Quentin Tarantino has announced that he will no longer direct his next film, The Movie Critic. This film was supposed to be his tenth feature. Rather, he’s put the project in the hands of the noted director David Fincher. The Movie Critic will be illuminating Cliff Booth, played by Brad Pitt in Tarantino’s Once Upon A Time In Hollywood. Brad Pitt is returning to crank up the badassery once more – helping to open an all-new chapter full of Rico’s wildest adventures yet!
The announcement that Tarantino would resign surprised many. The Movie Critic isn’t just another sequel. It’s an interesting demonstration of Booth’s character development within Tarantino’s filmic multiverse, of course. Beyond that, the film will dig into the fun and exciting era of film criticism and the film industry at large in the late 1970s. This vibrant landscape will further color Booth’s personality and amplify his adventures.
David Fincher, known for his meticulous approach and collaboration with actors such as Brad Pitt, will bring his unique vision to the project. What we know is that Fincher and Pitt are working together to develop a rich, compelling story. Their story will fill in Tarantino’s original work and offer a new, compelling perspective. Perhaps the biggest thing to point out is that The Movie Critic will not feature Leonardo DiCaprio returning as Rick Dalton. This decision is very different from the original focus of the film.
Well, you know Tarantino definitely has the hot, soon-to-be Mecca Newscreenplay for The Movie Critic. He’s not above passing off his scripts to fellow auteur directors, though this one is all him. His previous collaborations with filmmakers like Tony Scott on True Romance and Robert Rodriguez on From Dusk Till Dawn set a precedent for such partnerships in Hollywood. The new move speaks to Tarantino’s confidence in Fincher’s ability to realize his vision on the screen.
The Movie Critic is set against the backdrop of Once Upon A Time In Hollywood‘s world. More so it’s a welcome expansionary effort as an independent venture that further enriches the development of the character Cliff Booth. The new installment should definitely explore innovative themes and stories that connect with contemporary audiences. Along the way, it’ll retain all of the signature stylistic touches that fans have come to expect from Tarantino’s oeuvre.
As the excitement continues to grow around The Movie Critic, fans of both directors will be interested to see further details about this promising collaboration. With Tarantino’s inspired screenplay and Fincher’s unique vision, the two are sure to deliver a film that will be among the best of the year.
