This week, a number of reports claimed that Brad Pitt and Quentin Tarantino, long standing partners, are in talks for the actor to feature in Tarantino's possible last project as director. This has driven fans into a frenzy. After directing his tenth feature, Tarantino has long declared his intention to step away from the film industry. And it now seems that the director and one of his most recognisable muses, Brad Pitt, may work together again on his possible next, "The Movie Critic.”

Speaking out, Tarantino stated that he will only make ten films in his career before calling it quits. With the huge critical and commercial success of his ninth picture, "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood," starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Margot Robbie, in 2019, curiosity has turned to what Tarantino's tenth and last film might be. Tarantino had previously said that, in contrast to his recent larger-scale epics, he intended his last picture to be a more intimate production. Let's talk about the rumors about his long-term project "The Movie Critic" and the likelihood of Brad Pitt playing the lead.

Details on "The Movie Critic"

Deadline and other publications claim that Tarantino has been working on "The Movie Critic" for a long time, sporadically. It narrates the tale of a middle-aged guy who works as a New York City movie critic in the 1970s. Upon losing his work, he chooses to devote his time to writing a novel. The logline hinted to two things that Tarantino's highly regarded body of work is known for: a character study and a tribute to cinema.

Pitt has starred in three of Tarantino's most well-known films to date, demonstrating the productive working relationship the two have experienced. These included Cliff Booth in "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" and Lieutenant Aldo Raine in 2009's "Inglourious Basterds," as well as Floyd in 1994's "Pulp Fiction," which propelled Pitt to superstardom. Some of Pitt's most renowned and unforgettable performances have come from their partnerships. Fans are thrilled about the possibility of a fourth Pitt-Tarantino pairing because of this history.

Variety has recently received confirmation from a number of industry sources that Pitt and Tarantino are now in early discussions for the actor to play the lead in "The Movie Critic." According to one insider, "the director and the star's reps are in the early stages of negotiations." According to another person with knowledge of the development, "both parties are very interested in reuniting for what could be Tarantino's grand finale". In the event that a deal is reached, Pitt would play the lead role in Tarantino's possible farewell film.
