Hollywood heavyweights Brad Pitt and Quentin Tarantino are set to collaborate once more for Tarantino's final film, 'The Movie Critic' as per Deadline. This marks their fourth partnership, with Pitt having previously starred in True Romance (1993), Inglourious Basterds (2009), and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (2019), which earned him his first Oscar for Best Supporting Actor.

Tarantino, known for his unique storytelling and love for the unconventional, has described Pitt as "one of the last remaining big-screen movie stars." The Movie Critic, set in 1977 Los Angeles, follows the story of a critic working for the fictional magazine "The Popstar Pages." Interestingly, Tarantino revealed that the film is based on a real person who, despite not being widely famous, wrote movie reviews for a rather unconventional publication—a porno magazine.

The character, described by Tarantino as a "very good critic" with a "cynical as hell" attitude, was known for his humorous but often controversial writing style, laden with curses and racial slurs. The director fondly recalls the real-life inspiration, stating, "He was as rude as hell."

This upcoming project is expected to be Tarantino's farewell to the director's chair, as he has previously announced his intention to retire after completing ten films. "The Movie Critic" will be his tenth feature, following the success of Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, which grossed an impressive $377 million worldwide.

While Brad Pitt's involvement in the film is yet to be officially confirmed, he is currently immersed in various projects. Pitt is currently working on a Formula One racing movie produced by Apple, and directed by Joseph Kosinski, known for Top Gun: Maverick. Additionally, the Bullet Train actor is set to star in another F1 movie alongside Javier Bardem and Damson Idris. Furthermore, he will share the screen with George Clooney in the Apple thriller 'Wolfs', adding to his recent titles like the action thriller "Bullet Train" and the showbiz drama "Babylon."

Tarantino, in describing the lead character for "The Movie Critic," expressed a desire for someone in the "35-year-old ballpark" and referred to the character as a "new leading man" for him. The character is envisioned as a sharp and cynical critic, with reviews likened to a blend of early Howard Stern and what Travis Bickle might be if he were a film critic.

Filming for 'The Movie Critic' is anticipated to commence either by the end of this year or in early 2025, promising fans a captivating and fitting conclusion to Quentin Tarantino's illustrious directorial career.
