Movies News Talk
Renowned director Quentin Tarantino, who is well-known for his original style and legendary movies like "Pulp Fiction" and "Inglourious Basterds," said in 2022 plans for his tenth and last movie, "The Movie Critic." The project was later shelved, though, and left supporters wondering what happened.
Though specifics about "The Movie Critic" were few, Tarantino gave some ideas on his vision. Set in the 1970s, the movie would have tracked a Film critic employed for a Los Angeles newspaper. Working as a video store clerk and film critic prior to starting his filmmaking career, this environment reflected Tarantino's own early years.
Tarantino saw the critic as a multifarious character confronted with moral conundrums inside the Film business. He intended to investigate ideas of criticism, artistic expression, and the evolving scene of movies during a turning point.
Still unknown is the precise cause of "The Movie Critic" cancellation. Still, rumors about the possible elements influencing this choice abound.
Tarantino's Seeking of a New Project:
According some sources Tarantino might have just turned his attention to another Project. Perhaps a new concept captured his imagination and drove him to abandon "The Movie Critic" in favor of an other creative venture.
The COVID-19 epidemic's effects:
The COVID-19 epidemic seriously disrupted the film business and resulted in financial restrictions and delays. Tarantino's decision to shelve "The Movie Critic" could have been influenced by the effects of the epidemic on manufacturing and distribution.
Changing the creative orientation:
Some think Tarantino might have run across artistic obstacles during script development. Maybe he finally chose against following the story since he couldn find the proper tone, structure, or narrative arc for it.
A last note:
Tarantino has formally called off "The Movie Critic," but he might still come back to work on it at some point. Only time will determine whether this movie ever finds its way on the silver screen. But the excitement around "The Movie Critic" emphasizes Tarantino's continuing impact and the mystery around his creative process.
