Los Angeles, CA – Brad Pitt is reportedly set to star in Quentin Tarantino’s latest film, The Movie Critic, in what is rumored to be the director’s final project. The duo previously collaborated on 2019’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, a role that earned Pitt his first Oscar for best supporting actor. Pitt also appeared in Tarantino’s Inglourious Basterds and 1993’s True Romance, co-written by Tarantino.
The Movie Critic is said to be set in 1977 Los Angeles and follows the story of a critic working for a fictional publication called The Popstar Pages. According to Tarantino, the film is based on a real but relatively unknown individual who wrote movie reviews for a less-than-reputable publication, adding a hint of cynicism and a dose of humor to his work. The role Brad Pitt will play has not been disclosed.
In an interview, Tarantino described the lead character as someone in their mid-30s and described Pitt as “one of the last remaining big-screen movie stars.” The pair’s previous collaboration, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, was a commercial success, grossing $377 million worldwide.
Pitt, who has been busy with leading roles in his recent projects, including action thriller Bullet Train and showbiz drama Babylon, will also star in an untitled F1 movie alongside Javier Bardem and Damson Idris. His upcoming work alongside George Clooney in the Apple thriller Wolfs is highly anticipated.
The news of Pitt’s involvement in Tarantino’s final film has sparked excitement and speculation among fans and industry insiders as they await further details and updates on The Movie Critic.
