The Movie Critic will no longer be Quentin Tarantino’s tenth and final movie, according toThe Hollywood Reporter, with the director returning to the drawing board for his last feature film.
The now-scrapped project, which would have been set in 1977 and followed a cynical movie critic, was set to star Brad Pitt – and he was reportedly set to return as hisOnce Upon a Time in Hollywoodcharacter, stuntman Cliff Booth. Tom Cruise andJohn Travolta were also rumored to be circling the project. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the director, who has long said he would only direct 10 movies, had a change of heart about The Movie Critic and has moved away from it entirely.
