Brad Pitt as Cliff Booth in Once Upon a Time In Hollywood
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Quentin Tarantino's canceled final film The Movie Critic would have reportedly brought back iconic characters from his previous movies. Tarantino’s long-standing plan to end his filmmaking career after his tenth film seemed to take a big step forward with the announcement of his new project, a ‘70s-set movie about a fictional film reviewer working for a sleazy porn magazine.
Details are now emerging about what the canceled film would have been, including a report that Tarantino was playing with two different ideas to bring back characters from previous films for The Movie Critic. One idea would have seen the director's films existing in the same reality as the new movie, letting him resurrect his famous characters for "film within a film" moments, or bring back favorite past actors to portray fictional versions of themselves.
Why It’s Good News That Tarantino Has Canceled The Movie Critic Tarantino’s love for 1970s cinema is obvious given the style and content of his own films. That being the case, it’s no surprise that the director planned to revisit that decade for his presumptive final film. While going back to the 1970s as a setting sounds like a great start for a last Tarantino movie, populating that movie with characters from past Tarantino films sounds like a self-indulgent, potentially disastrous concept.
Tarantino has long enjoyed tying his own movies together via Easter eggs, and has occasionally threatened to revisit characters from past films without ever following through. It seems the director’s Movie Critic plans would have seen him at last create the universe-resolving film he’s always flirted with, but if the new reports are true, that film would have been less a playful revisit than a narcissistic wallow.
