Quentin Tarantino confirms that he will no longer direct 'The Movie Critic' for the film he said would be his last.
Quentin Tarantino is no longer planning to make “The Movie Critic,” which he had earlier said would be his final film as a director. It was confirmed Wednesday that the director had given the project a thumbs down.
“The Movie Critic” would have been Tarantino’s tenth feature film, but sources say he won’t be looking to rewrite the script or revive the project, instead making plans to move on to something new.
I know I would have loved his last film no matter what, but I am glad he scrapped this idea. I love his love for over the top violence and I hope he chooses a great action premise with his witty dialogue. Django unchained is still my favourite film and I know he will take his craft seriously and not disappoint.
TBH I kind of wish he'd let go of the "10 films and done" rule, I worry that he's just going to keep second-guessing his final film and throw away all sorts of films he otherwise would have made that would have been perfectly decent.
But I suppose the scripts will always still exist, so someone else could always make them at some point. Worked out for True Romance and Natural Born Killers.
