Inspiration for the film came from Tarantino's teenage years and a real movie critic in a porno rag
Production was expected to start in 2024 but has been put on hold indefinitely
Quentin Tarantino has abandoned his rumored last film 'The Movie Critic'
Tarantino changed his mind about the project
The Movie Critic was set to be Tarantino's 10th film and star Brad Pitt
Quentin Tarantino, the renowned filmmaker known for his unique storytelling and eclectic film choices, has announced that he will no longer be making his supposed last film, titled 'The Movie Critic'. The project, which was set to be Tarantino's 10th movie and was rumored to star Brad Pitt, has been abandoned due to Tarantino changing his mind.
Tarantino had previously expressed inspiration for the film from his teenage years when he loaded porn magazines and found a second-string critic's movie reviews in one particularly interesting porno rag. The film was set in California in 1977 and was based on a real man who wrote movie reviews for the publication.
The Movie Critic gained momentum after the SAG-AFTRA strike ended, with Pitt reportedly joining the cast and production expected to start in 2024. However, Tarantino's change of heart has put the project on hold indefinitely.
Tarantino is no stranger to canceling and then uncanceling movies. In 2014, he temporarily abandoned plans for 'The Hateful Eight' after a rough draft of the script leaked online. However, he eventually returned to the project and it was released in 2015.
It is unclear what Tarantino's next project will be, but fans are eagerly anticipating his final film.

The author reports on Tarantino changing his mind about making a film and going back to the drawing board. This is not a fallacy as it is a factual statement. However, the author does use inflammatory rhetoric by describing Tarantino's inspiration for The Movie Critic as 'a very good critic. He was cynical as hell. His reviews were a cross between early Howard Stern and what Travis Bickle might be if he were a film critic.' This is an appeal to authority fallacy, implying that because the inspiration for the film was described in such glowing terms, the film itself must be good. However, this does not follow logically and should not influence the assessment of the quality of The Movie Critic. Therefore, I am deducting 5 points from a perfect score.
