Quentin Tarantino opens up why he “pulled the plug” on the film critic

Quentin Tarantino He is still hunting for his final film, and now we finally share why The cinematographic critic He didn’t make the cut.

The legendary director had previously made fun of the project as his tenth and last film, and the fans were anxious to see what kind of cinematographic drop he had in store. But apparently, Tarantino decided to get away from the project even after writing the complete screenplay.

In the podcast of the church of Tarantino, Tarantino opened up why he in the end demolished the film.

“Nobody is waiting for this thing in itself. I want to say, I can do it every time I want. I mean, it’s already written. So ok, let me don’t start now,” he explained.

“Let me try to write it as a movie and let me see if it’s better like this. And I was like ‘Oh, ok, no, I think this will be the movie.’ And then he did not do it.

The idea for The cinematographic critic It started as a limited series in eight parts, which Tarantino has therefore modeled in a screenplay of the film. As he admits that he was enthusiastic about the writing process, the energy has not moved to pre-production.

“I was so enthusiastic about writing, but I was not so excited to dramatize what I wrote once in pre-production.”

That lack of enthusiasm was not the only red flag. Tarantino also challenged each other with the topic, focused on an apparently banal profession.

“But there was a challenge that I gave to myself when I did it. Can I take the most boring profession in the world and make it an interesting film?” he said.

“Each Tarantino title promises so much, except The cinematographic critic. Who wants to see a television show on the film critic of AF*? Who wants to see a movie called The cinematographic critic? If I can actually make a movie or a television show on someone watching interesting films, this is a result. “

Set in 1977 in California, the story was inspired by a real and less known writer of life that reviewed films for a porn magazine. Despite the previous relationships that would have been a continuation of Once upon a time … in HollywoodTarantino closed him hard.

“It is a spiritual sequel to Once upon a time … in Hollywood To the extent that they take place in the same world and take place in the same city. But there were no crossover characters. Cliff Booth has never been inside The cinematographic critic. It’s all a pile of bull **. It has never been, never, never, never. “

This did not stop Brad PittCliff booth character of living. While The cinematographic critic He is no longer on the table, Pitt is resuming his role in the next Netflix film The adventures of Cliff Boothdirected by David Fincher.

So what is Tarantino’s next film? This remains a mystery. According to sources, he returned to the drawing table, looking for a new idea that he will really excite him and his fans.

I’d still like to see what Tarantino had planned The cinematographic critic. It should simply return to its original plan and develop it like a series. So he wouldn’t count like his final film.
