Production on Academy Award-winning filmmaker Quentin Tarantino‘s final feature film is expected to kick off this year.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Tarantino is currently developing his 10th movie, which sources say is also being billed as his last. The script Tarantino wrote is reportedly titled The Movie Critic. Tarantino will direct his script, with sources further explaining that cameras are expected to begin rolling in the fall. The Movie Critic does not currently have a studio attached, though the project could go out to potential buyers as early as this week. Story details are being kept under wraps for the time being, though THR reports that the film is “set in late 1970s Los Angeles with a female lead at its center.”
To that end, THR further speculates that The Movie Critic could potentially be about influential film critic Pauline Kael, who passed away in 2001 and was known for clashing with editors and filmmakers alike. In the late 1970s, Kael briefly worked as a consultant for Paramount Pictures, having taken the job at the behest of actor Warren Beatty. Notably, Tarantino is known to have a great deal of respect for Kael, making it possible that his final film is indeed about her, especially considering its setting.
