Idk if audiences feel like watching a movie about a movie critic. 

The main appeal of qt movies is usu the action slash violence 

This. Bring back the gore, the violent. Kill Bill & Django & Inglorious Basterd is so good. We want more of that.

 

Why do i feel Emma Stone gonna snatch this role?

JLaw also a cool option.

Tarantino likes to re-work with actors, so I'm rooting for MarGOD to snatch the lead role (or a supporting role if the lead is out of her age range).

Someone mentioned Meryl and now I can’t unsee it although the good sis may be pushing the limit at playing a woman in her 50s (still even when Tarantino’s movies are based around real people / events they are still very much film fantasies through and through and are only tangentially grounded in the true story, so it’s not out of the world of possibility; and Pauline has always had a more mature look to her that Streep could easily pull off in hair and makeup).

 

It would be the cuntiest of stunt castings for his final film. HOWEVER, as fun as it sounds I feel like working with Jennifer Jason Leigh again in a lead role feels more realistic. And honestly I think she would be the better — if less flashy — pick.

JJL is also simply a better actress than Mehryl

I mean Wolf of Wall Street, I Tonya, and Once Upon a Time all turned decent profits :michael: Obviously Babylon and Amsterdam were horrendous flops but I think she can turn things around.

 

She’s capable of giving a great performance (she might not always be the most consistent but when she’s on she’s on) hopefully Barbie and this film (if she really is attached) help build up her credibility because her turn as Tonya Harding was really impressive.

Literally margot is a one trick pony with her acting. She always seems like a version of harley quinn in her roles. I have yet to be REALLY impressed by her work so i hope she offers more nuanced roles soon.

 

(My fave role of hers is in mary queen of scots)

Female lead :jonny5: JJL, Uma or Pam please

Hopefully this will finally net an Oscar win for a female performance in his films

 

People in the twitter comments suggesting mid actresses like Olsen or Jlaw :bibliahh:

The actresses he wants to work with the most are Kate Winslet and Jennifer Lawrence. He even asked Lawrence to be in his last three movies. "Mid." Lmao, okay. Sure.

DEADLINE: Breaking Baz @ Cannes: Quentin Tarantino Exclusive Part 1 – Surprise Directors’ Fortnight Classic Revealed & Plenty More Detail On The Filmmaker’s Next Project ‘The Movie Critic’

Quentin Tarantino, sitting in the shade on the Carlton Hotel terrace, revealed to this column that his new film will indeed be about a movie critic from the 1970s but he stressed that it won’t be about the New Yorker’s Pauline Kael. Instead, it will be based on a man who wrote for a ***** magazine.

The Movie Critic takes place in California in 1977 “and is based on a guy who really lived, but was never really famous, and he used to write movie reviews for a ***** rag.”

One of Tarantino’s jobs when he was a teen was loading  porn magazines into a vending machine and emptying quarters out of the cash dispenser. “All the other stuff was too skanky to read but then there was this ***** rag that had a really interesting movie page.” The filmmaker did not want to reveal the name of the magazine but for The Movie Critic it’ll be called The Popstar Pages, I ask if the critic in question was “known”. Tarantino throws his head back: “Well, he was known if you read the Popstar Pages!!”

He explained: “He wrote about mainstream movies and he was the second-string critic. I think he was a very good critic. He was as cynical as hell. His reviews were a cross between early Howard Stern and what Travis Bickle [Robert DeNiro’s character in Taxi Driver] might be if he were a film critic.”

Sipping his juice, he added, “Think about Travis’s diary entries. “But the ***** rag critic was very, very funny. He was very rude, you know. He cursed. He used racial slurs. But his **** was really funny. He was as rude as hell.” Tarantino did research inTo the reviewer’s life. “He wrote like he was 55 but he was only in his early to mid-30s. He died in his late thirties. It wasn’t clear for a while but now I’ve done some more research and I think it was it was complications due to alcoholism.”

No one has been cast. He acknowledged that there aren’t any actors in his repertory company in that age range. Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt, he conceded, are too old for the part. “I haven’t decided yet but it’s going to be somebody in the 35 year-old ball park. It’ll definitely be a new leading man for me.”

I pushed him on who it could be but he refused to tell. “I do have an idea of somebody I can imagine doing it really well,” but he’s unsure whether to give it to that person. After Cannes he’ll return to his wife and two children in Tel Aviv. Then later next month, he’ll relocate to Los Angeles for “pre-pre production and then I want to start seeing who else is out there.” I ask if he can’t find his leading man in the United States, would he look elsewhere like the UK?

“No,” he said empathetically. “The truth of the matter is, yes, obviously, a Brit could pull it off, but I don’t want to cast a Brit.

THE CINEMAHOLIC: Quentin Tarantino’s The Movie Critic Starts Shooting in Los Angeles in Late-September


The shooting of Quentin Tarantino’s tenth and apparently final feature film ‘The Movie Critic’ is set to begin in late September 2023. Los Angeles, California, serves as the principal location of the film, which revolves around a critic who writes movie reviews for a ***** rag called The Popstar Pages. The film is set in 1977 California.
