Legendary filmmaker Quentin Tarantino, who is known for 'Pulp Fiction', 'Django Unchained', 'Reservoir Dogs', and others, is not interested in making 'The Movie Critic', which he previously said would be his final directorial venture.

The director has given the project a thumbs down, reports 'Variety'.

'The Movie Critic' would have been Tarantino바카라™s 10th feature film, but sources say he won바카라™t be looking to rewrite the script or revive the project, instead making plans to move on to something new.

As per 'Variety', Brad Pitt had been cast in a lead role in the film. At one point, Tarantino had said the 1977-set film was about a small-time movie critic who wrote smart reviews for a porn magazine. It was also rumoured that Pitt would play some form of his 'Once Upon a Time바카라¦ in Hollywood' character Cliff Booth, who in Tarantino바카라™s novelisation of the feature was a big movie buff.

Tarantino talked briefly about 'The Movie Critic' before an audience at the Cannes Film Festival last year, saying, 바카라œI can바카라™t tell you guys (anything) until you see the movie. I바카라™m tempted to do some of the character바카라™s monologues right now, but I바카라™m not going to. Maybe if there were less video cameras. You just have to wait and see."

The news was first reported by 'Deadline'.

The plan to film 'The Movie Critic' was moving along before Tarantino had a change of heart. In addition to casting Pitt, the production had secured a $20 million tax subsidy from the state of California.

It remains uncertain which project the auteur will pursue next, as he had also decided against an R-rated 'Star Trek' film in 2019, saying it was too big a project.

바카라œLook, I might come up with a really big idea. But right now, the idea of a smaller audience almost all the way around is appealing to me," he said at the time.
