Quentin Tarantino managed to attract the attention of audiences and critics already with his first projects and was able to evolve over time, reducing the wear and tear of his work due to the exhaustive copies that arose from admiration and his growing popularity. Now the director is ready to leave his career behind and wants to end it on a high note by developing a film on the industry itself. The film critic It’s already one of the most anticipated titles in recent years, and a new rumor suggests that Paul Walter Hauser could be close to taking on the lead role.
If Tarantino won the applause of the experts and the public in general with Perros De Reserva (90%) and the premiere of Violent Times (94%), it simply confirmed his status in Hollywood as one of the most interesting and bold creators of that era. The director greatly divided a part of the public due to his use of violence and was even seen as a threat to the industry and the values of the time. His original position was that he wanted to criticize the way violence has been normalized, but over the years, he has admitted that he simply finds it entertaining to use it in fiction.
But once this prejudice against violence and the director’s very explicit way of showing it and exploiting it in his stories were overcome, audiences began to look beyond it and get an idea of what the creator had to offer the industry. It was clear from the start that Tarantino was, above all, a big fan of cinema and an expert in its history and its references, which he repeatedly took up in his work, even if he was repeatedly criticized for “stealing” his ideas from classic films.
Tarantino will exploit his love of cinema in other ways
For many years, Tarantino claimed that he only wanted to direct ten films and then retire from cinema. Over time, this idea seemed to be forgotten due to its success at the box office and in the medium’s most important awards, but the director reiterated his interest in ending his career, at least for the big screen. In fact, there are new books on the horizon, including the successful film adaptation of Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. With 94%, the creator has proven that he has the resources to use his love of cinema from new angles away from film sets.
“The Movie Critic” will be Tarantino’s last major work
As he continues to put down roots in other media, Tarantino is preparing The Film Critic, a film that will end his time in Hollywood on a high note. The story will once again focus on the film industry, but as the title suggests, it is based on the work of analysts rather than artists. The director has revealed some details about this proposal, which he compares a bit to the hopelessness of Taxi Driver (98%), especially for the protagonist, which is already a role that many actors are looking for.
According to Insider Daniel Richtman (above the world of the role), Tarantino could already have in the character of his protagonists Paul Walter Hauser, best known for his work on I, Tonya (96%), The KKKlansman (85%), Cobra Kai (100%), and Richard Jewell (89%), who won several Best Supporting Actor awards for his work in the miniseries Black Bird (95%). The report indicates that the actor was in final talks before the strikes began, so his participation will ultimately depend on how quickly they can resolve this issue that has crippled the Hollywood industry.
This rumor is also accompanied by others, such as that Tarantino wants the participation of Samuel L. Jackson, with whom he has worked in one way or another in practically all of his films, and Bruce Willis for a final cameo, although this seems unlikely due to the actor’s health. None of this is confirmed, and the director cannot make much progress with the project at the moment. The only thing that seems certain is that the script is already finished and ready for production.
