Quentin Tarantino Set to Direct Final Film, 'The Movie Critic' (Update: SCRAPPED)

[Lootpack]

The filmmaker behind some of the most indelible movies of the last three decades, Pulp Fiction and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood among them, is putting together what sources say is being billed as his final movie.

The Movie Critic is the name of the script that Tarantino wrote and is prepping to direct this fall, according to sources.

Logline details are being kept in a suitcase but sources describe the story as being set in late 1970s Los Angeles with a female lead at its center. It is possible the story focuses on Pauline Kael, one of the most influential movie critics of all time. Kael, who died in 2001, was not just a critic but also an essayist and novelist. She was known for her pugnacious fights with editors as well as filmmakers. In the late 1970s, Kael had a very brief tenure working as a consultant for Paramount, a position she accepted at the behest of actor Warren Beatty. The timing of that Paramount job seems to coincide with the setting of the script — and the filmmaker is known to have a deep respect for Kael, making the odds of her being the subject of the film more likely.

Part of me always wanted him to go out by finishing up the loose ideas he had for another Kill Bill, but I'm interested in this.

That fell apart a few years back. Honestly, it was probably never going to happen, since his idea for the movie didn't really fit with anything they've done with Star Trek before, unfortunately.
