It’s been 13 months since Quentin Tarantino set The Movie Critic in stone as his tenth and final film, and now he’s walking back those plans.
The Hollywood Reporter has the details on the renowned filmmaker moving away from the long-anticipated project, but it’s unclear why exactly he’s had such a radical change of heart this late into the process.
Before The Movie Critic, there was a Star Trek idea Tarantino had been kicking around for a while, in hopes of turning it into a film, but that didn’t come to fruition either. He’s spent more than a few years now saying he wants to “go out on the top of his game,” a reasoning that’s been confusing to say the least, given his love for the medium and the fact most legendary directors never really walk away from making films. Hell, Ridley Scott (86 years old now) is still putting out a major feature per year on average. “I want to stop at a certain point. Directors don’t get better as they get older. Usually the worst films in their filmography are those last four at the end. I am all about my filmography, and one bad film f***s up three good ones,” Tarantino told Playboy in 2012.
