For some time now, Quentin Tarantino has maintained that his goal is to direct 10 films only, and while he has discussed the possibility of a third cinematic outing for Uma Thurman's Bride before, evidently, he doesn't plan to wrap things up with "Kill Bill Vol. 3." Rather, he seeks to give that honor to a film he's dubbed "The Movie Critic": a story that was initially theorized to be loosely based on real-life film critic Pauline Kael, though this doesn't seem to be the case. We do know that the movie takes place in 1977 California.
At the time of this writing, it's unknown who will star in "The Movie Critic," so time will tell if Tarantino will seek out an entirely new cast, look to frequent collaborators to fill the cast list, or go for a mix of both. As far as the lead goes, Tarantino shared with Deadline, "I haven't decided yet but it's going to be somebody in the 35-year-old ballpark. It'll definitely be a new leading man for me." Surely more information about the cast and story will come to light now that production is soon to begin.
"The Movie Critic" lacks a release date as of the time of publication.
