Quentin Tarantino Explains Decision to "Pull the Plug” on What Would Have Been His Final Film, ‘The Movie Critic'

Quentin Tarantino lost enthusiasm for dramatizing his script during pre-production, leading him to scrap The Movie Critic despite being happy with the writing, he said on his podcast.

  • Tarantino has offered an explanation for canceling The Movie Critic, revealing he wasn’t really that excited about dramatizing it during a recent appearance on The Church of Tarantino podcast.
  • During pre-production, Tarantino realized he wasn’t really that excited about dramatizing the script, dampening his enthusiasm for the project.
  • Tarantino clarified the project’s relation, insisting `The Movie Critic` had no narrative link to `Once Upon a Time in Hollywood` and that Cliff Booth’s inclusion “was never the case, ever ever ever.”
  • Shortly after walking away from The Movie Critic, Tarantino began writing The Adventures of Cliff Booth, which David Fincher is set to direct for Netflix.
  • Looking ahead, he will work on his next feature after the play, as Tarantino plans to open a play on the West End in London in 2026.
