New details have come to light pertaining to Quentin Tarantino’s The Movie Critic, which was supposed to be his 10th and final film before the director abandoned those plans and decided to make something else instead. According to The Hollywood Reporter, one of the ideas that Tarantino was considering was that it would be a “goodbye metaverse” movie featuring characters from his other movies.
“That way, Tarantino could bring back some of the stars of his earlier work to reprise their iconic characters in ‘movie-within-a-movie’ moments, or to play fictional versions of themselves as the actors who played those characters,” THR said.
The report also said Tarantino considered having The Movie Critic feature a movie theater where characters could interact with an aspiring filmmaker–a 16-year-old Tarantino.
