Brad Pitt looks set to reunite with Quentin Tarantino one last time as the famed director embarks on his final movie. Deadline reports that Brad Pitt will be in the cast of The Movie Critic, which is said to feature a 1970s movie critic who writes reviews for a porn magazine.

If Pitt is indeed involved in The Movie Critic, it will be his third collaboration with Tarantino, having previously appeared in Inglourious Basterds and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. It's unclear whether Brad Pitt will play the title role.

Elsewhere in the report, Tarantino is said to have done "quite a bit of rewriting" since May 2023, when he first revealed the details of his upcoming film and ruled out speculation that it was about New Yorker critic Pauline Kael. Instead, Tarantino said that it was based on a real-life writer who was "very, very funny" and "wrote like he was 55 but he was only in his early to mid-30s." Pitt, for what it's worth, is 60.

"I think he was a very good critic. He was as cynical as hell. His reviews were a cross between early Howard Stern and what Travis Bickle [Robert DeNiro’s character in Taxi Driver] might be if he were a film critic," Tarantino said at the time.

Tarantino has otherwise been tight-lipped about the film as he works on the script. When it's eventually released, The Movie Critic will be Tarantino's 10th and final film, joining Kill Bill, Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs, and other classic works.
