Brad Pitt will re-team with writer/director Quentin Tarantino on Tarantino’s upcoming (and rumored to be final) film “The Movie Critic,” according to media reports.

Pitt has teamed with Tarantino before, having starred in both 2009’s “Inglourious Basterds” and 2019’s “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood,” with the latter winning Pitt an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his portrayal of violent stuntman Cliff Booth. Pitt also co-starred in Tony Scott’s “True Romance” back in 1993, which was famously adapted from one of Tarantino’s early scripts. (Pitt memorably played Floyd, Michael Rapaport’s constantly stoned roommate.)

While it’s unclear who Pitt is playing, Tarantino has referred to the movie as being “epilogue-y,” which clearly has to do with it being the final film of his career but also one has to wonder if it be an epilogue for “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” itself? “The Movie Critic” is set in 1977, less than ten years after the events of “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood,” when Pitt’s Cliff Booth thwarted an attack on actor Rick Dalton (Leonard DiCaprio) by Charles Manson’s (Damon Herriman) “family.”
