If you consider yourself to be somewhat of a film buff, I’m imagining that you’ve seen every single movie in Quentin Tarantino’s back catalogue. Tarantino’s professional directorial debut came in the form of 1992’s Reservoir Dogs, but it was 1994’s Pulp Fiction that really solidified the director as an all-time great.
If you’re a fan of the director, you’ll know that he’s always been adamant that he'll only release 10 films. At that point, Tarantino hopes to retire from filmmaking - and according to sources, the auteur’s 10th and final film is reportedly now in the works. If you’re thinking, Kate, hasn’t Tarantino already released 10 films? Technically yes, but the director considers Kill Bill: Volume 1 and Kill Bill: Volume 2 to be two parts of the same film. The latest and final film is seemingly set to take viewers to 1970s Los Angeles.
It’s not quite a Tarantino feature, but the release of The Super Mario Bros. Movie is mere weeks away. Take a look at the trailer below.
To date, we’ve had Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, Jackie Brown, Kill Bill: Volume 1, Kill Bill: Volume 2, Death Proof, Inglourious Basterds, Django Unchained, The Hateful Eight, and Once Upon A Time In Hollywood. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the final film to join that list will be The Movie Critic. All we really know so far is that it’ll star a female lead and, as previously mentioned, will be set in 1970s Los Angeles.
The Hollywood Reporter speculated that the film might be about Pauline Kael, one of the most influential film critics of all time. In the 1970s, Kael worked as a consultant for Paramount and Tarantino is known to have a deep respect for Kael and her work. Unfortunately, she passed away in 2001.

We all know that Tarantino has frequent collaborators when it comes to actors, including Leonardo DiCaprio, Brad Pitt, Christoph Waltz, and Samuel L. Jackson. Once Upon A Time In Hollywood saw Tarantino cast Margot Robbie. Could she star as the lead, I wonder? So many questions. Chances are, the film is likely to be several years away from release so we’ll just have to wait and see what the writer and director has in store.
