A listing on Production Weekly has Quentin Tarantino’s next film starting production in December. Brad Pitt, Uma Thurman and Samuel L. Jackson are mentioned for the cast — you can see the whole listing below this write-up.
Still no official word as to what this mysterious project might actually be, but I was recently told that it’s not the recently shelved “The Movie Critic.”
Last week, Jeff Sneider (via The Hot Mic) dropped a rumor that had been going around town for a few weeks now; Tarantino was preparing to shoot a new movie, and that production could happen before the year was done.
What I find rather odd is that, just two months ago, Tarantino stated he was “in no hurry to actually jump into production,” and that he was waiting until his son turned six years old so that he can bring him on the set to create memories of his dad shooting a film.
Tarantino added that what he was doing “right now” was “writing a play,” and that it would “probably be the next thing” he does. Not just that, “if it’s a smash hit? It might be my last movie.”
Last year, Tarantino was gearing up to shoot “The Movie Critic,” that is until he decided to scrap the project entirely for, what some claimed was, another film. Word is that Tarantino rewrote the ‘Movie Critic’ script, had a new draft and then, quite simply, had a change of heart.
However, last year, many weeks after ‘Movie Critic’ got scrapped, Sony International’s Steven O’Dell teased that the studio might have acquired Tarantino’s next project — he didn’t provide any additional details. Whatever this project might be, it remains under lock and key and will remain so for a while.
As expected, Snyder's latest is being torn apart by TIFF attendees. No mercy given. The film, which had its world premiere this evening, is being called by some one of the worst movies to ever premiere at the festival.
