Quentin Tarantino and Brad Pitt back together: actor joins director's final project

Brad Pitt has joined Quentin Tarantino's latest film, The Movie Critic.

Here's What The Movie Is About

Tarantino has previously outlined the plot of his latest film.

According to the director, the action unfolds in 1977 in California, and it will be about a real character - a second-rate film critic, who wrote reviews for a porn magazine.

"He wrote about mainstream movies and he was the second-string critic. 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 [from Taxi Driver] might be if he were a film critic ... Think about Travis's diary entries. But the porno rag critic was very, very funny. He was very rude, you know. He cursed. He used racial slurs. But his sh-t was really funny. He was as rude as hell."

Here's What We Know

It hasn't yet been revealed exactly what role Pitt has landed. Of course, there is already active discussion that he will play the role of the film critic himself. But there are a couple of sticking points that convince us otherwise.

Firstly, Tarantino himself said that in the main role will be a new person for him. And as far as everyone knows, he has more than one joint work with Pitt. Secondly, from the description of the film critic from Tarantino it is clear that 60-year-old Brad Pitt is not suitable for age:

"He wrote like he was 55 but he was only in his early to mid-30s. He died in his late thirties. It wasn't clear for a while but now I've done some more research and I think it was it was complications due to alcoholism" said Tarantino. "I haven't decided yet but it's going to be somebody in the 35-year-old ballpark. It'll definitely be a new leading man for me ... I do have an idea of somebody I can imagine doing it really well."

Either way, whatever role Tarantino chooses for Pitt - it will be brilliant, as any of their previous collaborations.

Pitt first played in a film written by Tarantino back in the early '90s. That was Tony Scott's film True Romance. Then there was a collaboration between actor and director in the legendary "Inglorious Basterds" (2009), which received eight Oscar nominations (one won by Christoph Waltz for Best Supporting Actor). Ten years later, they reunited for Once Upon A Time...In Hollywood, which received ten Oscar nominations and won two - including Brad Pitt's win for Best Supporting Actor.

When We Can Expect It

No release date for the film has been announced yet.
