<p>Writer and director <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/ideology-trumps-entertaining-now-quentin-tarantino-slams-hollywood-for-virtue-signaling-instead-of-entertaining/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Quentin Tarantino</a> is reportedly shopping his tenth feature film – tentatively titled &#8220;The Movie Critic&#8221; — which he has said in the past will be his final film.</p>
<p><a href="https://variety.com/2023/film/news/quentin-tarantino-final-film-script-auction-1235554423/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Details of the script</a>, which was written by Tarantino, have been kept quiet, and reports suggest that studio executives have been forced to read the script in a conference room at Tarantino&#8217;s agent&#8217;s office — a process he adopted with &#8220;Once Upon a Time in Hollywood&#8221; after some of his &#8220;Hateful Eight&#8221; screenplay got leaked in 2015.</p>
<p>Among the tidbits that have made it into the public sphere: the film is set in the 1970s and centers around a female lead. Rumors have circulated that the female at the center of the story might be Pauline Kael, who was an essayist and novelist in addition to her work as a film critic.</p>
<p>According to The Hollywood Reporter, Kael was &#8220;known for her pugnacious fights with editors as well as filmmakers&#8221; and worked as a consultant at Paramount for a short period of time in the 1970s. She took that job on advice from actor Warren Beatty.</p>
<p>Tarantino has not yet found a studio home for the project either — and reports indicate he might be looking for a deal similar to the one he <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/general-news/tarantino-scored-a-rare-deal-once-a-time-hollywood-1225415/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">landed at Sony</a> with &#8220;Once Upon a Time in Hollywood&#8221; – which allowed them to distribute the picture but will kick the copyright back to him after a preordained length of time.</p>
<p>Tarantino&#8217;s play for ownership of that film resulted in a hard no from Warner Bros. — the studio reportedly believed that if they gave him a deal they would later be forced to do the same for other directors.</p>
<p>&#8220;Warner Bros. couldn’t do that because then they would have to give Christopher Nolan that same deal,&#8221; a source told The Hollywood Reporter at the time.</p>
<p>Other directors who have successfully negotiated similar deals for ownership of their films include George Lucas, Mel Gibson, Peter Jackson, and Richard Linklater.</p>
