Tarantino no longer directing THE MOVIE CRITIC as his final film

I mean, maybe he could just make the movie and then make another film if he wants to? This whole "ten films" thing has always been so fucking weird
Does he count making the final Kill Bill movie as another movie? Because we were promised that, damnit.
Same, maybe it could've been great but the subject matter didn't seem that enticing to me.
Still some random and surprising news, though.
This, just do as many as you want man.
I mean I get that he thinks it's not the best, sure, that makes sense, he knows best, but seeing as I enjoyed reading the extended book he made of Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, it would be really cool if he published the script like that
The article isn't actually about that, he's apparently scrapping the Movie Critic project entirely, which is surprising.
What more of that story is there to tell though?
She killed Bill
We already heard the pitch, many years ago
Nikki, twisted by Sofia Fatale, seeks revenge on The Bride for the death of her mother, ultimately facing off with BB as the cycle of vengeance continues
Sure, but I wonder how much of that stems from putting pressure on himself to make a "final movie". I can see it being easier for doubt to creep in when your mindset is "this is the last film I'll ever make".
Good, the premise sounded lame.
I still haven't seen Once Upon a Time in Hollywood either (only one of his I haven't seen), despite Tarantino being one of my favorite directors. I have zero interest in the premise there as well. Maybe I'll watch it some day but I really have no motivation to do so. Please make something that's not explicitly about Hollywood/the industry.

A Tarantino movie with Tom Cruise in it sounded wild. Premise didn't necessarily inspire excitement, but I'm sure QT could have pulled something off.
Lol, what a goof.
Yeah, man, your self-imposed ten movie restriction is stupid. He clearly psyched himself out here. He's going to spend years paralyzed in fear trying to find the perfect "final film" when he could simply just not adhere to his own stupid made up rule.

That sucks, was looking forward to it.
And please no more Kill Bill, two are more than enough. A horror movie would be dope, a psychological thriller/drama even better, but I'm not sure he could pull that off.

I think that's a huge part. In fact this makes me think the whole "stop at 10 movies" is even more likely, since this was apparently at the casting stage.
He always put it in a way where he wants some random person in the future picking out a movie at a video store (what are those?) to be able to pick out any of his films and feel like they're of similar quality. I don't think that's really the case with his output (Death Proof still gets a generally rough reception, doesn't seem to have improved with time), but that seems to be his governing principle.
He also has a weird little ageist thing where he thinks if you're too old of a director you automatically just can't keep up.
Wow, that's unexpected. Felt like this was finally starting to gain some steam.
QT gotta let this 10 movies thing go. Modern directors don't fall off like they used to, as long as they stay curious about the craft. Spielberg and Marty are cooking like they're in their primes. Maybe mess around in TV again for a bit. Do a paycheck franchise gig. Something! Anything!

This man is a weirdo, imagine getting cold feet at the last minute with essentially carte blanche because you have a "10 film rule", something nooooooo one gives a fuck about except himself and film nerds who heard about it lol.
Dude wasted his and everyone's time and assumes tomorrow is granted.

Ehhhhhhhh that just sounds like an excuse to make another movie, not really like a part of the story that needs telling.
His reasoning for only doing 10 films, is that it will preserve his legacy and filmography (as he believes most directors get past their prime and make bad films that tarnish their legacy), but I think it will have the opposite effect. He is one of the handful of directors in Hollywood right now that can get original projects made regularly with sizable budgets, and he's completely squandering his great fortune by throwing in the towel over a silly belief.
I just don't understand why Tarantino won't dictate his career the way I want him to?
Hell yeahLET'S FUCKING GO
People are assuming this is because Quentin Tarantino is somehow paralyzed by his own self imposed 10 movie restriction and not because it's just not a project he's passionate about or believes in any longer.
He wrote Vol 1 and 2 to lay the groundwork to give himself the option to do it 20 years later if he wanted to. Like who survived, the dialogue that The Bride said to Vernita's 4 year old daughter, etc. So while I agree with you, at least the idea isn't just arbitrary.
Here he is talking about it twenty (!) years ago:
