Quentin Tarantino is still trying to make a final decision on how he will conclude his film career with one last feature film. He was working on a project called The film critic before it was reported in April that he had abandoned the film shortly before shooting began.
In a new interview with Bill Maher Club Random Podcast, Tarantino debunked the casting rumors that had previously been circulating The film critic was put on hold. Previously, names like Tom Cruise and Paul Walter Hauser had surfaced as actors Tarantino had in mind for the title role. Tarantino clarified that none of these rumors were true, as part of a tirade about how the media often prints misinformation about his projects. He began by claiming that “nothing” had been said about his discarded Star Trek Film was right before you get into The film critic Rumors.
“That will never happen,” Tarantino first said about the Star Trek film. “There was so much misinformation about what it was going to be. I mean, nothing but misinformation.”
There was so much misinformation about what it was going to be.
Tarantino explained that he does not have a presence on social media, which he believes greatly contributes to the spread of misinformation about his work. Because he is not online to clear up such rumors when they arise, reporters sometimes report rumors as if they were fact.
Tarantino explained: “Consequently… if you’re some sort of casual celebrity reporter, OK, when you hear that Quentin has a Star Trek Film, or Quentin will make a film called The film criticor Quentin will do everything he can… the thing is, they can say anything. “Oh, Quentin will cast Tom Cruise, that’s for sure, Quentin will cast Tom Cruise as The film critic.’ Or: ‘Quentin will cast Tom Cruise as Captain Kirk.'”
Quentin Tarantino was amused by the rumor about Paul Walter Hauser
“The thing was kind of funny about The film criticthey said I would cast the actor Paul Walter Hauser,” Tarantino said, reminding Maher how Hauser had Richard Jewell“But the funny thing was, I think they just think he looks like a critic. That’s why they chose him. But what I’m saying is that they write it in Showbiz Daily or something and then it gets picked up in 140 pieces. I’m not going to dismiss that because I don’t have all the connections (on social media). then it is simply reported as if it were true. That’s for a few weeks because nobody knows better because I don’t inform them.”
So far, Tarantino has not announced what his last film will be after the abolition The film criticNow that he’s finally moving forward with the project, fans may be better off waiting for official announcements before believing any casting rumors floating around the internet.
