Quentin Tarantino reveals ‘The Movie Critic’ is about a “porno rag” journalist
nme.comQuentin Tarantino has revealed that his new film, The Movie Critic, will be about a “porno rag” journalist.Speaking to Deadline, the director said that the upcoming project will go into “pre-pre-production” this June, and that he’s currently looking for an actor around the age of 35 to play the lead.Tarantino said that the film – which will be set in 1977 Southern California – will be based on a real-life movie critic for a pornographic magazine, which the director used to read when he was growing up and working as a vending machine re-stocker.“All the other stuff was too skanky to read but then there was this porno rag that had a really interesting movie page,” Tarantino recalled of reading the magazine as a teenager.“He wrote about mainstream movies and he was the second-string critic.
