It is known that in 2024, Pitt will star in a film about “Formula-1” directed by Joseph Kosinski (“Top Gun: Maverick”). Here he will play a veteran racer who is retiring. So, if the agreement regarding “Kinokritika” is reached, the publication writes, filming will obviously begin no earlier than the middle of the year.

Earlier at the Cannes Film Festival, Tarantino said that his latest film was inspired by the story of a film critic from a porn magazine in the 70s. At the time, he stated that this author was a “second-rate critic” and focused mainly on “mainstream films”: “I think he was a very good critic. He was cynical as hell. His reviews were a cross between an early Howard Stern and what Travis Bickle might have been (the main character of the film “Taxi Driver” by Martin Scorsese – UP. Culture)if he were a film critic“.

However, in Cannes, the director tried to avoid the details of his latest film. “I can’t tell you [нічого], until you see the movie. I’m tempted to give a few character monologues right now, but I won’t… You’ll just have to wait and see“, he said then.

“I think this is a very purist point of view. This is the point of view of a cinephile who appreciates the history of cinema“, another cult director previously commented on his decision Christopher Nolan.
