Quentin Tarantino recreating 70s movies for his final film The Movie Critic, says Paul Schrader

May 22, 2023 by EJ Moreno

While Quentin Tarantino is infamously quiet about his films before release, fellow filmmaker Paul Schrader is far from quiet.

Schrader recently dished about Tarantino’s upcoming tenth and rumored final film, spilling new details on how far to ensure The Movie Critic is an epic spectacle for cinephiles.

Paul Schrader tells Indiewire that the Pulp Fiction director wants to recreate older movie scenes in The Movie Critic, as he did for Once Upon A Time In Hollywood.

Schrader spills, “May have changed – but about a month ago, he was making a film had something to do with filmmaking in the ’70s. And part of this, he’s going to use clips from movies from the ’70s, but he’s also gonna remake movies from the ’70s. And he asked me, ‘Can I redo the ending of Rolling Thunder?’ And I said, ‘Yeah, go for it. I’d love to see you redo the ending of Rolling Thunder.’ Who knows whether he actually will or not? But it was something that was tickling his imagination in a very Tarantino-esque way.”

Tarantino is working on his tenth film, The Movie Critic. While many believe that legendary New Yorker critic Pauline Kael may have inspired the 1970s-set movie, the filmmaker has denied those claims.

Paul Schrader is currently promoting his latest film, Master Gardener, and you can read our 

MASTER GARDENER follows Narvel Roth (award-winner Joel Edgerton), the meticulous horticulturist of Gracewood Gardens. He is as much devoted to tending the grounds of this beautiful and historic estate, to pandering to his employer, the wealthy dowager Mrs. Haverhill (three-time Academy Award® nominee Sigourney Weaver). When Mrs. Haverhill demands that he take on her wayward and troubled great-niece Maya (Quintessa Swindell) as a new apprentice, chaos enters Narvel’s spartan existence, unlocking dark secrets from a buried violent past that threaten them all.

Master Gardener arrives in cinemas on May 19th in the US and on May 26th in the UK.
