Tarantino is looking for an actor in his thirties to star in his latest film

Among the multitude of celebrities who have attended the 76th edition of the Cannes Film Festival this year, the presence of Quentin Tarantino has been added today. The American filmmaker has been invited by the Filmmakers' Fortnight in a special meeting to chat with the public after the screening of a film that the Knoxville man kept secret and which turned out to be Rolling Thunder, by John Flynn.

A film to which he dedicates an extensive chapter in his first non-fiction book Memories of Cinema, which he presented last April in Barcelona as part of his world tour and in which he reviews the films of the seventies that he saw in the cinema and that would end up influencing his successful career.

According to Deadline, Tarantino is looking for the lead actor for his new and latest film, The Movie Critic, which will be set in 1977 California and will be about a film critic who actually existed and who wrote for a porn magazine. The 60-year-old director has stated that he wants an American interpreter who is in his thirties for the role and that he is looking for options.

Both Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt are too old for the character, who died drunk. "He will definitely be a new protagonist for me," he has said. The director of Once Upon a Time in...Hollywood also celebrates here that 29 years ago he won the Palme d'Or for Pulp Fiction.

Tarantino already assured in an interview with this newspaper that The movie critic was going to be his last work on the big screen "because directing no more films no longer motivates me." At first it was assumed that the plot would be about the veteran film critic Pauline Kael, but the director himself has already denied the rumor. The movie critic will be his tenth feature film and will start shooting next fall.

The author of Django Unchained prefers to spend more time with his family and writing, as he explained to La Vanguardia. "I'll probably write a book about '80s movies and at some point turn an original idea back into a novel, like I did with Once Upon a Time in...Hollywood."
