It was rumored that The Movie Critic would follow the journey of Pauline Kael, but it seems Tarantino decided to go in a different direction. He dropped some hints about this project while chatting with Deadline at the Cannes Film Festival last year, revealing it would center on a cynical movie critic who used to write reviews for an adult magazine.

The Movie Critic would be set in southern California during the 1970s, and Tarantino described its titular character as “a guy who really lived, but was never really famous”, adding his reviews were “a cross between early Howard Stern and what Travis Bickle might be if he were a film critic.”

Pitt previously collaborated with Tarantino on Inglourious Basterds and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, which won him an Academy Award for best supporting actor. He’ll next be seen in Jon Watts’s action thriller Wolfs alongside George Clooney and Joseph Kosinski’s untitled Formula 1 drama.

The untitled film will center on a veteran racer, who comes out of retirement to mentor a younger driver and take his final stab at glory on the track as the younger driver’s teammate. Apple landed the film in 2022 for a reported sum in the $130-$140 million range.

Kosinski will produce this project alongside Jerry Bruckheimer and Chad Oman of Jerry Bruckheimer Films, seven-time Formula 1 champion Lewis Hamilton via Dawn Apollo, and Pitt’s production company Plan B Entertainment.

According to Deadline, producers have been auditioning actors for Idris’ part since November, and he made the cut after proving he can handle the film’s intense driving scenes.

Damson Idris rose to prominence with the role on FX’s crime drama Snowfall, and he’s expanding his horizons as this series approaches its finale this month. He also made guest appearances on The Twilight Zone, Black Mirror, and Swarm, in addition to starring in movies Farming and Outside the Wire.

The official logline describes this film as an original epic set in 1920s Los Angeles and a tale of outsized ambition and outrageous excess, which traces the rise and fall of multiple characters during an era of unbridled decadence and depravity in early Hollywood.

Babylon is set during Hollywood’s big transition from silent films to talkies, and it centers on a young Mexican-American actor (played by newcomer Diego Calva) pursuing a career in 20s Hollywood, starting as an assistant and rising through the ranks.

In addition to Pitt, Robbie, and Calva, the star-studded cast of Babylon also includes Jovan Adepo, Li Jun Li, Jean Smart, P.J. Byrne, Lukas Haas, Tobey Maguire, Max Minghella, Katherine Waterston, Samara Weaving, and Olivia Wilde. The film focuses on a mixture of fictional and historical characters, including Pitt’s wild mega-star Jack Conrad and Robbie’s up-and-coming actress and party animal Nellie LaRoy.

Babylon will have its limited theatrical release on December 25, before expanding wide two weeks later.

GQ’s Ottessa Moshfegh writes that Pitt told her that “he’s trying to think carefully about what’s ahead, about the path that he wants to chart for the final stages of an abundantly creative career.”

“I consider myself on my last leg, this last semester or trimester. What is this section gonna be? And how do I wanna design that?” said the 58-year-old actor.

Pitt has been taking things slow on the acting front since 2019, when he finally won the first acting Oscar of his career for the role in Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time in… Hollywood. He returned to acting this year with a cameo in The Lost City alongside Sandra Bullock and Channing Tatum, and we’ll soon get to see him in The Bullet Train and Babylon.

Even if Pitt retires from acting, it’s highly unlikely that he’ll turn his back on the film industry completely. His production company Plan B is a major player in Hollywood, and it won Pitt his first Oscar as a producer for 12 Years a Slave.

The actors have starred together in several films, including the Ocean’s trilogy and Burn After Reading, and are known to be good friends off-screen.

The forthcoming project is said to be a thriller which will be directed by Jon Watts who recently helmed Spider-Man: Far From Home. He will produce alongside Pitt and Clooney who will star as the two leads.

While not much is known about the film, the Oscar winners are expected to play two lone wolf fixers assigned to do the same job. 

A bidding war for the production is reportedly underway between Sony, Lionsgate, Apple, Netflix, Amazon, Annapurna, Universal, MGM, and Warner Bros.

The event, which was an hour-long, took place on the Facebook page for Sean Penn’s nonprofit CORE (Community Organized Relief Effort) and LiveXLive as well as the criminal justice reform group Reform Alliance.

Dane Cook hosted and Freeman narrated the unrehearsed read of the coming-of-age-dramedy.

The event was originally scheduled for a month ago, but was delayed due to “technical difficulties” and the focus was on Pitt and Aniston performing together, 15 years following their divorce. Pitt voiced Judge Reinhold’s Brad Hamilton and Aniston played Phoebe Cates’ Linda Barrett. The pair even re-enacted the film’s swimsuit sequence and Freeman ad-libbed “Lord, have mercy.” 

Roberts voiced Stacy Hamilton, the perky younger sister of Brad Hamilton, LaBeouf played Penn’s iconic Jeff Spicoli character, Liotta played several scenes as Spicoli’s antagonist Mr. Hand, Legend voiced football star Charles Jefferson and his little brother, Golding played science teacher Mr. Vargas, McConaughey took on Mike Damone, Penn played Taylor Negron’s Pizza Guy, and Cook played Mark “Rat” Ratner.

The event attracted four million viewers and raised more than $135,000 for CORE and Reform Alliance.

The action-adventure film is based on Kotaro Isaka’s Japanese novel Maria Beetle and it will be directed by David Leitch from a script by Zak Olkewicz.

Plot details and character descriptions on Bullet Train haven’t been revealed and a date hasn’t been set for production. According to sources, King will play one of four leads opposite Pitt, with King being the only woman in the group.

King rose to fame after starring in Netflix’s 2018 teen romantic comedy franchise The Kissing Booth as Elle Evans, opposite Jacob Elordi and Joel Courtney. The second installment in the franchise debuted on July 26 and a third film will launch in 2021.

In addition to The Kissing Booth, King has also been in Crazy, Stupid, Love, The Dark Knight Rises, The Conjuring, White House Down, Independence Day: Resurgence, Wish Upon, and Slender Man. King starred in The Act, a true-crime drama series, which she received an Emmy nomination for.

Crowe’s first choice for the part of Russell Hammond, the lead guitarist of the fictional band Stillwater, was Brad Pitt.

“Brad Pitt was on my mind because I had a really good meeting with him around the time of Say Anything, and he was just starting out, and he just really had something,” said Crowe.

Another part that got its casting changed was Penny Lane, which was Kate Hudson’s breaking role. The part was first offered to Canadian actress Sarah Polley, who was much more well-known back then. In the end, Hudson went away with a Golden Globe for her role (and an Oscar nod).

Frances McDormand is another memorable actress from the film. She portrayed Elaine Miller, the mother of the protagonist, William Miller. The part was initially considered for the legendary Meryl Streep.

David Leitch, the director of Deadpool 2 and Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Snow, will direct the script which is based on the Japanese novel Maria Bettle by Kotaro Isaka.

The novel features five assassins that are on a fast-moving bullet train from Tokyo to Morioka with only a few stops between them. On the train, they find out that their missions aren’t related to each other. So, who will make it off the train alive, and what awaits them once they reach the terminal station?

Pitt recently won an Oscar for his role as Cliff Booth in Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and since then he’s been taking his time finding his next project. He can be seen in the James Gray sci-fi drama Ad Astra which was released in 2019. Pitt’s also set to co-star with Emma Stone in Babylon which will start production in 2021.

This is the first major role on TV for the oscar-nominated actor since he appeared in ABC’s The Young Riders at the end of the 1980s and beginning of the 1990s. The former Avengers villain is gearing up for a busy year as he will also be seen in Sean Penn’s Flag Day and Denis Villeneuve’s Dune. In addition, we will see him return to the part of Cable in X-Force, a spinoff for Deadpool. Brolin is also slated to reprise his role as Thanos in an animated Marvel’s What If?… series when it streams on Disney+ in 2021. 

Outer Range will follow Brolin as Royal Abbott — a rancher who comes across a mystery on his land in Wyoming. It is created by Brian Watkins and will be executive produced by Brad Pitt via Plan B Entertainment, Lethal Weapon’s Zev Borow and Frozen River’s Heather Rae alongside Brolin and Walkins. Plan B has recently signed a TV deal with Amazon. It is also behind the streamer’s upcoming event series, The Underground Railroad, directed by Moonlight’s Barry Jenkins.
