Chris Pine is looking to make a deal to appear in ‘The Catch.’
He’d star opposite Emma Stone.
Universal is producing the new romantic comedy.
Now that Emma Stone has some free time beyond working with director Yorgos Lanthimos on their wild and weird movies, she’s locked down what seems likely to be her next project, a new romantic comedy called ‘The Catch.’
With Universal nabbing the rights to the eventual movie, the rom-com has ‘Brigsby Bear’ director Dave McCary aboard to call the shots, which makes us think this won’t be a straight forward tale of love and relationships.
While many movies with that title tend to chronicle the lives of fishermen, we don’t actually know whether this one will feature scenes set on a trawler (seems unlikely!)
All we really know beyond the rom-com genre is that Patrick Kang and Michael Levin wrote the script and that prolific producer Shawn Levy is among those shepherding it to screens.
Stone’s interest in making this her next movie means it should get moving quickly.
Where else can we see Chris Pine?
Chris Pine plays Edgin in ‘Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves’ from Paramount Pictures and eOne.
Pine is coming off strong reviews for ‘Carousel’, which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival back in January, and has a few other movies on the way, including action pic ‘Run the Night’, crime thriller ‘Nowhere Fast’ and sci-fi comedy ‘Alpha Gang’.

Set against the sun-bleached grit of Los Angeles, ‘Crime 101’ weaves the tale of an elusive jewel thief (Hemsworth) whose string of heists along the 101 freeway have mystified police. When he eyes the score of a lifetime, his path crosses that of a disillusioned insurance broker (Halle Berry) who is facing her own crossroads. Convinced he has found a pattern, a relentless detective (Mark Ruffalo) is closing in, raising the stakes even higher. As the heist approaches, the line between hunter and hunted begins to blur, and all three are faced with life-defining choices–and the realization that there can be no turning back.

Arriving on Paramount+ on January 15 with its first two episodes (followed by one episode weekly) is the first season of ‘Star Trek: Starfleet Academy,’ the latest attempt to extend the venerable sci-fi franchise to places where no one has gone before.

Exploring student lives at Starfleet Academy has been a project mooted for years but which never quite came about.
Now, Alex Kurtzman and the current TV ‘Star Trek’ team (Gaia Violo created the series alongside Noga Landau and Kurtzman) have finally managed it, setting the show in the far, far future as explored by ‘Star Trek: Discovery’s later seasons, in a time when the Federation and other space-going organizations are still recovering after the “Burn”, which killed billions and all but ended warp drive travel.
It’s designed as a blend of YA archetypes, with younger characters still finding themselves and a healthy dollop of ‘Star Trek’s moral philosophy, albeit with the harder edge of the Paramount+ series.
Script and Direction

Kurtzman, Viola and Landau have pulled off quite the trick here –– the combination of fairly different approaches could have been as problematic as mixing matter and antimatter, but here it largely works.
Yes, some of the storylines are burdened with cliches (the bitter loner with a tough past who finds a family among his fellow students! The non-human character learning about humanity! The hard-charging jock/rich boy who seems smug and annoying but has some depth!) and the show’s deep dive into ‘Trek’ history can come across as pandering in a way that ‘Lower Decks’ never did, but once the series starts to find its feet, it turns into something watchable, and one episode early in the run that explores the potential fate of a familiar character from a previous series (no spoilers here), is even effective and affecting.
Cast and Performances

While the main focus is on the younger characters, it’s the veterans who really impress. Hunter’s fantastic as the long-lived chancellor/captain, forever curling up in command chairs or padding around the Academy barefoot.
When she’s facing off against Giamatti’s half-Klingon/half Tellurite piratical troublemaker, the air crackles with energy.
As for the younger cast, they’re good –– Kerrice Brooks brings truly fun energy as SAM, the “photonic” (read: holographic being) who was created four months before the series starts but is designed to act as a 17-year-old, hoovering up knowledge and interactions.
Meanwhile, Robert Picardo is still supremely fastidious and officious as The Doctor, but has found new levels of humanity to play.
Final Thoughts

Like any youngster finding its way in the world, the new show stumbles a little before it really takes off, but should find a home with both those who enjoy the current ‘Trek’ output (there are humor levels that sometimes rival ‘Strange New Worlds’) and even fans of the various older series.
Plus, with Season 2 in the works, at least you know it’s worth heading back to the final frontier…
‘Star Trek: Starfleet Academy’ Season 1 receives 78 out of 100.

What’s the plot of ‘Star Trek: Starfleet Academy’ Season 1?
The new series introduces viewers to a young group of cadets who come together to pursue a common dream of hope and optimism.
Under the watchful and demanding eyes of their instructors, they discover what it takes to become Starfleet officers as they navigate blossoming friendships, explosive rivalries, first loves and a new enemy that threatens both the Academy and the Federation itself.

John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein are developing a new ‘Star Trek’ Movie.
They’ve come up with a new idea not connected to previous movies or shows.
They’re also writing the script.
While the TV side of the franchise has been ticking along nicely, big-screen ‘Star Trek’ fell into something of a black hole, with little progress towards theaters.
At least, they’re aboard to develop a new movie (more on that below), with the hopes of kickstarting the franchise back to life. Will they succeed? Others have tried and failed (again, see below), but we’re certainly hoping to see them give it a shot.
What has been happening with big-screen ‘Star Trek’?
(L to R) Karl Urban and Zachary Quinto in ‘Star Trek Beyond’. Photo: Paramount Pictures.
The movies have been mired in development limbo since ‘Star Trek Beyond’ opened to less-than-thrilling box office in 2016.
There have been various films announced or reported upon, including a return for Chris Pine’s Kirk and co. from J.J. Abrams’ “Kelvin” timeline movies, a one-off by Quentin Tarantino (which always seemed less likely to happen) and the more recent word of a prequel/origin story to be directed by ‘Andor’s Toby Haynes with a script by Seth Grahame-Smith.
The latter may still happen (with Paramount going on a “try anything” spree), but there was more recent word of ‘X-Men’ veteran Simon Kinberg being hired as the producer overseeing the whole thing. There’s no mention of him in Deadline’s story about Daley and Goldstein’s deal, but perhaps he will be around to help out?
What’s the story for this latest ‘Trek’ development?

Little is known about what Daley and Goldstein have planned for ‘Star Trek’, though new Paramount overseer David Ellison said on a recent earnings call that it would not be a sequel in the Pine-led series but something different with new actors.
Which is almost a shame, since Pine clearly enjoyed working with the directors on ‘Dungeons & Dragons’…
When will this new ‘Star Trek’ movie head to screens?
If you’ll pardon us, given recent history we won’t hold our breath just yet until this thing actually has a trailer.

‘Star Trek: Strange New Worlds’ Season 3 receives 8 out of 10 stars.
Arriving on Paramount+ on July 17th with the first two episodes (and eight more landing weekly), ‘Star Trek: Strange New Worlds’ launches its third season, once more starring Anson Mount (‘Non-Stop’) as Captain Christopher Pike, leading the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise on new adventures.

‘Star Trek: Strange New Worlds’ has established its own particular style. Largely episodic (with some linked episodes and nods to ongoing storylines here and there, organically incorporated) it has also become known as the ‘Trek’ show that really, boldly goes where no one has gone before.
By that, we mean the show has displayed incredible narrative flexibility; one minute it’s a traditional space adventure, thrusting the crew into a desperate situation against dangerous aliens, the next it’s a musical. And while other series in the long canon of this venerable franchise have had their fun –– take ‘Star Trek: The Next Generation’s occasional visits to the holodeck or the machinations of the mischievous, all-powerful Q –– ‘Strange New Worlds’ doesn’t usually need much of an excuse to break out of the usual format.
The most surprising thing? It almost always works, so the biggest challenge facing the creative team in the third season is keeping that balance intact.
Script and Direction

Fortunately, we’re pleased to report that Season 3 maintains the same level of playfulness and drama that audiences have come to enjoy about the show. Showrunners Akiva Goldsman and Henry Alonso Myers pick up the cliffhanger from last season’s finale ‘Hegemony’ with kidnapped crew members and the Enterprise under devastating attack from the devious, reptilian Gorn (a far cry from the man-in-rubber-suit combat as shown in the original ‘Star Trek’).
Kicking off with high drama, the initial episode offers all the twists and turns you might hope for, our valiant crew figuring out how to fight back against their violent enemies. And leaving at least one plot thread dangling through the season to be dealt with later. Again, this is handled in such smooth fashion that you’re happy to see them leaving some storylines to be dealt with down the line.

Other episodes, such as ‘Shuttle to Kenfori’ offer welcome digs into the pasts and private lives of characters including Dr. M’Benga (Babs Olusanmokun), while ‘A Space Adventure Hour,’ featuring the first appearance (in ‘Trek lore, at least) of a technology familiar to ‘Next Generation’ fans, is a familiar piece of format tinkering layered with loving nods to the 1960s wellspring.
Stylistically, the show continues to look great, cinematic and impressive, and welcoming back the likes of ‘Trek’ veteran Jonathan Frakes behind the camera, resulting in a healthy combination of cinematography and attention to the cast’s easy chemistry.
Cast and Performances

The bonhomie between this crew can’t be understated –– they’re a team that has really found its gear, and even with huge stakes surrounding them, there’s space for a lightness of touch and real humor.
Anson Mount continues to be the (usually) calm and steady presence as a leading man and ship’s captain, commanding his crew in a way that Kirk, Picard or even Sisko and Janeway could never dream of trying, but always there in a pinch.
Rebecca Romijn’s Number One doesn’t get as much of a showcase in the episodes provided to the press, but she’s still a welcome, dryly funny presence.
Ethan Peck’s Spock does enjoy some focus, particularly in a funny, whimsical episode early in the season (‘Wedding Bell Blues’) confronting his evolving feelings for a crewmate and potentially finding a new connection.
Jess Bush is still on great form as Nurse Christine Chapel, bringing something more to the character than the original series had time for.
Melissa Navia as Erica Ortegas in season 3 , Episode 7 of ‘Strange New Worlds’ streaming on Paramount+. Photo: Marni Grossman/Paramount+.
If there’s a complaint to be made, it’s that there’s really enough from Carol Kane’s offbeat chief engineer Pelia, as she’s always entertaining when she’s on screen.
Around the main cast, there are some welcome new faces (including one guest star whose name and character we won’t spoil that has a deep cut link to an existing ‘Trek’ character) and recent recruit Martin Quinn as Lt. Montgomery “Scotty” Scott, who gives a performance that honors James Doohan while also existing as its own creation.
Final Thoughts

Taking the “if it ain’t broke” approach has worked for ‘Star Trek: Strange New Worlds.’
Assuming the remaining five episodes of the new season don’t fall off a cliff creatively speaking, this new season is a welcome addition to one of the best shows in modern ‘Star Trek’ history.

In Season 3, when we reconnect with the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise, still under the command of Captain Pike, they face the conclusion of season two’s harrowing encounter with the Gorn.
But new life and civilizations await, including a villain that will test our characters’ grit and resolve…

Chris Pine will star in ‘Run the Night.’
He’ll play a man who is accused of crossing Dutch mobsters.
Robert Alonzo is directing the movie.
It feels like a couple of years since we’ve seen Chris Pine on our screens. And indeed, it has been –– see the section on his recent career below.
sqxY21EjyFcyMtFcYqOUG3
But if Pine has anything to do with it, the lack of him in movie theaters could be coming to an end sooner rather than later.
According to Variety, he’s attached to a new thriller called ‘Run the Night,’ which will find him as someone who gets in deep with the Dutch mob (yes, there is a Dutch mob and we don’t mean the Pennsylvania Dutch) and ends up having to fight to protect his family.
Which does make us wonder when he’ll be available to shoot this new movie, since we can’t imagine ‘Doomsday’ will be a short production span. Still, Pine has other work to get on with while he waits.
This new thriller comes from Todd Lieberman of Hidden Pictures, who will produce alongside his company’s president Alex Young, while Pine and Ian Gotler will be involved behind the scenes via their Barry Linen banner. Lionsgate has snapped up international rights.
The new movie follows a banker (Pine), accused of betraying the Penose (the Dutch mob), who is dumped naked in the heart of Amsterdam with a $10 million bounty on his head.
Hunted by the city’s most violent gangs, he must fight his way across the city by dawn to save the lives of his wife and child — a mission that reveals he was never just the money guy.
John Glenn and Alex Davidson, wrote the script, based on a story by Glenn. The former has worked on the likes ofJohn Glenn ‘Eagle Eye’ and 2008’s ‘The Lazarus Project,’ which he also directed. And he’s currently the executive producer of Lionsgate Television’s new ‘Robin Hood’ series.
Davidson, meanwhile, has one other credit, an untitled project in development about Peter Buckley, the most losing boxer in history.

Here’s Pine’s comment on making the new movie, which will see him reunite with Alonzo after the latter handled second unit on 2009’s ‘Star Trek’:
“I love this story, character, and reuniting with Rob. There are so many places for this character to go, and I’m excited about the possibilities of bringing him to life on the big screen.”
And this is what Lionsgate’s Adam Fogelson had to say about the new project:
“Chris is an incredible actor and has the perfect combination of warmth and physicality needed to bring this role to life. We’re proud to be the home of Todd Lieberman’s Hidden Pictures and to be partnering with him and the exceptionally talented filmmaking team on this riveting and explosive action thriller.”
Finally, producer (and Hidden Pictures boss) Todd Lieberman said this:
“Rob Alonzo is the next great action director. With Rob’s talent behind the camera and our movie star Chris in front, I’m excited by what we have in store for audiences.”
Where else can we see Chris Pine?
Chris Pine plays Edgin in ‘Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves’ from Paramount Pictures and eOne.
Pine, who might still be best known for his role as Captain Kirk in the aforementioned ‘Star Trek’ and its sequels, had a busy 2023.
He voiced the villainous Magnifico in Disney’s animated ‘Wish,’ won plenty of praise playing the misunderstood Edgin in ‘Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves’ and made his own directorial debut with quirky comedy drama ‘Poolman’ which if we’re being charitable didn’t exactly win over critics or audiences.
The actor worked on director Carolina Cavalli’s ‘The Kidnapping of Arabella,’ which also features Benedetta Porcaroli, though that has yet to lock down a release date.
Beyond that (and ‘Run the Night’) he has a few movies on his To Do list, including the long-developing new entry in the ‘Star Trek’ franchise.
He’s also in the cast list for Noah Hawley’s new crime thriller ‘Nowhere Fast,’ about a small-town criminal who inadvertently kills the nephew of his boss.
When will ‘Run the Night’ be in theaters?
Since production company Hidden Pictures and international rights holders Lionsgate will put the movie up for sale to prospective distributors at this year’s Cannes Market, we’ll have to wait and see when it might land on screens.

Preview:
Chris Pine is to lead ‘Nowhere Fast.’
He’ll play a small-time crook in the new thriller.
‘Fargo’ boss Noah Hawley is writing and directing the movie.
Chris Pine, it would appear loves a good Texas-set crime thriller where characters get in over their heads in a dangerous situation.
He played a desperate rancher-turned-bank robber in 2016’s ‘Hell or High Water’ and, per Variety, now he’s landed the lead role of a small-time crook in new thriller ‘Nowhere Fast.’

And there are further connections beyond the locale and the (relatively) recent time period –– while the 2016 effort was scripted by Taylor Sheridan, currently the overlord of rugged television thanks to his ever-expanding ‘Yellowstone’ franchise and other projects, this new film comes via Noah Hawley, no stranger to small screen success himself thanks to ‘Fargo’ and ‘Legion.’
And ‘Nowhere Fast’ certainly feels fairly locked into Pine’s wheelhouse –– while he has done some bigger movies, he’s often found in smaller titles that give him a chance to stretch himself.

With Hawley writing and aiming to direct, the film will follow a criminal who inadvertently kills the nephew of his boss in Texas.
Sounds to us like Pine will be a man with a decent core who has turn to crime and ends up confronting, the arrogant, violent spawn of his overseer. Isn’t that usually how these things end up going? Plus he might try to get away, but the movie’s title suggest he won’t have too much luck.
Hawley will also produce via his 26 Keys Productions with the funding coming from 30West, which financed Pine’s ‘The Contractor,’ looking to co-represent the U.S. rights for ‘Nowhere Fast’ alongside CAA Media Finance. AGC International, the international sales arm of independent studio AGC Studios, will represent the foreign rights.
What else is Chris Pine attached to?

Pine has been somewhat quiet in the last year –– his only efforts recently have been a BMW ad and narration duties on an upcoming short about birds.
Before that he impressed as the seemingly benevolent-but-secretly-scheming king in Disney’s ‘Wish’ (which didn’t exactly set the box office aflame) and also tried his hand at writing and directing himself in the poorly-received ‘Poolman.’
Currently, the actor is at work on a new drama called ‘The Kidnapping of Arabella’ about an Italian woman named Holly who is convinced she’s the wrong version of herself until meeting a 7-year-old girl changes her perspective. That one is written and directed by Carolina Cavalli.
But perhaps what most fans want to know is whether Pine will finally return alongside his castmates for another ‘Star Trek’ movie set in the “Kelvin Timeline” established by J.J. Abrams’ 2009 reboot of the classic sci-fi show in big screen form.
When asked by Business Insider about the status of it, Pine had this to say:
“I honestly don’t know. There was something in the news of a new writer coming on board. I thought there was already a script, but I guess I was wrong, or they decided to pivot. As it’s always been with ‘Trek,’ I just wait and see.”
The fourth ‘Trek’ outing with Pine and co. is listed as in pre-production on the IMDb, but like them, we’ll have to see if that pans out into an actual movie.
You might wonder how Hawley has time for a movie project given how much TV work he’s involved with. While it’s certainly less than Sheridan’s sprawling empire, it’s not nothing.
In addition to the ongoing crime calamities of ‘Fargo’ (inspired, of course, by the Coenbrothersclassic and using an anthology format per season with the occasional link to tell stories of bungled robberies etc.), he’s also been busy overseeing an ambitious extension of another franchise.
This summer will see the launch of his new FX/Hulu series ‘Alien: Earth,’ which is set closer to the present day than any of the movies about rampaging xenomorphs.

With ‘Alien’ director (and franchise gatekeeper) Ridley Scott giving the project his endorsement as an executive producer the new show tracks what happens when a mysterious space vessel crash-lands on Earth. A young woman and a ragtag group of tactical soldiers make a fateful discovery that puts them face-to-face with the planet’s greatest threat.
“There’s something about seeing a Xenomorph in the wilds of Earth with your own eyes. That is truly chilling to think of it moving here among us, and so I can’t tell you under what circumstances you’ll see that, but you’ll see it — and you’re going to lock your door that night.”
When will ‘Nowhere Fast’ be in theaters?
With the movie still at the casting stage and rights on sale, there is no word yet on when this new crime thriller might be making its way to theaters.
We’d guess it could start shooting –– even given Hawley’s packed schedule –– this year and could potentially be out by awards season, but seems more likely to arrive in 2026.

‘Star Trek: Section 31’ receives 7 out of 10 stars.
Premiering on Paramount+ on January 24th, ‘Star Trek: Section 31’ represents the first ‘Star Trek’ movie produced –– even if it does carry the qualifier of “TV Movie” –– since 2016’s ‘Star Trek: Beyond.’ Which tells you something about the moribund development levels of big screen ‘Trek.’
Instead, it has been left up to the likes of executive producer/overseer Alex Kurtzman to fly the Federation flag on the small screen instead. And ‘Section 31’ marks the first feature-length spin-off from the various series (in this case, ‘Star Trek: Discovery,’ which launched the current televisual incarnation back in 2017 and wrapped up last year). The big question of course is, was it worth taking one of the characters and giving them a showcase?
Will ‘Star Trek: Section 31’ beam your interest aboard?

‘Section 31’ does go some way to answering the question as to whether the current ‘Trek’ TV galaxy can generate solid enough ideas to work as movies, even if this first one does make its debut on the small screen via Paramount’s streaming service. That’s not a knock on the film, and while it might not have the scope and sheen of, say, a Nicholas Meyer movie or something from J.J. Abrams’ lens flare-inflected productions, it’s a burst of knockabout entertainment with solid character work and a tone that veers more towards ‘Mission: Impossible’ than classic ‘Star Trek.’
Indeed, there are ideas and developments here that might have given series creator Gene Roddenberry a conniption fit, even if his show did introduce the concept of the dark mirror universe for ‘Trek,’ playing with the principle years before Marvel and co.’s big-screen multiverses.
And keeping things mostly outside of Federation space means that there’s plenty of latitude for morally ambiguous types to band together for a higher calling. It also doesn’t hurt that it also allows for Michelle Yeoh, who hasn’t had a showcase like this since ‘Everything Everywhere All at Once’ to show her stuff not just as a dramatic actor but also someone who –– with support from the stunt team –– has the action chops.
Script and Direction

Written by Craig Sweeny from a story originated by Bo Yeon Kim and Erika Lippoldt (all three have experience working on ‘Discovery’), ‘Section 31’ is a darkly humorous chunk of action that also has a few solid ideas at its core, not the least of which is the moral choices of its lead characters.
Not only that, but it lets Yeoh cut loose as Georgiou, fully leaning into the idea of someone who will do anything to achieve her aims (up to and including killing people), but also realizes the weight of her past, particularly when it rudely intrudes on her present gig as an undercover (well, mostly undercover) crime boss.
The script falls into some identifiable traps in places as it has to catch those who didn’t watch much of ‘Discovery’ up on who Georgiou is and how she fits into the mythology, and one or two of the reveals/surprises are signposted in places (if you believe the entire team makes it to the end credits, you’ve clearly never watched anything in this genre). But overall, it works.
Fellow ‘Discovery’ veteran Olatunde Osunsanmi, meanwhile, directs with a light touch, throwing in some visual panache where possible and keeping the tone fun while also delivering on the bigger themes.
‘Star Trek: Section 31’: Performances
With Yeoh the natural focus (and enjoying the spotlight), the movie nevertheless builds some quirky characters around her.

It says something that Yeoh, who these days has an Oscar on her mantle (for ‘Everything Everywhere’), opted to return for more from Georgiou, the conniving, crafty and imperious former ruler of the Terran Empire, who these days slums it working for the ethically questionable secret side of Starfleet. Yeoh brings power and spark to the lead role, bouncing well off the others and delivering some lines with just the right level of acid sarcasm.

Hardwick is sometimes lumbered with playing more of the straight arrow to Yeoh’s character, but he’s also handed enough of a dark past to keep Sahar from feeling stale.

A comedic veteran of the likes of ‘Veep,’ ‘Detroiters’ and ‘Ted Lasso,’ Richardson is the shapeshifting Quasi, and part of the bickering team of operatives dispatched to initially track down Georgiou and convince her to help them stop a major problem.
Richardson’s role is tailored towards his particular brand of nervy, empathetic comedy and he does his usual sterling job as a supporting player.

A mech-head a little too connected to his own technology, Zeph is the brawn of the team, and ‘Pacific Rim’s Kazinsky was a good choice for the role. He can play blustery but also vulnerable when needed and Zeph is a great blend of the two.

One of the little elements of fan service (though they never get in the way of the narrative), Rohl’s character is the future Starfleet captain ‘Star Trek: The Next Generation’ fans will know from classic episode ‘Yesterday’s Enterprise.’ Here, she’s younger, but her straight-laced energy (until another side is unleashed) compliments the rest of the team’s wilder ways.

Perhaps the most fascinating character of the bunch, Fuzz is actually something we won’t spoil here. A Vulcan first glimpsed laughing like he’s a Romulan, he’s one of the cleverer inventions for this new movie, and Ruygrok brings a great energy to him.
Final Thoughts

Will ‘Star Trek: Section 31’ prove there is life in the TV side of the galaxy besides the ongoing series (new ones are on the way, but ‘Strange New Worlds’ is the only current ongoing concern)? It certainly has a vitality and an attitude to it, but it remains to be seen if it’s embraced by fans.
If nothing else, we got another chance to see Michelle Yeoh be a snarky badass.

What’s the plot of ‘Star Trek: Section 31’?
Michelle Yeoh returns as Emperor Philippa Georgiou –– a character she played in ‘Star Trek: Discovery’ –– who joins a secret division of Starfleet.
Tasked with protecting the United Federation of Planets, she also must face the sins of her past.
On a recent interview for Bill Maher’s Club Random podcast, Tarantino opened up on a variety of subjects, including what he sees as “misinformation” about movies he’d been considering. Oh, and in a very grumpy old man style, he also talked ‘Toy Story’ of all things.

Though chatter began back in 2017 about Tarantino conceiving and potentially directing a ‘Star Trek’ movie for Paramount, the seemingly endless churn of development and lack of a clear plan for the franchise’s future seemingly scuttled his ambitions.
This is what he said on the subject and the wider topic of misinformation about what he’s up to:
“Well, it’s never going to happen, but there has been so much misinformation about what it was going to be, nothing but misinformation. Because I’m not on Instagram and social media, consequently, if you’re Joe Schlomoko and you’re a transient reporter of some kind, if you hear Quentin is going to do a ‘Star Trek’ film or ‘The Movie Critic’ or anything, it’s a lot like that guy who wrote that Howard Hughes biography that ended up being a hoax.”
Quentin Tarantino on ‘The Movie Critic’

Another topic widely reported was his plan to make his “final” film, and for a while it looked like it would be ‘The Movie Critic’, based around a writer the younger Tarantino used to read, who reviewed regular films in an adult magazine.
Speculation swirled around casting, including mentions of Tom Cruise being involved, Brad Pitt’s Cliff Booth character from ‘Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood’ and Paul Walter Hauser playing the critic.
Here’s the director dismissing those ideas:
“They can say anything. ‘Quentin is going to cast Tom Cruise, it’s for sure. The thing that was kind of funny about ‘The Movie Critic’ that I was going to cast Paul Walter Hauser… they just think he looks like a critic, so that’s why they picked him!”
Quentin Tarantino on future endeavors

So with the opportunity to talk openly about anything he wanted, he was also quizzed about what he wants to do next.
And from the sounds of it, the idea that he’ll be making his tenth –– and, according to the man himself –– final movie, could be further off than we thought.
Here’s his mention of theater musings:
“I’m leaning more towards writing— or trying for a while—theater. And in theater, it would be funny stuff.”
According to Tarantino, he’s also considering mining his past for theatrical shows, with an idea to turn his expanded novelizations of his movies into potential stage productions.
Quentin Tarantino on ‘Toy Story’
(L to R) Woody (Tom Hanks) and Buzz Lightyear (Tim Allen) in Pixar Animation Studios’ ‘Toy Story.’
Finally, and most surprisingly, the filmmaker turned his attention to Pixar’s most famous franchise, and his love for the trilogy starring Buzz, Woody and the gang.
This is what he said:
“In the case of ‘Toy Story,’ the third one is just magnificent. It’s one of the best movies I’ve ever seen. And if you’ve seen the other two, it’s just devastating. But the thing is, then three years later or something, they did a fourth. I have no desire to see it. You literally ended the story as perfect as you could, so no, I don’t care if it’s good. I’m done.”
Sssh… Nobody tell him about ‘Toy Story 5’, due in theaters in 2026!
