For a new film, director Quentin Tarantino planned to use actors and characters from his back catalog in a metaverse.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, this Tarantino-verse would have occurred in a fictional movie theater. In his role as the curator of the metaverse, young Tarantino would have interacted with the characters created by the filmmaker and the fictional actors who played them.
The Movie Critic’s depiction of the metaverse as a movie set in a theater suggests that the metaverse might have functioned as a sub-fiction inside a sub-fiction. Unfortunately, Tarantino has released an official statement refuting the existence of The Movie Critic.
The fabled tenth picture directed by Quentin Tarantino has not yet materialized. He had always thought he would step down as director after ten movies.
According to Tarantino, one of the earliest films he planned to finish was set in the Kill Bill universe and would have followed the daughter of a character killed by the main character in the first two films as she returns to seek revenge.
According to reports, Tarantino was also closely involved with a Star Trek movie that was supposed to be a sad, adult-oriented interpretation of the property. The director reportedly gave up his plan to wrap up his career with a hefty franchise movie.
What will happen to the metaverse that The Movie Critic had imagined still needs to be determined. The tenth picture, directed by Quentin Tarantino, is still a mystery, but the Tarantino verse might reach beyond the big screen.
A report from 2022 claims that Tarantino has already dabbled with the metaverse and nonfungible tokens (NFTs). He sold NFTs that included “secrets” from his movies, such as uncut screenplay scenes from Pulp Fiction.
The next day, claiming to be the legitimate owner of the in question intellectual property, Miramax sued him. In the complaint, Miramax revealed that it had been working on NFTs about Quentin Tarantino. Finally, the parties settled.
A Tarantinoverse could provide fans with a comprehensive and cross-genre experience, considering his wide and varied career. He rewrote the Charles Manson murders in his 2019 alternate history tale Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and made a brief cameo appearance as an Elvis impersonator on the 1980s television series Golden Girls.
