Tarantino reportedly wanted to create a metaverse for “Film Critic.”

Director Quentin Tarantino wanted to create a metaverse in his 10th film, featuring actors and characters including a 16-year-old version of himself.

According to a report from The Hollywood Reporter, this Tarantino-verse was set in a fictional movie theater. The young Tarantino acts as a transmitter of the metaverse, interacting with the filmmaker's characters and the fictional actors who play them.

The metaverse works like a novel within a novel, the entire concept of which can be seen in a movie made in a movie theater in a movie theater. Unfortunately, Tarantino has gone on the record saying that the movie critic isn't happening.

This isn't the first time Tarantino's epic 10th film has fallen through the cracks. It was long expected that he would direct 10 films and then retire. One of his earlier projects, which was slated to be his final installment, was set in the Kill Bill universe and, according to Tarantino, would have avenged the daughter of a character whose main character was killed in the first two films.

Tarantino was meant to take a gritty, adult-oriented intellectual property from the film, which is closely related to the Star Trek films. That project was shelved, but reportedly because the director didn't want to end his work on a major franchise film.

It is unclear whether the proposed metaverse will continue for the film critic. So far, there is no confirmation of what Tarantino's 10th film will be, but Tarantino-number may exist outside the silver screen.

As Cointelegraph reported in 2022, Tarantino has previously worked with virtual tokens (NFTs) and Metaverse. He sold NFTs featuring “secrets” from his films, including uncut screenplays from Pulp Fiction.

It was subsequently sued by Miramax, which claimed to own copyright in the case. Miramax also claimed in the lawsuit that it was working on Tarantino-related NFTs on its own. Eventually, the two sides agreed to a settlement.
