One Last Time: Bruce Willis, Retired with Dementia, May Appear in Quentin Tarantino's Last Movie

It’s a well-known fact that Quentin Tarantino wants to end his career with his tenth movie. The director, unlike some of his colleagues (Martin Scorsese, per se), wants to leave the industry with a stellar and unmarked reputation. By far, he’s been succeeding in this quest — and now, he only has one final film to make before he’s done.

For now, all we know about Tarantino’s last movie is its name — The Movie Critic — and that it will be set in 1977. Admittedly, the director wants to use his final entry to reflect on the brilliant run he’s had in Hollywood throughout the years, as well as the industry as a whole — and make a statement both for himself and his colleagues.

While nothing else is known about The Movie Critic, a peculiar rumor recently appeared: reportedly, Quentin Tarantino wants Bruce Willis to take on “a small role” in his final movie. If this rumor is true, this is more than just the director’s whim.

Bruce Willis and Quentin Tarantino go way back: the two Hollywood legends worked together on the director’s most iconic movie, 1994’s Pulp Fiction. Willis was one of the lead actors, playing the role of Butch, a stubborn box fighter that refuses to give up a fight despite being bribed by a notorious criminal for that.

Soon after Pulp Fiction, it was Tarantino who appeared in Bruce Willis’s segment of Four Rooms in 1995, so it’s safe to assume that, despite their careers developing independently since then, the two men quite enjoyed working together.

If Bruce Willis makes an appearance in Quentin Tarantino’s last movie, it will make The Movie Critic the proper sendoff it apparently needs to be. The grand finale for an iconic actor and a legendary director would immediately become a classic in its own right, drawing the conclusion of yet another age of Hollywood’s finest.
