Last year, Tarantino revealed to Deadline that the film was based on a real person. "It's based on a guy who really lived, but was never really famous, and he used to write movie reviews for a porno rag.” "The porno rag critic was very, very funny. He was very rude, you know. He cursed. He used racial slurs. But his s**t was really funny. He was as rude as hell.” At the time, he told the publication that all of his frequent collaborators, such as Pitt and Leonardo DiCaprio, were too old for the part. ”I haven't decided yet but it's going to be somebody in the 35-year-old ballpark. It'll definitely be a new leading man for me.” It is unclear if Pitt will play the title character. The 60-year-old, who won a Best Supporting Actor Oscar for Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.
