"Blood and Vinyl": Tarantino's Final Film Could Look Like This. And It's Pure Madness

Contents:
The final film in cult director Quentin Tarantino's career could have been "The Movie Critic," but the creator of Pulp Fiction scrapped the project.

Why Won't He Make It?

On The Church of Tarantino podcast, he explained that he doesn't want to repeat himself or get stuck in a familiar universe (The Movie Critic was supposed to unfold in the world of "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood").

For his final film, he's searching for something radically new — a story that'll be a loud, wild finale to his career. That's how "Blood and Vinyl" could've emerged — a criminal odyssey about an old gangster obsessed with collecting the rarest records. A bloody hunt unfolds over one record that could be worth millions, bringing together the mafia, corrupt cops, and small-time crooks.

We asked ChatGPT 5 to dream up the plot for final film. Here's what it came up with:

"Blood and Vinyl"

Late '70s, Los Angeles. Record store owner Jack Marlowe (Leonardo DiCaprio), a former guitarist from a failed band, accidentally gets his hands on a rare record by a mysterious '60s group. Legend says every owner died a strange death.

The hunt for the record begins. Among the contenders: satanic cult leader Vincent Graves (Cillian Murphy), who turns rock 'n' roll into religion; retired cop Frank Rawls (Samuel L. Jackson), obsessed with "cursed objects" and wanting to cash in big on the vinyl; and the mysterious killer "Cassette Boy" (Timothée Chalamet), who records victims' screams over pop hits.

They all randomly meet at a club one night. Long dialogues about music, bands, and of course, the record follow:
  • — If the record's worth a million, it better sound like a million, right?
  • — Hell, make it a billion! The main thing is finding an idiot who'll buy it.
  • — What if this music really does kill?
  • — Then the buyer'll definitely pay more. For an exclusive death.
Then the talk turns to paranoia, someone pulls a knife first, someone else a gun. A bloodbath begins in true Tarantino fashion.

The finale: the record finally gets put on the turntable. Music pours from the speakers as the characters die one by one. The last survivor laughs while bleeding out — and the needle gets stuck on a scratch, repeating the same sound over and over.

"Blood and Vinyl" would've been a striking farewell, but this is all just fan fiction. The real call belongs to Tarantino himself. And if his final work is still ahead, let it be without deadline pressure, exactly as he envisions it. After all, we've waited years for his films — we can wait for the last one too.
