Quentin Tarantino Developing Django, Zorro Crossover Movie



Acclaimed filmmaker Quentin Tarantino is developing a sequel to his film Django Unchained, based on a comic book miniseries that teamed Django with Zorro. The screenplay will be co-written by Tarantino with Jerrod Carmichael, best known for his acting work on projects like Neighbors and The Disaster Artist, and for his work both in front of the camera and behind the scenes on The Carmichael Show. Written by Tarantino with veteran comics creator Matt Wagner, Django/Zorro was jointly released by DC and Dynamite Entertainment. While Dynamite currently publishes comics based on Zorro, DC had teamed with Tarantino and his publishing partner Reginald Hudlin to adapt the original Django Unchained screenplay into comics for DC.

Word of the project first surfaced in the wake of the 2014 Sony hack, which revealed several email exchanges between Tarantino and then-Sony boss Amy Pascal. One email from Tarantino read, “D/Z could be really fun!” and Pascal described the series as “super cool.” Since then, Collider has heard from multiple sources that the film adaptation is real and that Carmichael is working on the script, though they differ on whether he’s writing it on his own with oversight from Tarantino, or co-writing with Quentin himself as well as another, as-yet-unidentified writer.
