Django Unchained (2012)

[hardcorefrokid]

Sounds good.

[bone crusher]

When can I buy the Blu-ray for this movie?!

[ZedsDead]

I heard rumors a few months back he might be working on a western, glad to see that it looks like it is coming to fruition.

[wilky61]

All this movie would need to be complete badassery is an appearance by Sam Elliott.

[EricJ]

So, Q'll get us all hyped up with an "I'm copying Leone, can you tell?" title (complete with artificially egregious Itanglish title-translation error)...
And then, the minute a badass gunfighter appears onscreen, we hear the Shaft theme, and see his name in 70's Blaxploitation font.

(Sigh...Wake me when Quentin learns to follow one geek-art impulse at a time. )

[,deeii]

Ooh this is going to be good!
Quentin + Western =

[Saints 2010]

Excited!

Major Happy

Tarantino's Western Script Could Be Delivered Within Two Months

You’ve got to hand it to Quentin Tarantino: he can go months or even years without a peep, and then he comes out of the gate with a big project. Last time it was Inglourious Basterds, the WWII film that he’d been talking up for years, but actually made in a year, exactly as he said he would when announcing it at Cannes 2008.

Now he’s got a Western project. Rumblings of the film emerged last week, then were confirmed yesterday with word that the film is a western that will feature Christoph Waltz and perhaps Franco Nero, Keith Carradine and Treat Williams. Now the director has talked about it at the Weinstein Company Oscar afterparty. In short: he’s on track to deliver the script within two months (seemingly to The Weinstein Company) and then get the film before cameras later this year. Quite a turnaround for the director, who was previously known for obsessing over his scripts for many more months at a time.

Deadline talked to the director, who said that a draft of the Western is done and that “compared to recent scripts like Inglourious Basterds and Kill Bill that took so long to crystallize, this one came together much quicker and just flowed out of him.”

That seems to counter the last update from Jeremy Smith at AICN, who said that these reports might be “a bit early.”

Quentin Tarantino has talked about a western for years, in addition to mentioning possible films like more Kill Bill chapters, a ’30s gangster picture, a KKK revenge film, another Elmore Leonard adaptation (40 Lashes Less One) and other possible films.

The western is a promising prospect, however, in part because he has talked about setting it not in Texas, but in the American South, where it could deal with slavery. This could turn the movie into a hot-button topic in the same way that Inglourious Basterds drew the ire of some for fictionalizing WWII. (The first time that war was ever exaggerated or fictionalized in a film, right?)

How do you make a western set away from the frontier of the American West, that being the location that specifically characterizes the genre? Perhaps by defining a different sort of frontier. A primary concern of the western is the conflict between the loose, lawless frontier and the advance of civilization. Stamping out slavery sure sounds like the advance of civilization to me. Quentin Tarantino could still be paying homage to Sergio Leone, as Franco Nero’s comments about this film suggest, but if he did that this could be a unique film all his own.

Excellent news! If that's the case, we could see this movie as early as next year!

To add to the other 7,304 films that I want to see next year

Not with Tarrentino. He needs to find a new editor. It's a personal journey. I can't see him hiring someone so soon.

2013 is my guess.

PLEASE WRITE A ROLE FOR MARY!

He could get Rodriguez to edit it for him. They work together all the time anyway, and Rodriguez has a history with semi-westerns, with The Mariachi trilogy and From Dusk 'till Dawn. And if they did that, I expect Danny Trejo to have a role.

[blufellas]

Great news, thanks OP.

[Agent Cooper]

Please let this be the film to have an Eli Wallach cameo and a Morricone score, before both of these living legends leave us for good.

[El Duderino]

This might be the so called "southern" Q had talked about in 2007 that deals with Slavery.

No, that was his Mandingo remake, this is his Sergio Leone remake--
Aw, heck, it's Q, he'll do them both at the same time....

Speaking to Hollywood Outbreak, she said that she

Note that ‘a Southern’ isn’t the title of the film, but the genre, an obvious play on ‘western.’ Because QT said several years ago,

When word of this new script started to go around, we quickly leapt to the conclusion that the film described above is what is is working on, and Uma Thurman’s description of the film as a ‘southern’ certainly suggests as much. Whatever it is, a new Quentin Tarantino film will be an event. As will likely be the case for a long time this also reminds us of the sad passing of his editor, Sally Menke, and I’m very interested to see who he picks to work in her stead for this new film.

Well here's something totally out of my arse but here goes. Chloe Moretz apparently just signed to do a "secret project with a director that she always wanted to work with and it's huge." Ive read Tarantino loved her in Kick-Ass so maybe she's in it. Maybe even the Angel in the suggested title.

[hardtosayx]

Honestly I agree with you. I saw this thread come up and then Kick-Ass 2, then got the idea that maybe that's who she's working with
