Quentin Tarantino revealed two months ago during an appearance on ‘
The Tonight Show' that he would be doing a Western again, but not a sequel to the Best Picture nominated western of 2012,
Django Unchained.
The director has finished the script for his upcoming western film, which is reportedly titled
The Hateful Eight — which suggests a possible homage to John Sturges' 1960 western
The Magnificent Seven.
There are two actors that Tarantino has in mind for this picture:
Christoph Waltz, who has worked with Tarantino on
Inglourious Basterds and
Django Unchained, and
Nebraska star
Bruce Dern, who also had a small part in
Django. The 77 year-old vet thesp has emerged as a Best Actor frontrunner in new drama from
Alexander Payne.
Word on the street says Tarantino has reached out to veteran casting director
Victoria Thomas and
Pilar Savone (who served as a producer on
Django).
Filming on
The Hateful Eight likely wouldn't get underway until late this year, but hopefully we might get a peek at a script at some point.
Well, anyway, we'll keep our eyes open for more news on another western from Tarantino.
