Fresh off the back of last week and playing to packed houses and appreciative critics on the other side of the Atlantic, DJANGO UNCHAINED has been welcomed with open arms and embraced now as part of Quentin Tarantino’s back catalogue of grossly entertaining blockbusters. But QT isn’t exactly renowned for releasing each of his sure-fire hits in rapid succession, nor even speaking about a project up until the production or post-production stage. Imagine our delight when he slyly revealed intentions for a new movie, and how it might tie in with his previous two historical epics, DJANGO UNCHAINED and INGLORIOUS BASTERDS…
‘I don’t know exactly when I’m going to do it, but there’s something about this that would suggest a trilogy. My original idea for INGLORIOUS BASTERDS way back when was that this [would be] a huge story that included the [smaller] story that you saw in the film, but also followed a bunch of black troops, and they had been f–ked over by the American military and kind of go apes–t. They basically — the way Lt. Aldo Raine (Brad Pitt) and the Basterds are having an “Apache resistance” — [the] black troops go on an Apache warpath and kill a bunch of white soldiers and white officers on a military base and are just making a warpath to Switzerland…I have most of that written. It’s ready to go; I just have to write the second half of it…That would be the third of the trilogy. It would be [connected to] INGLORIOUS BASTERDS, too, because the Basterds are in it, but it is about the soldiers. It would be called KILLER CROW or something like that.’
The revolutionary director revealed plans to set the movie after the Normandy landings in 1944, reestablishing his obsession with the re-imagining and playing with history in his usual farcical, self-parodying way. An inclusion of characters from INGLORIOUS BASTERDS, which would of course be the second time Tarantino would develop a certain world’s characters over the course of two movies, follows a tradition set in KILL BILL VOL. I & II. It’s satisfying to know that a lot of the script is written, also.
