Quentin Tarantino Says "Killer Crow" Could Finish His Historical Trilogy
With his latest, slave-turned-bounty hunter vengeance quest Django Unchained,
in American cinemas over Christmas, Quentin Tarantino has naturally
been busy on the promotional trail. Talking about the film, he’s
revealed that his previous release, Inglourious Basterds, may spawn what could become the third part of a trilogy featuring some unused script material. Tarantino
has talked in the past about having lots of material leftover when he
converted the long-gestating passion project between a briefly planned
miniseries version into the cinematic incarnation that finally reached
cinemas. Now he says he’s considering a third revisionist history film to stand alongside Django and the Basterds,
this time spotlighting characters originally intended to feature in
stories running alongside those of Brad Pitt’s Lt. Aldo Raines and his
squad. "My original idea for Inglourious 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***ed over by the American military and
kind of go apeshit," Tarantino tells The Root. "They basically –
the way Lt. Aldo Raines 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." Tentatively titled Killer Crow
(though that may well change), the material as it stands would
currently make for about half a film, and, if it happens would be set in
1944 following the Allied landings. Naturally, QT has a lot of projects
on the go, and this one might have to wait its turn if it goes ahead at
all. (empireonline)
