Quentin Tarantino's Next Film Is Western and the Script Is Almost Done
Movie

The 'Django Unchained' director says he had so much fun making 'Django Unchained' that he wanted to do another film with the same genre.

AceShowbiz - Quentin Tarantino dished on his next project while dropping by "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" recently. The director spilled to host Jay Leno that he was inspired by his last movie "Django Unchained" to make another western movie.

"I haven't told anyone this publicly, but I will say the genre: It's a western," the filmmaker said. He, however, squashed down speculation that it's a sequel to the award-winning slavery movie starring Jamie Foxx, Leonardo DiCaprio and Kerry Washington.

"I had so much fun doing 'Django'," the 50-year-old director explained on the talk show, "and I love westerns so much that after I taught myself how to make one, it's like 'OK! Let me make another one now that I know what I'm doing.' "

Tarantino also discussed his screenwriting regime. He used to write in public places in the morning to "get the juices flowing" and then return home and stay up all night to continue his writing. But that changed around the time of "Inglourious Basterds" in 2009.

"I'd start writing at home from 10 in the morning until 5, or 6 or 7," he said. "I sit there, and I think about it and all of these ideas come to me ... and I kind of work it out a little bit. Then I get out of the pool and I make notes, but then I don't do them...Then the next day, that's my work."

Leno also recounted Tarantino's first appearance on the show in 1992 before the director's film "Reservoir Dogs" had come out. "I had read about this kid who worked in a video store, and he had written a movie. I thought, 'Let's have him on. This could be interesting,' " the host remembered.

"That was a really, really big deal," the director expressed his gratitude. "You have to remember something. Now directors come on talk shows and its not unusual. That wasn't really the case in '92. Especially an unknown director. Forget about it."

Details of his next film are still scarce, but he once expressed his interest to turn the story of abolitionist John Brown into a western film. He's also keen to adapt Elmore Leonard novels including "Forty Lashes Less One" which centers on an Apache indian and a black Union soldier in a suicide mission to track down most wanted outlaws in the West.
