Quentin Tarantino is already considering what movie he’s going to direct next after his critical and box office sensation Inglorious Basterds. He’s already mentioned that he is seriously considering making a third Kill Bill movie, but he has to write the script for this movie first.

One other thing Tarantino is considering is making a western, but of course with that trademark Tarantino twist.

Tarantino said that he wants to do a western but instead of setting it in Texas (like most westerns do), he wants to set it during the time of slavery in the United States. Tarantino said that it’s a good opportunity to “shine that light on ourselves,” especially with a subject that everyone still considers quite sensitive. In typical Tarantino style, he said that instead of making a ponderous history lesson on slavery, a good adventure movie about them would be a better idea. He then said that instead of a western, he’d call his new take on the genre a Southern.

I’m a big Tarantino fan so I think that this new idea of his is going to work.
