Five Things I Would Like To See In Quentin Tarantinos New Western
When I heard the news about Quentin Tarantinos next film being a Western I was disappointed that he
would not pursue the filming of his screenplay, Killer Crow. Eventually I thought that if he was going to
make another Western he better make it fast to he can produce Killer Crow by the time his 25th
Anniversary Collection comes out. If hes going to make another Western its going to have to be worth
the wait of Killer Crow and heres my guide to what would make that happen:
Brad Pitt and Tarantino Reteaming
Brad Pitt and Tarantino met at the filming of Inglourious Basterds but before that they desired to work
with one another. When they finally did get to make a film together the product was what I consider to
be Tarantinos best work. Brad Pitt had a very important part in the delivery of IB in general. He
portrayed a Lieutenant from the south that leads a group of Jewish soldiers on a Nazi killing spree. I
actually liked Inglourious Basterds so much that when Tarantino revealed that he had written a full
script of his planned third storyline of Inglourious Basterds I was very excited. So of course when he
revealed that in fact his new film would be a western like Django Unchained I had mixed feelings.
Among those feeling was the anticipation of his new cast. Having already done the main-character-is-
black thing I think the best thing for this film is to have multiple characters like Pulp Fiction, Reservoir
Dogs, and of course Ingourlious Basterds. That is the thought that occurred in my mind right before
thinking about the past actors Tarantino had worked with multiple times, and that thought led me to
the hope that Tarantino would cast Brad Pitt. My dream is that he could play essentially the same
character except maybe this time he could lead a group of cowboys. It would be a quite whimsicalsurprise if Quentin also got some of the other Basterds to play cowboys. Given that all of Quentin
Tarantinos films are connected in one big gory universe, cowboy Brad Pitt could easily be a descendant
of Lieutenant Aldo Raine.
Samuel L. Jackson Playing A Good Guy
Sam and Quentin Tarantino have desired to work with each other for a movie since Reservoir Dogs. Even
though he didnt get a part in Reservoir Dogs, Sam did play the iconic, Oscar nominated role of Jules
Winnfield in Pulp Fiction. He also played major roles in Tarantinos Jackie Brown and last years Django
Unchained. Though I have yet to view Jackie Brown, he didnt play very nice people in his other works
with Tarantino. Thats why I think its time we see him give the classic Tarantino Samuel L. Jackson, but
this time have him be a force for good. I dont mean this Wyatt Earptype guy but I mean the monologue
scene from Pulp Fiction only with him having good intentions. There are a couple of ways I could see this
play out. One thing that I think is on all of our minds is what happened to Django after his film. We last

saw him riding off into the moonlight with a cigar in his mouth and his newly reclaimed wife on the back
of his horse. Where did they go? Maybe they rode all the way to Canada or Mexico to their freedom or
possibly they moved to the mountains and shot any white mans head off that dared look at them.
Whichever happened Im sure most people would like it if Sam Jackson portrayed an older Django that
had become a full time bounty hunter or marshal. The other way Jackson could play a good guy is if he
was just a marshal. Though that sounds kind of boring I think that would be much better than my first
proposal. Of course the only way any of these scenarios could occur is if this film took place in a certain
time period, which brings us to my next wish
A Post Civil War Time Period
After Django Unchaineds controversial depiction of slavery it would be a big surprise if Quentin
Tarantino didnt put some racial conflict in his next film.He already used the pre-civil war setting which
had more than 100 n-words, so wouldnt it make sense for this film to be post? I think we would all like
to see Tarantinos play on the remaining racial tension betweenthe African Americans who have gained
their freedom and the white men that feel betrayed of theirs. After the civil war most men with the
North accepted that they needed to get used to the black men, but the Southerners still resented the
crap out of them. I propose a story about two marshals, one white and one black, that have to work
together to stop a band of Texan cowboys from... Well thats as far as Ill go for lack of information. The
point is that I think Tarantino could do a lot with that times period. Who knows? Maybe hell kill off
another important political figure years before their actual day like he did Hitler!
One Of The Reservoir Dogs To Come Back And Play Their Relative
I just watched Reservoir Dogs the other night and I must say that it is definitely up there with Inglourious
Basterds and Pulp Fiction. Tarantino worked with Harvey Keitel and Michael Madsen multiple times
after Reservoir Dogs so they might be our best chances of seeing a Reservoir Dog in a Spaghetti
Western. I actually dont care if theyre related or not but Iwould like to see one of them play some kind
of law figure. How cool would it be to see Harvey Keitel and Sam Jackson team up and shoot a bunch of
desperadoes up? Tim Roth and Steve Buscemi are still acting as well! I think some of them could also
play small time robbers or something of the outlaw nature. This may be the most unlikely of my dreams
to come true but it is the wish of a loyal Tarantino fan.
The Film To Be Separated Into Parts
My last wish was going to be a cameo from Jamie Foxx as Django but I decided Id put this instead. To
justify this wish lets go back and look at Tarantinos best work: Pulp Fiction was actually four separate
stories, Inglourious Basterds was separated into five chapters, and Reservior Dogs went back and told
the story of how Mr. White, Blonde, and Orange got on board for the Jewelry Heist. My point here is

that the multi-part structure is one of my favorite methods of Mr. Tarantino and all filmmakers. A
western structured like this would truly be something I would watch again and again just like I do with
Inglourious Basterds, which if you havent noticed by now is my favorite of his films.
This is everything that would make Tarantinos western my new favorite so hopefully Mr. Tarantino will
just randomly be surfing the web and see this! Avengers72 out.
