Quentin Tarantino is moving ahead with his plans to make a Western, entitled ‘Django Unchained’. Deadline.com reports that Tarantino finished the script late last week. The website’s Mike Fleming said: “While Tarantino has spoken about doing a variation of the Western genre he called a ‘Southern’, I’m told he has actually written a spaghetti Western, that stylised and violent brand of films popularised by Sergio Leone and a few other directors in the 1960s.
“Tarantino will put his stamp on one of his favourite genres same as he did when he took on the war mission movie with ‘Inglourious Basterds’.”
It is reported that casting will begin shortly, with the film going into production later this

Would be eagerly awaiting this one!
Am fascinated by the Tarantino brand of cinema.. Yet to check out a QT film in a theatre.. Am sure it would be a scintillating experience!
Only if he could tone down the violence a little bit.. But its useless to expect that from his films.. !!

a related older comment on Tarantino:
“That initial sequence in Inglorious Basterds though seems to me to be a better ‘homage’ on Tarantino’s part than anything else he’s attempted. The most obvious examples are the Kill Bill movies. But here from Lady Snowblood to Leone the ‘originals’ already seem to be a bit like Tarantino avant la lettre! In other words the sense of a postscript to an entire genre that is also ultimately comic because it’s reflexively ironic is a move already present in those older works. To ‘spoof’ Lady Snowblood or Leone seems beside the point. To look at it yet another way the older films are sort of Desai attempts, essentially comedies but which nonetheless take their ‘epic’ gestures very seriously. Tarantino though wants to deconstruct the latter as well and in some ways misses the encounter.”

Hmmm.. haven’t seen much of international cinema.. maybe not even 1/20th of what you’ve seen Satyam. So dont know about most of the films he gets his inspirations from. But this guy has a wild fan following among film geeks, all over the world.
Incidentally, the conversations/dialogues in his films are worth the price of the ticket

Loving this, Have always been a fan of Spaghetti western’s, I always thought of The Good, The Bad & The ugly as the American Sholay (as in the best film made in Hollywood) Which is my opinion only. There are many other great films made by Sergio Leone, This one stands out for me. However, Loved his Once Upon a Time in the west & Once upon a time in America, Both Legendary films. (There are many references in sholay from OUATIW, ex – Gabbar Killing that little kid, lots of tune from its background score. Cant wiat for this one though. IT will be treat to watch.

Considering that he is making a spaghetti western, thought I would throw in my 2 cents of the old spaghetti westerns. Sorry If I went off topic.
