Quentin Tarantino’s Next Film Is a Spaghetti Western Starring Christoph Waltz

Beaks from AICN says:

I still don't have all the pieces of the story (my Tarantino sources have been much more tight-lipped regarding this project than they were on INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS), but here are three things I can confirm: 1) Quentin Tarantino's next film is a spaghetti western, 2) Christoph Waltz is "one of the stars", and 3) that title is completely wrong (even if it got completely mangled by Google Translate, it's still not even close). I cannot confirm plot details at present (though I think I've got the premise). (Christoph Waltz, Cinema, Franco Nero, Quentin Tarantino, Tarantino Spaghetti Western)

I wish I actually cared about Tarantino still but I just can't bring myself to actually get excited over anything he does or says.

Why? What made you not care about him? I enjoy everything he does.
Crazay  +   840d ago
Kill Bill sucked big floppy Donkey Dick and Basterds was less than stellar and more of a huge disappointment. Was almost like getting a BJ with a Jimmy Hat on.

It was ok but far from how awesome it should have been.

UHH... WHAT?!

Were we watching the same movies? I'm not going to go into a whole conversation in explaining why those 3 films are great but you might be the first person that I've ever seen say that they hated Kill Bill. Seriously the only person.

Basterds has gotten some flak but for reasons I do not understand. Maybe people thought reading was too much of a chore or something. I guess you just don't like Tarantino's style.

I'm fine with Tarantino - I think Pulp FIction is one of the best movies of the 90s and From Dusk til Dawn is still a movie that gets quoted on a regular basis around my house. I still need to see all of Reservoir Dogs, but what I have seen I really liked and I thought Grindhouse: Death Proof was pretty sweet (Planet Terror was better).

Basterds had some decent fun moments but by and large it wasn't a very good movie and most people just got swept up in the media hype of it all. Kill Bill .... Well.....What can I say about Kill Bill without people thinking I'm a total dick with a potty mouth?

Uma Thurman is a talentless halfwit. I tolerated her for the 25ish minutes she was in Fiction only because for half her screen time her mouth was shut and she was unconscious. Kill Bill was just dumb dumb dumb and this is coming from someone who LOVES EVERYTHING Jackass related.

I cannot stand the man. I've only enjoyed the one film of his (Pulp Fiction) but that was it. He's a gimmick director, and unless he can based something off of that gimmick he doesn't do it. Then he thinks he invented the damn wheel and it's just hard to take. Honestly his producing adventures have interested me way more than anything he's ever directed.
darksied  +   839d ago
I'm the same way. It even happens that a movie comes out of his that I don't like (Kill Bill 2, Inglorious Basterds), but guess what? I still rewatch them more than I do any other movies.

And Pulp Fiction is still on a short list of movies that I can watch any time and not be bored, no matter how many times I've seen it.

Quentin Tarantino is an awesome producer and director. I gained more respect for him after I watched Inglorious Bastards. But, the name, Spaghetti Western doesn't sound too appealing right now, haha.

Spaghetti western technically means a western made in Italy but it commonly means a violent western.

Like his favorite movie ever, The Good, the Bad and the Ugly.

He needs to cut back on dialogue thats for sure. His movies can get a little boring and overwhelming.

That and inglorious bastards was broing and stupid as hell.
Crazay  +   840d ago
THANK-YOU Soldier!!!!

FInally someone on FW that actually agree with me on Tarantino.
JL  +   840d ago
Cut back on dialog? Not at all. That's one of Tarantino's strongest suits. His dialog is usually great.

I thoroughly enjoyed Inglorious Basterds as well.
Soldierone  +   840d ago
To me he completely throws the show and dont tell aspect of film making out the door. He is strong with it and makes for good dialogue, but he doesnt need as much as he uses thats for sure.

The one thing people tell me they hate about any of his films is there is too much talking. I like him, but thats one perk i could live without.
darklordzor  +   839d ago
Totally agreed...though I think most of his stuff is boring.
darksied  +   839d ago
@_JL_

Exactly. I know everyone says this about his movies, but I rewatch his movies for the "boring" dialog more than I rewatch another movie for some cool action scene.
JL  +   838d ago
@darkseid

Thank you. Glad someone agrees. His dialog can be absolutely brilliant most of the time. Some of the conversations of monologues I could listen to all the time.

For example, what would Pulp Fiction be without the whole apartment "Allow me to retort" scene. Or the back and forth between Jackson and Roth in the diner. Or the little speech about "that's pride f*cking with you" by Ving. Or the different parts of dialog at Tarantino's house when trying to dispose of the body. That entire movie hinges on brilliant dialog.

I could also listen to that whole dialog between Beatrice and Bill at the end of Kill Bill 2 any time. Especially Bill's whole Superman speech. Or Tarantino's part in Four Rooms, some more great dialog.

That's the stuff I tune into Tarantino's movies for in large part.

I actually really enjoyed both Kill Bill and Inglorious Basterds. I thought From Dusk Till Dawn was crap though.

Not the first person I've known to not like Kill Bill though. But I think both were fun movies. Death Proof was enjoyable as well.
-MD-  +   840d ago
Yes! Waltz was fantastic in 'Basterds' glad to see him teaming up with Tarantino again. I'm so-so with it being a western but I won't judge until I see it.

What's with the picture in the article though? They must have a strong dudebro relationship to let him bite his ear.
Sunny_D  +   840d ago
Oh yes, if I had to pick my favorite movie from Tarantino, it would have to be Pulp Fiction. Man, that is his best work. 1994 had sooo many good movies and music, I wish I could go back to this time.

Bubble vote added sir. Fiction was amazing as was the soundtrack. Come to think of it, the Reservoir Soundtrack was good too.
martynmj  +   839d ago
Pulp Fiction was definitely his best work! I remember him saying a few years back that he'd like to do a western. It'll be interesting to see how he goes about it
Soldierone  +   840d ago
He is hit or miss with me. I like some films, and not others. I just have to be interested. In Gran Torino it was the car that kept me interested.
Crazay  +   840d ago
LOL - That movie was a good heartfelt flick.
creamsoda  +   840d ago
I hated Inglorious Basterds it was a borefest but Kill Bill was awesome.
TwistedMetal  +   839d ago

After Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction & Jackie Brown, Tarantino seems to have let the whole Hollywood Director of the Month thing go to his head. He got his ass handed to him by Rodriguez when they both directed there double feature films. Rodriguez's film was awesome & completely entertaining from start to finish, wheras Deathproof was a waste of film, that was so potential filled that it was actually painful to watch, as I thought Kurt Russell was brilliant & the whole premise & character idea was the most awesome, original idea for a serial killer since Hannibal Lecter. Considering how psychotic, & freaky they could have taken Stuntman Mike too, & the potential to make him Freddy & Jason-esque type horror legend......Quentin just obviously sniffed too much coke, & wrote a script with one of the potential all time greatest horror movie protagonists, & filled the script with blank pages of character dialogue, instead filling the pages with shot descriptions of try hard, over blown, exploitation crap that was like a 3rd graders idea of hardcore porn. I mean, I don't remember ever seeing a film with so much wasted film footage of tight denim shorts on sexy chicks asses, or cleavage & the like, that failed to add anything to the film, expect extreme boredom, & fans of the director (like myself), scratching our heads thinking, what the f$ck is this guy doing. And to add insult to injury, we finally get a bit of action & one of the most awesome, creative ways to kill a victim in a horror, serial killer movie in a loooong time, then the piece of crapfest goes back to another 30mins of drawn out, snorefest stalking, & when that turd of an idea finally gets converted into Stuntman Mike going in for a multiple kill scenario.....Tarantino turns one of the supposed victims into another stuntman(girl), & the other 2 girls into complete M.M.A's baddasses that could beat down the entire UFC roster, & they all of a sudden the women are extra's out of Kill Bill or Foxforce 5. Tarantino then turns Russell's once awesome character into a complete pussy, that goes from hunter to hunted & not only goes on the defence from these chicks, but also runs from them & cries like a pussy. Not too believable considering he was prreviously capable of putting his life on the line, along with previous victims, by having major high speed, head on crashes that put him in hospital with casts & braces on him all over the place.

Quite liked Inglorious Basterds, I'd say it was his best film since Pulp Fiction (that's not saying too much though).

I loved both Reservior Dogs and Pulp Fiction and would say both were two of the best and most inspirational films of the 90s. I enjoyed True Romance and From Dusk Till Dawn was entertaining enough. Jackie Brown was a bit of a let down and I think it was the start of Tarantinos ego taking over. Four Rooms was awful (although his story was the best of the 4 it was still pretty bad). I hated the Kill Bill films, the dialogue was embarrassing and the characters were terrible - considering these were the two elements that made Dogs and Pulp such great movies, it's hard to believe the same guy wrote and directed them.

I think Tarantino is just a major movie geek that took his obsession to a new level. Good on him, but we've seen the best Tarantino has to offer we'll never see another Pulp Fiction from him.

Would also like to say that I don't like the way Tarantino gets away with ripping off other film makers. He's the biggest rip off artist in the business yet he seems to get away with it because he is "paying homage" - bulls**t, he's ripping off, plain and simple anybody who has seen any of the films that he "pays homage" to knows this. It will be interesting to see how many close up shots of eyes we get in this spaghetti western as he pays homage to Sergio Leone.

I understand though, he's a movie geek and movies are where he draws his inspiration, but it means that all we get from him are his rehashed/remixed visions of old cult movies. It was a relatively new approach to movie making back in the 90s but it's rather old and transparent now.
