Quentin Tarantino won the Academy Award for Best Screenwirter for his hit film Django Unchained, so it might not come as a surprise that he recently revealed that his next project will be in the same vein as this film. While appearing on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Tarantino explained that he is in fact working on a new script and that it falls under the western genre much like Django. He did however say that it would not be a sequel to the Oscar-winning movie.
"I can't talk that much about it, but I will say one thing," Tarantino said. "I haven't told anyone about this publicly, but I will say the genre. It's a western. It's not a Django sequel, but it's another Western. I had so much fun doing Django and I love westerns so much, that after I taught myself how to make one, it's like 'OK, now let me make another one now that I know what I'm doing.'"
Though this news is exciting, it doesn't really give us much to go on in terms of the next Tarantino film. There's no telling where this project will lead and that is pretty exciting if you think about it.
Jay also asked Quentin about his writing process and how it has changed over the years.
"It's funny, in the last, like, five years, it's kind of developed into something else. Before, what I would do is, normally if I had to write during the day I'd go out to a restaurant or to a bar, kinda write out in public and get the juices flowing that way. But at home I'd write at home all night long," he said. "That kind of changed around the time of Inglourious Basterds."
