Quentin Tarantino's Next Film: "It's a Western"

Quentin Tarantino has revealed on Jay Leno's The Tonight Show that his next film will be another Western. He didn't give much more detail, other than that it won't be a sequel to Django Unchained. With that announcement we can also probably rule out that it will be the trilogy-capping Killer Crow project that he had mentioned last year. I'm not disappointed he's doing another Western, but given his recent talk of retirement, I would prefer to see him branch out and tackle other genres -- especially horror -- or even return to a more restrained and emotionally mature mode of a film like Jackie Brown. Here's the Jay Leno interview:

More Tarantino/Django Unchained Bits

I'm probably risking Tarantino/Django Unchained fatigue on this blog after the last post, but what the heck, it's a new year, and Tarantino may not be making movies anymore very soon so let's just bask in this stuff while we can. Also, next week we're giving away tickets to see the movie, so in the spirit of generating buzz, here are some clips for your viewing pleasure:

• QT on the Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson - he tells us what he thinks of Prometheus and talks about kids movies.
• Interview with Jake Hamilton - if you don't have time to watch the whole thing, fast forward to around 13:57 for the best segment of the interview.
• Every Pop Culture Reference from Tarantino Movies in Chronological order - 'nuff said.

Django Unchained Reviews Are In! + Tarantino stuff

There's only one thing causing more noise in film news than The Hobbit this month and it's The New Film by Quentin Tarantino. Django Unchained, the 49-year-old director's 7th feature, has been screened for critics stateside and the reviews are now starting to pop up on the web. Anne Thompson over at Indiewire has this mostly positive round-up, although she isn't as crazy about the film as some of other critics. Also: reviews from The Guardian, Badass Digest, Slant Magazine.

Recently the Hollywood Reporter held a Director Roundtable featuring Tarantino, Ben Affleck, Tom Hooper, Ang Lee, David O. Russell and Gus Van Sant. I didn't get around to posting it last week but here are a couple of Tarantino highlights from that session:
And last but not least, the following is a great interview Tarantino did with Howard Stern. The interview is very frank, revealing (he doesn't like Owen Wilson!) and often hilarious. Listen to its 75-minute entirety here:

Trailer: Django Unchained

The new trailer for Quentin Tarnatino's western Django Unchained has arrived, featuring more footage of everything, like Jamie Foxx twirling pistols, DiCaprio relishing in some lip-licking, scene-chewing Southern villainry and Jonah Hill as a Ku Klux Klan member?? As with the release of any new Tarantino film, I'm excited, especially with this being his first all-out western, but I'm also a bit more cautious this time with the knowledge that there have been production troubles, from constant casting shuffles to a protracted shooting schedule. Let's hope none of this will show in the final film or matter when it's released on Christmas day (just over 2 months away!!).
