Quentin Tarantino's next movie is...a western?

AICN posted a small update.

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).
As for Franco Nero, Keith Carradine and Treat Williams, this is the first I've heard of their involvement, but I'm inclined to believe they're in the mix since I've heard the plan is to shoot the film in Italy and Spain later this year. I've been pressing for confirmation since this morning, but have thus far received no responses to my emails.
It's probably too on the nose for Tarantino to cast Waltz as a German quick-draw artist ala Gerard Herter in Sergio Sollima's THE BIG GUNDOWN, right?
More updates as they (hopefully) come in...

So, yeah...if it's true, just...

God I hope so. I'm already sold on this.

[Sir Woodrow]

A Tarantino Western would rock the balls, I hope it's true.

[Stab Sword]

I think he already did a western. It's called Kill Bill Volume 2.

But yeah having Christoph Waltz would be awesome.

Pretty much what I was going to say.

I swear this weekend a friend asked me if I'd heard if Tarantino was making a another movie. I said I hadn't heard anything, but I hope that he would try to make a western. I do love Tarantino's movies, and I love westerns even more. This is awesome news.

Today just keeps getting better and better...I absolute love Sergio Leone and Tarantino

[darthalexander]

If he can get Morricone to work on it, this will be even better.

[Efren]

Fantastic.

[W?Y]

Sounds great!

What doesn't sound great are the months and months of fellow film nerds bitching about what films he's ripped off.

[Joe Neglia]

All I know is that he better give Terence Hill and Bud Spencer some sort of cameos in it.

[Next Level was WRONG]

Sounds awesome.



Just, please, dont f***ing chapter it.

Hells to the yes.

So long as it actually feels like a western and doesn't have his hipster dialogue ruining everything, I'll be fine. In fact, if its a movie where there isn't but three lines of dialogue, I'd be excited. I love the guy but his movies can get a little "talky".

I agree with this. If this pans out, this and Rodrigo Guidino CUT THROATS NINE are going to make me a happy boy. Hopefully, it catches fire, because I have a killer idea for a spaghetti western of my own.

I was a little disappointed in Inglorious Bastards, thought QT got too self-indulgent with the dialogue. Got a little bored as with Jackie Brown. Hope I'll like this western better.

Meanwhile it was my favorite movie of his and was disappointed it didn't win best picture.

Hell QT should just make it a new Trinity movie, For the last time it's Trinity!

[Joe Galt]

Quentin Tarentino could make a movie about wallpaper drying interesting.

care to share?

I've heard Keith Carradine is gonna be in it and the guy from one of the Substitute movies. Great casting choices.
I have faith in this being entertaining.
Most interesting Western director since Raimi (I'm leaving the Coens out because I consider a lot of their movies to be Western themed or frontier themed and their first movie was a noir western)
