Last week, in addition to finding that the full cut of Kill Bill complete with new anime sequence (aka Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair) would play the New Beverly Cinema in March, there were whisperings that Quentin Tarantino is busy assembling his new film. At the time we didn’t have any real word about what the movie would be, but now Italian actor and one-time spaghetti western star Franco Nero says that he is involved in a western with Quentin Tarantino. Further reports say that the director’s next film is definitely a western, and that it will star breakout Inglourious Basterds star Christoph Waltz.


Franco Nero told Movieplayer (via The Playlist),

My next project will be a western, but not in Italy. Here it is hard work. The film will be called The Angel, The Bad and The Wise* and is a tribute to Sergio Leone. It ‘s a movie that contains humor, lots of action, but also a great plot.

We have already been signed by a dozen people who will be part of project. Among the filmmakers involved include Quentin Tarantino, Keith Carradine, Treat Williams, fifteen people in all. Americans who want to do this movie and so we are trying to produce it outside of Italy.

(Those quotes are translated, so perhaps aren’t exact.)

But there’s more. At first we wondered if this might be something in which Quentin Tarantino might appear, aka Takashi Miike’s film Sukiyaki Western Django, rather than the film alluded to by Jeremy Smith of AICN last week when he said “Tarantino’s next project is quietly coming together behind the scenes. Hope to have something to report soon. I predict most people will be very happy with it.”

But Jeremy updated today with several points, chief among them a firm statement that Quentin Tarantino is making a spaghetti western and that it will feature Christoph Waltz. He can’t confirm the involvement of Franco Nero or any of the other actors mentioned in the quotes above. Finally, he says that title (The Angel, the Bad and the Wise) is totally wrong, and that even when you account for possible Google Translate mangling, the title “isn’t even close.”

No one has plot details yet, but the shoot is reportedly set for later this year in (contrary to Franco Nero’s statement) Italy and Spain. More on this as we get it.

I think people have an idea in their head of what a slave should look like. But the thing is, by virtue of being a slave, you would dress how your master wanted you to dress.

I thought they said he was running with a bounty hunter, Waltz' character. That's why I think he looks too clean and polished.

I guess Waltz could buy himself nice stuff.... everything just seems so amped up and calculated.

It's probably the hat!t:

Subscribing. I'm looking forward to when the trailer hits.

 

[Boom]

Waltz, Foxx, and DiCaprio look epic.

 

[Tacit Ronin]

Looks so much cooler than I envisioned Leo when I read the script. But then again, I ain't no costume designer.

That was posted months ago and Nero's not talking about Django.

 

[Brother Jack]

I'm really looking forward to the trailer for this. Tarantino has always flirted with the Western genre, so it's great to see him tackle it outright, even if he describes this as a 'Southern'. I'm not even the biggest fan of his and I'm intrigued.

 

[mclay18]

Eh. I'm not sure about this one -- but then, Tarantino's movies always give me that vibe. And I wonder how this movie will feel without Sally Menke's magic touch...

That said, Tarantino has a superb eye for casting and production design.

looks like Aldo is going to have to move over as my favorite Tarantino character.

This is the vagaries of our old friend Thread Manager. When a new page to a continuing thread gets generated by Thread Manager, it seems to automatically re-post the very first post from the very start of the thread sequence, no matter how far back (weeks; months; years) it actually began.

 

[dark_b]

yes i also made this mistake. now i know to ignore the first 2 posts.

 

[Boom]

Gonna go ahead and re-post these in the new thread:

 

[Gianakin_]

Leo still looks badass.

 

[Boom]

Christoph Waltz's coat kinda took me by surprise. I knew he was going to wear a grey duster (from the script) but I didn't expect it to have those trimmed flaps.

It's very authentic. It was stylish in early and midcentury, particularly Back East (and Down South). Very nice look for Christoph.

 

[p4poetic]

Patiently waiting for a still of Kerry Washington.

I've said it before, but Leo is a fat guy waiting to happen.

He's starting to favor Jack Nicholson.

 

[Dark Donnie]

Loving the stills...any idea when we'll see some footage?

 

[Boom]

My guess is with The Expendables 2.

 

[Stringer]

Not with Batman?

 

[Boom]

I figure the trailer will be attached to an R-rated film. I'd be happy to be wrong, though .

 

[FamilyGuy827]

Sacha Baron Cohen is out of the film:

[MessiahDecoy123]

Glad Cohen didn't leave a major role. It was just a cameo.

 

[redhawk23]

Shame these actors have to keep leaving, I mean they are small roles but it would have been interesting to see both Cohen and JGL in this.

 

[Eddie Dean]

I could care less about Cohen, but I'll blow a gasket if Russell leaves.
