    Five Things I Would Like To See In Quentin Tarantinos New Western

    When I heard the news about Quentin Tarantinos next film being a Western I was disappointed that he

    would not pursue the filming of his screenplay, Killer Crow. Eventually I thought that if he was going to

    make another Western he better make it fast to he can produce Killer Crow by the time his 25th

    Anniversary Collection comes out. If hes going to make another Western its going to have to be worth

    the wait of Killer Crow and heres my guide to what would make that happen:

    Brad Pitt and Tarantino Reteaming

    Brad Pitt and Tarantino met at the filming of Inglourious Basterds but before that they desired to work

    with one another. When they finally did get to make a film together the product was what I consider to

    be Tarantinos best work. Brad Pitt had a very important part in the delivery of IB in general. He

    portrayed a Lieutenant from the south that leads a group of Jewish soldiers on a Nazi killing spree. I

    actually liked Inglourious Basterds so much that when Tarantino revealed that he had written a full

    script of his planned third storyline of Inglourious Basterds I was very excited. So of course when he

    revealed that in fact his new film would be a western like Django Unchained I had mixed feelings.

    Among those feeling was the anticipation of his new cast. Having already done the main-character-is-

    black thing I think the best thing for this film is to have multiple characters like Pulp Fiction, Reservoir

    Dogs, and of course Ingourlious Basterds. That is the thought that occurred in my mind right before

    thinking about the past actors Tarantino had worked with multiple times, and that thought led me to

    the hope that Tarantino would cast Brad Pitt. My dream is that he could play essentially the same

    character except maybe this time he could lead a group of cowboys. It would be a quite whimsicalsurprise if Quentin also got some of the other Basterds to play cowboys. Given that all of Quentin

    Tarantinos films are connected in one big gory universe, cowboy Brad Pitt could easily be a descendant

    of Lieutenant Aldo Raine.

    Samuel L. Jackson Playing A Good Guy

    Sam and Quentin Tarantino have desired to work with each other for a movie since Reservoir Dogs. Even

    though he didnt get a part in Reservoir Dogs, Sam did play the iconic, Oscar nominated role of Jules

    Winnfield in Pulp Fiction. He also played major roles in Tarantinos Jackie Brown and last years Django

    Unchained. Though I have yet to view Jackie Brown, he didnt play very nice people in his other works

    with Tarantino. Thats why I think its time we see him give the classic Tarantino Samuel L. Jackson, but

    this time have him be a force for good. I dont mean this Wyatt Earptype guy but I mean the monologue

    scene from Pulp Fiction only with him having good intentions. There are a couple of ways I could see this

    play out. One thing that I think is on all of our minds is what happened to Django after his film. We last

    saw him riding off into the moonlight with a cigar in his mouth and his newly reclaimed wife on the back

    of his horse. Where did they go? Maybe they rode all the way to Canada or Mexico to their freedom or

    possibly they moved to the mountains and shot any white mans head off that dared look at them.

    Whichever happened Im sure most people would like it if Sam Jackson portrayed an older Django that

    had become a full time bounty hunter or marshal. The other way Jackson could play a good guy is if he

    was just a marshal. Though that sounds kind of boring I think that would be much better than my first

    proposal. Of course the only way any of these scenarios could occur is if this film took place in a certain

    time period, which brings us to my next wish

    A Post Civil War Time Period

    After Django Unchaineds controversial depiction of slavery it would be a big surprise if Quentin

    Tarantino didnt put some racial conflict in his next film.He already used the pre-civil war setting which

    had more than 100 n-words, so wouldnt it make sense for this film to be post? I think we would all like

    to see Tarantinos play on the remaining racial tension betweenthe African Americans who have gained

    their freedom and the white men that feel betrayed of theirs. After the civil war most men with the

    North accepted that they needed to get used to the black men, but the Southerners still resented the

    crap out of them. I propose a story about two marshals, one white and one black, that have to work

    together to stop a band of Texan cowboys from... Well thats as far as Ill go for lack of information. The

    point is that I think Tarantino could do a lot with that times period. Who knows? Maybe hell kill off

    another important political figure years before their actual day like he did Hitler!

    One Of The Reservoir Dogs To Come Back And Play Their Relative

    I just watched Reservoir Dogs the other night and I must say that it is definitely up there with Inglourious

    Basterds and Pulp Fiction. Tarantino worked with Harvey Keitel and Michael Madsen multiple times

    after Reservoir Dogs so they might be our best chances of seeing a Reservoir Dog in a Spaghetti

    Western. I actually dont care if theyre related or not but Iwould like to see one of them play some kind

    of law figure. How cool would it be to see Harvey Keitel and Sam Jackson team up and shoot a bunch of

    desperadoes up? Tim Roth and Steve Buscemi are still acting as well! I think some of them could also

    play small time robbers or something of the outlaw nature. This may be the most unlikely of my dreams

    to come true but it is the wish of a loyal Tarantino fan.

    The Film To Be Separated Into Parts

    My last wish was going to be a cameo from Jamie Foxx as Django but I decided Id put this instead. To

    justify this wish lets go back and look at Tarantinos best work: Pulp Fiction was actually four separate

    stories, Inglourious Basterds was separated into five chapters, and Reservior Dogs went back and told

    the story of how Mr. White, Blonde, and Orange got on board for the Jewelry Heist. My point here is

    that the multi-part structure is one of my favorite methods of Mr. Tarantino and all filmmakers. A

    western structured like this would truly be something I would watch again and again just like I do with

    Inglourious Basterds, which if you havent noticed by now is my favorite of his films.

    This is everything that would make Tarantinos western my new favorite so hopefully Mr. Tarantino will

    just randomly be surfing the web and see this! Avengers72 out.
