Quentin Tarantino’s new film a spaghetti Western starring Christoph Waltz

(HMG Celebrity News) – Genre jumping director Quentin Tarantino is moving ahead with his plans to make a Western, entitled ‘Django Unchained’.  Indiewire reports that Tarantino finished the script late last week and handed in a final draft to Weinstein Company, re-teaming the director and film studio responsible for the 1994 smash hit, Pulp Fiction. The film’s title references both Sergio Corbucci’s original Django (1966) and Takashi Miike’s Sukiyaki Western Django (2007), which, not coincidentally, features a cameo from Tarantino. Django Unchained will also see Tarantino reunited with Pulp Fiction collaborator Stacey Sher and will star Christoph Waltz, the Austrian actor who broke through in Tarantion’s last film, Inglourious Basterds snagging an Oscar for his portrayal of a loquacious Nazi.  Django Unchained is said to be about a freed slave, Django, that teams up with a German bounty hunter, played by Waltz, to free his wife from a plantation slaver. Other actors rumored to be surrounding the film are Franco Nero, Keith Carradine, and Treat Williams.
