Tarantino to Free the Slaves?


With the commercial success and impending Best Picture victory for his WWII-shortening Inglourious Basterds, it sounds like he's interested in whimsically improving history again sooner rather than later. According to the Daily News, this is Tarantino describing his next movie.

"I'd like to do a Western. But rather than set it in Texas, have it in slavery times. With that subject that everybody is afraid to deal with. Let's shine that light on ourselves. You could do a ponderous history lesson of slaves escaping on the Underground Railroad. Or, you could make a movie that would be exciting. Do it as an adventure. A spaghetti Western that takes place during that time. And I would call it 'A Southern.'" Can't wait right?
