 Quentin
Tarantino went a bit too far in developing the story for Once Upon A Time in
Hollywood in developing the back story for Leonardo DiCaprio’s Rick Dalton
character. He told Deadline that he wrote full episodes of the Western TV series
Bounty Law that Dalton starred in. Tarantino is considering doing a limited
series spin-off for a streaming giant: “Two things I had in mind that I wanted
to work on after, and I did, during that period of time. I wrote a play and I
wrote five episodes of a TV series. It’s Bounty Law…I ended up starting to
really like the idea of Jake Cahill, as a character. I really started loving
those half hour ’50s Western scripts. The idea that you could write something
like 24 minutes, where there was so much story crammed in those half hour shows,
with a real beginning and a middle and an end. Also it was kind of fun because
you can’t just keep doubling down and exploring. At some point, you’ve got to
wrap it up. I really liked that idea. I’ve written five different episodes for a
possible Bounty Law black-and-white half hour Western show. If DiCaprio wants to
do it that would be great. I’m not planning on that but I have an outline for
about three other episodes. So I’ll probably write about three other episodes
and then just do it. Direct every episode. They’re a half hour long. I wouldn’t
mind doing it for Netflix but I’d want to shoot it on film. Showtime, HBO,
Netflix, FX. But I also like the fact that I built up this mythology for Bounty
Law and Jake Cahill.” But if DiCaprio isn’t interested then he isn’t sure what
he will do with the scripts. In other QT news seems we will be getting a
director’s cut of Django Unchained in the same manner as the four-episode
extended cut of The Hateful Eight running on Netflix but the new cut would only
run in theaters. He is also considering Kill Bill Vol. 3 since he and Uma
Thurman have discussed the idea. And still in his mind is a prequel to Pulp
Fiction starring the Vega brothers. Tarantino has also has re-affirmed that he
still plans to give up directing with his tenth film so he has one more film in
him before writing books or theater. (Credit multiple sources)
