Den kritikerhyllade Once Upon a Time in Hollywood har ännu inte hunnit få svensk premiär, men redan nu har filmregissören Quentin Tarantino planer på att bygga vidare på sin Hollywood-satir. Han avslöjade nämligen via en intervju med Deadline att han har skrivit fem episoder av Bounty Law, den fiktiva westernserien om Leonardo DiCaprios filmkaraktär Rick Dalton har huvudrollen i, som ett sätt att förstå sig på sina filmkaraktärer:
"From watching the different old Western shows and everything, I did it to get in the head of 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."
Det är osannolikt att DiCaprio repriserar sin roll i denna potentiella spinoff, men menar att han är redo att filma dessa en rad avsnitt om det finns intresse för det:
"I can't imagine Leonardo is going to want to do it. [Maybe I'll] cast somebody else? If he 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."
Once Upon a Time in Hollywood får premiär den 16 augusti. Tarantino arbetar även på en Django/Zorro-film och en Star Trek-rulle (som enligt honom själv är en "Pulp Fiction i rymden"), men i dagsläget är hans nästa filmprojekt inte helt bekräftat. Vill du se westernserie från Tarantino?
