Tarantino plans Western TV series as next project

Quentin Tarantino is looking to the future as he plans his next project which may be in the form of a television miniseries adaptation of Elmore Leonard’s western Forty Lashes Less One.

“I own the rights to this book [I’ve] wanted to adapt for a while, and the time may have come for me to tackle [it],” Tarantino told Premiere magazine. “This is Forty Lashes Less One, [written by] Elmore Leonard… which could be my third western. [I’m] considering [taking the] project to TV, in the form of a mini-series of four or six hours.”

Tarantino’s latest project, The Hateful Eight, hits the states on January 8th.
