"Inglourious Basterds" Japanese Theatrical Poster
Following the release of 2012’s Django Unchained, Quentin Tarantino spoke of doing another Western or a “Pretty Boy Floyd”-type 1930’s gangster flick as his follow up. Then, news broke out that Tarantino wanted to complete his “Historical Trilogy” with sort of a spin-off of Inglourious Basterds, involving black troops that have been screwed over by the American military.
Updates: According to Deadline, the next Quentin Tarantino movie is definitely a western titled The Hateful Eight. Apparently, Tarantino has finished a draft and is ready to distribute it to actors. So far, Christoph Waltz and Bruce Dern are attached. | Deadline reports that Tarantino has shelved The Hateful Eight, due to script leakage. “I’m very, very depressed,” Tarantino said. “I finished a script, a first draft, and I didn’t mean to shoot it until next winter, a year from now. I gave it to six people, and apparently it’s gotten out today.”
Allegedly, The Hateful Eight script was hosted and distributed by a website called Gawker. Deadline reports that Tarantino has filed a legal complaint against Gawker, charging the website copyright infringement and contributory copyright infringement. Apparently, Gawker is now blaming Tarantino for making his script a ‘frenzy.’
BREAKING NEWS: During a recent live-reading of the “leaked” The Hateful Eight script (featuring Samuel L. Jackson, Kurt Russell, Tim Roth and Bruce Dern), Tarantino announced that he may be filming The Hateful Eight next winter, and it will be based off a newly revised script with a totally new final chapter.

Of course he does, what a coward! Make the damn movie, quit crying about it! Don’t let movie scripts leak in the first place!
“Your Honor, my client wants relief from someone who stole his script of yet another movie which rips off other movies.”
