MUMBAI: Quentin Tarantino has expressed that he could make a new film that would feature black soldiers fighting back against mistreatment in the US Army.
The director of Django Unchained said that the revenge plan, on which the film is in plans, was long in the works.
In his first historical rewrite Inglourious Basterds, Tarantino set a unit of Jewish soldiers off to kill Adolf Hitler in Nazi Germany. According to him, the final product was just a fraction of what he had intended initially to be a miniseries. Now, the remaining parts of the original project could make for a whole new film.
"My original idea for Inglourious Basterds way back when was that this [would be] a huge story that included the [smaller] story that you saw in the film but also followed a bunch of black troops, and they had been f---ed over by the American military and kind of go apeshit," Tarantino has been reported to have said.
"They basically -- the way Lt. Aldo Raines [Brad Pitt] and the Basterds are having an ‘Apache resistance‘ -- [the] black troops go on an Apache warpath and kill a bunch of white soldiers and white officers on a military base and are just making a warpath to Switzerland," he added.
