Quentin Tarantino's Next "might" be a Western

It's been half a year since Quentin Tarantino's latest masterpiece was released to great success, and since then he has hinted at some films he'd like to do. Regrettably he hasn't yet elaborated on any of those promised films. Today we got word of yet another possible film he might make next. This time he describes it as "a Western, but rather than set it in Texas, have it in slavery times. With that subject that everybody is afraid to deal with, let's shine that light on ourselves. You could do a ponderous history lesson of slaves escaping on the Underground Railroad. Or, you could make a movie that would be exciting. Do it as an adventure. A spaghetti Western that takes place during that time. And I would call it 'A Southern."

I have to say that this story description gets me excited to see it, especially coming from Quentin. The problem is he's described a ton of films that he "wants to do" but still hasn't announced that he's putting his focus on any film. He's talked about a third Kill Bill film, but he's made it clear that that won't come until 2014. He once told of an outline for an Inglourious Basterds prequel that would be set in Africa, but seeing as the film just came out it's probably too soon to make a sequel. He even elaborated on an amazing plot based on Conan O'Brien's recent Tonight Show debacle, claiming it to be "A Conan Revenge Movie", but that seems to have been saddly just a joke. I'll still be eagerly awaiting the release of Late Shift 2: The Rolling Thunder of Revenge.

My point is that when Quentin Tarantino announces what he'd like to do for a film, that remains the only thing on people's minds for the next several days. People get so excited about anything he might do, because he breathes genius into every frame of a film. He really needs to definitively announce what his next film will be soon, at least so we know that something is on the way. What do you think? Is Tarantino taking too much of a hiatus because of his Oscar buzz? Which of his possible films do you most want to see from him?
