Quentin Tarantino wants to make TV mini-series based on unused material from Django Unchained

[quote]CANNES, France -- Quentin Tarantino loves 'Django Unchained so much, he wants four hours of it out there.

The director told an audience at the Cannes Film Festival on Friday that he's mulling over a special four-hour mini-series of the 2012 Oscar-winning American Western.

"I have about 90 minutes worth of material with Django," Tarantino said. "It hasn't been seen. My idea, frankly, is to cut together a four-hour version of Django Unchained.

"But I wouldn't show it like a four hour movie. I would cut it up into hour chapters. Like a four-part mini-series. And show it on cable television. Show it like an hour at a time, each chapter."

"We'd use all the material I have and it wouldn't be an endurance test. It would be a mini-series. And people love those," Tarantino said.

The movie concept would be too much.

"People roll their eyes at a four-hour movie. But a four-hour mini-series that they like, then they are dying to watch all four parts. That's how I thought it could work," he said.[/quote]

Amazing news, one of the biggest flaws of Django was how noticeable was the lack of cut content.

Fuck yeah. Hopefully they air it on AMC, FX, or better yet HBO so they won't have to censor his dialogue.

I hope they show it over here, could probably do it uncensored on BBC 2. I've never known Ofcom to be touche with language after the watershed

Remember that Tarantino's friend, Robert Rodriguez launched last year [url=http://www.elreynetwork.com/]his own cable network[/url] that airs TV series version of From Dusk Till Dawn. I wouldn't be surprised if it was Rodriguez who convinced him to mini-series format.
