Quentin Tarantino reveals plans to shoot eight-episode TV series next year

Quentin Tarantino has revealed he plans to return to television, looking to shoot a eight-episode series in 2023. The director shared news of the project Wednesday night while promoting his new book, "Cinema Speculation," at an event in New York hosted by Elvis Mitchell.

The filmmaker wasn't upfront with the narrative or production details around the project. Tarantino has worked in television before, directing two episodes of 'CSI: Crime Scene Investigation' in 2005. Since then he's flirted with adventure, with reports emerging in February that the director was in talks to helm the episodes. of FX's "Justified" revival. .

The conversation in New York covered a lot of ground, with Tarantino touching on other projects he has surrounded over the years. The writer-director shared that he wrote a play before 'Once Upon a Time in Hollywood' ended. He also said he was approached to do a rewrite of Samuel L. Jackson's "Shaft" reboot in 2000, but turned down the offer.

When asked which comic he would adapt if given the choice, Tarantino said that he would be interested in bringing "Sgt. Fury and His Howling Commandos" to the screen. "Sergeant. Fury" follows Nick Fury, played by Samuel L. Jackson in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and the escapades of the eponymous World War II unit, which appeared in 2011's "Captain America: The First Avenger." /p>

Whether Tarantino will continue the TV series remains somewhat uncertain. In recent years, the director circled the production and possibly directing of a "Star Trek" entry after pitching J.J. Abrams, though he later shared that he was "stepping away" from the project.

"Cinema Speculation", Tarantino's new collection of essays on films that shaped him , is now available for purchase.
