CELEB: Quentin Tarantino Teams Up with Takashi Miike

Director Quentin Tarantino agreed to step in front of the lens for a role in a Takashi Miike film called Suikiyaki Western: Django. Tarantino and the notorious Itchi the Killer director teamed up for the English-language spaghetti western, which will be Takashi Miike’s first English film.

Tarantino took the role of some dude named Ringo in the film, a spin off of the original 1966 version. Shooting is nearly finished and the film is slated for a summer 2007 release.

£10 that it involves limbs coming off and Tarantino gets a foul mouthed rant.

oh my god yes I'm so excited. I love miike.

We all knew it was coming sooner or later. Now let us just hope it hits stateside very soon.

This is fine and dandy, but will we get opening credits made of jizz?

+1 for already hearing the movie referred to as a "sushi" western.

Normally I would be excited because I loved Django - it was one of the few non-Leone Spaghetti Westerns that got it right. But Takashi Miike is just plain awful. He's like the psycho kid in your neighborhood who collected Fanoria magazine, watched all the WRONG horror movies, and secretly killed all the animals in a five-block radius. All his films are, are extremely poor excuses to show grotesque violence that has no bearing on the story whatsoever - not that there is a story there to begin with. And before anyone thinks me an anti-violence prude, think again. I completely dig on movie violence. In fact, at one point I dabbled in doing make-up effects (actual physical effects too, not that shitty digital gore that comprises the majority of the violence in that garbage "Ichi The Killer") after studying Dick Smith and Tom Savini techniques. But there still has to be a story and characters there.
Tarantino is a terrific filmmaker but, Jesus Christ, he has the worst taste in movies!

horror is the only genre that can have less of a plot than your average porno, and still be great.

this can only be good

I can't even begin to imagine how tasteless that movie is going to be.

Aww, someone hasn't seen Happiness of the Katakuris!

blah blah film geek diarreah blah blah.
comeon, this film is gonna be delicious ... like vomit in a dog bowl delicious.

Hai.

Lovely.

-1 + -1 = -2

seriously, I love you AF.

squeeeeee!!!! This shall be awesome

This teaming sounds cool to me!!!

This film is supossed to be loosely based on the wars betweenMinamoto and Taira clans the in 1100AD. But though the cast is Japanese and the story Japanese, Miike intends to shoot it in English?? Just a rumor but very disturbing. Approach with caution.

Django.... Django....

kick ass news... Be nice if a certain Italian actor was featured in the movie.

You say that like it is a bad thing.
Could this be the first western with a '70s funk soundtrack?

don't forget someone getting burried alive.

I'm excited.

even better
