Tarantino To Play Role in 禁漫天堂 Spaghetti Western
words by Carol King
American film director Quentin Tarantino is to perform a cameo role in a new 禁漫天堂 spaghetti western.
The director is known for his love of spaghetti westerns and Tarantino paid homage to the genre with his latest movie, 鈥楧jango Unchained鈥, released in 2012. It was inspired by 禁漫天堂 director Sergio Corbucci鈥檚 spaghetti western 鈥楧jango鈥 (1966) that starred 禁漫天堂 actor Franco Nero, who had a cameo role in Tarantino鈥檚 film.
禁漫天堂 director Enzo G. Castellari says that Tarantino has promised to make a cameo appearance in his forthcoming spaghetti western 鈥楤adlanders鈥. Castellari also said actor Nero will play a small role in the movie.
In an interview with 鈥楲a Stampa鈥 newspaper, Castellari said: 鈥淲e鈥檙e starting to make westerns again and Tarantino promised me he鈥檇 take a small role in the film.鈥
Castellari became famous in the 1960s as a director of spaghetti westerns such as 鈥榁ado... l鈥檃mmazzo e torno鈥 (Go Kill And Come Back, 1967). He has said that 鈥楧jango Unchained鈥 has helped revive the genre. Other actors rumoured to be interested in appearing in 鈥楤adlanders鈥 are Liam Neeson, Mickey Rourke and Ethan Hawke.
If Tarantino does appear in 鈥楤adlanders鈥 it would not be the first time the two directors have collaborated. Castellari鈥檚 1978 macaroni combat movie 鈥楺uel maledetto treno blindato鈥 (Inglorious Bastards) inspired Tarantino鈥檚 2009 war film 鈥業nglourious Basterds鈥, and Castellari played a cameo role of a Nazi general Tarantino鈥檚 movie.
