Last year’s Django Unchained was one of Quentin Tarantino’s most financially successful films in his illustrious career, grossing more than $425 million worldwide. However you may feel about it (I personally felt mixed about it), Django was one of Tarantino’s favorites. On The Tonight Show, he announced his plans for his next film to be in the Western genre. The director elaborates:

I haven’t told anyone this publicly, but I will say the genre: It’s a western. I had so much fun doing Django, and I love westerns so much that after I taught myself how to make one, it’s like ‘OK! Let me make another one now that I know what I’m doing,’

There are no plot details yet, but Tarantino has said the film will not be a sequel to Django Unchained, which is more than alright with me. However, this means that his previous plans to revisit the World War II setting. Watch the full interview with Jay Leno below!
