Filmmaker Quentin Tarantino has revealed that he is dabbling in television again as he is looking to shoot an eight-episode TV series next year.
Tarantino shared news of the project last night while promoting his new book “Cinema Speculation” at a New York event (via Variety). Specifics of the series weren’t forthcoming, but it won’t mark his first foray on the small screen.
Previously he helmed an episode of “ER” in 1995, and the double-episode fifth season finale of “CSI” in 2005. More recently, he was rumored to be in talks to helm instalments of FX’s “Justified” revival. However, like his interest in doing a potential “Star Trek” film entry, it didn’t pan out.
Tarantino also guest starred on various shows over the years, most notably multiple episode appearances on beloved J.J. Abrams-produced espionage series “Alias”. He also revealed at the event he was approached to do a rewrite of Samuel L. Jackson’s 2000 “Shaft” reboot – but he rejected the offer.
Finally, asked what comic book he would adapt if given the choice, he responded with Marvel’s “Sgt. Fury and His Howling Commandos”.
