Quentin Tarantino Planning ‘Inglourious Basterds’ Spin-Off ‘Killer Crow’

If you’re a fan of Quentin Tarantino’s work, there’s no doubt you’re a fan of Inglourious Basterds. Well, while doing press for his latest film Django Unchained, the director has revealed plans for an Inglourious Basterds spin-off titled Killer Crow that will be set in 1944 after Normandy. The director told The Root:

“I don’t know exactly when I’m going to do it, but there’s something about this that would suggest a trilogy. My original idea for Inglourious Basterds way back when was that this [would be] a huge story that included the [smaller] story that you saw in the film, but also followed a bunch of black troops, and they had been f–ked over by the American military and kind of go apes–t. They basically — the way Lt. Aldo Raines (Brad Pitt) and the Basterds are having an “Apache resistance” — [the] black troops go on an Apache warpath and kill a bunch of white soldiers and white officers on a military base and are just making a warpath to Switzerland.”

So that was always going to be part of it. And I was going to do it as a miniseries, and that was going to be one of the big storylines. When I decided to try to turn it into a movie, that was a section I had to take out to help tame my material. I have most of that written. It’s ready to go; I just have to write the second half of it.”

Tarantino also added that Killer Crow would definitely be connected to Inglourious Basterds because well, the Basterds would be in it. But he made sure to point out that while they would appear the movie was still “about the soldiers.” Here’s to hoping he gets to work on that second half soon.
