Takashii Miike and the western DJANGO are a match made in heaven. If you’ve never seen DJANGO (or any of its pseudo sequels), it’s a massively violent spaghetti western so bloody it almost spills into horror territory.
Miike, as we all know, is a madman who has tackled just about every genre possible – and added his own unique spin to each. So now he’s taking on an English-language Western (starring mostly Japanese actors) that’s sure to be as electrifying and insane as his other pictures, and who better to be a part of it than our own Quentin Tarantino. Screen Daily is reporting that QT has just finished filming his role in SUKIYAKI WESTERN: DJANGO, apparently Miike’s most expensive film to date.
Sony Pictures International Japan is releasing DJANGO this September overseas. No word on when we’ll get to see it, but you’ll certainly know when we do.
“This is… Sukiyaki Westerrrnnn…”
