From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.The curtains might have only just parted on Quentin Tarantino’s eighth film The Hateful Eight (it feels okay to use that anachronistic phrase given the movie has an overture and intermission), but he’s already been drawn into questions about his ninth.
“I do have an idea for an Australian film that would take place in the '30s,” he told So, Is It Any Good?.
“It would be a Bonnie and Clyde-ish sort of story set with a couple of outlaws in Australia. We'll see whatever happens.”
News of Tarantino’s next project is of particular interest as it could be his last but one.
Though he hasn’t ruled out making more, the director has repeatedly stated a desire to only make 10 films, before moving into theatre or perhaps publishing a novel.
Whether or not he moves forward with Australia-set idea, I’m sure he’s already thought about how it would link together with the rest of his oeuvre (which sees several characters from different films related to each other, e.g. Pulp Fiction’s Vincent Vega and Reservoir Dogs’ Vic Vega).
The 1930s period most likely suggests ties with Inglorious Basterds, which took place during the Second World War.
Earlier in the week, we learned from the man himself that Tarantino’s films share not one universe, but two.
