Title: A Total Custerfuck

Tagline: “So Sioux me!”

We open on the Battle Of The Little Bighorn, the odious General Custer (Steve Buscemi) deservedly killed by the Lakota and northern Cheyenne Sioux following his policy of targeting their women and children in territorial disputes. But the Sioux forces know the backlash is coming, and their leaders – Crazy Horse, Chief Gall and spiritual leader Sitting Bull – use guerrilla tactics to take down the 7th cavalry and delivered their heads to Washington, where the President and Supreme Court promise to hold to the Treaty this time.

This isn’t so far-fetched: Tarantino said at a BAFTA Q&A that, “I could see myself doing another western, actually! I wouldn’t mind doing a couple more before everything’s all said and done. I’d like to do at least one or not two more that deal with the same issue – just different story, different characters.” And if he’s cinematically righting great injustices, the Great Sioux War is a good place to start.

Tarantino cameo: A washed-up Aussie in Custer’s regiment who runs away to report his leader’s defeat. “They’ve only bloody gone and lost some big horn or something, cobber!”

Christoph Waltz role: One of the real-life surgeons with Custer’s regiment was a Dr DeWolf – which sounds perfect for Waltz.
