Tarantino Lashed

It looks increasingly likely that Quentin Tarantino's next film will be an adaptation of the Elmore Leonard western, Forty Lashes Less One. He's been rumoured to have been working on the script for the last year, and now it looks as though he'll be directing it as well. On top of that, Tarantino is also trying to wrangle a co-lead alongside Robert De Niro in another Leonard adaptation, Kill Shot. Tony Scott is said to be interested in directing, but when you look at De Niro's schedule - he's booked up for the next two years.
