Quentin Tarantino has reportedly hired a writer to pen a movie adaptation of his
Django/Zorro Dynamite/DC Vertigo comic series.
According to
Collider, the
One Upon a Time... In Hollywood director has enlisted Jerrod Carmichael (
Ramy, the
48 Hours remake) to pen the screenplay for the film, which would serve as a sequel to 2012's
Django Unchained. In the comic, Django (Jamie Foxx) continues his career as a bounty hunter and teams-up with an ageing Diego de la Vega, aka the legendary Zorro, to free the local indigenous people from slavery.
It doesn't sound like this project is officially a go at Sony just yet, and if it is it's in the very early stages of development. It's also unclear if Tarantino intends to helm the film himself, although it's certainly possible. The director has always maintained that he'd retire after his 10th film, and after
OUATIH, there's one more spot on the list.

Django/Zorro movie? Sound off below.
