The comic series Django/Zorro is headed to the big screen, courtesy of Quentin Tarantino and Jerrod Carmichael. Carmichael has been tapped to write the script, but it’s unclear if Tarantino will co-write with him. It’s also unclear if Tarantino plans to direct the potential movie, or if he will simply hand the project off to someone else. The film is based on the comic sequel to Tarantino’s Django Unchained, and focuses on that film’s lead character teaming up with the legendary Zorro.
Collider is reporting that a Django/Zorro movie is officially happening. The sourcing here is a bit confusing, but per Collider’s story, multiple sources say “the film adaptation is real and that Carmichael is working on the script, though they differ on whether he’s writing it on his own with oversight from Tarantino, or co-writing with Quentin himself as well as another, as-yet-unidentified writer.” So there you have it – this exists, and Tarantino may or may not be working on it, but Jerrod Carmichael definitely is.
In addition to the question of Tarantino’s involvement, several other questions arise: will Jamie Foxx reprise his role from Django Unchained? Who will play Zorro? We’ll have to wait for these answers.
