Quentin Tarantino wants to do a Slavery Western movie

Director Quentin Tarantino is now eying to make Western movie with a controversial theme about slavery.

Tarantino told NY Daily News, "I'd like to do a Western. But rather than set it in Texas, have it in slavery times. With that subject that everybody is afraid to deal with. Let's shine that light on ourselves. You could do a ponderous history lesson of slaves escaping on the Underground Railroad. Or, you could make a movie that would be exciting. Do it as an adventure. A spaghetti Western that takes place during that time. And I would call it 'A Southern.'"

This will be very interesting in which it will create different opinions and facts.
