Quentin Tarantino is to flex his acting chops once again as he has confirmed thathe will cameo in Franco Nero’s next western, THE ANGEL, THE BRUTE AND THE WISE.
Speaking to Box Office Magazine, Nero said: “I said ‘Quentin, we are going to do a western. It would be an homage to Sergio Leone and John Huston, the director that discovered me, and would you be so kind to play a cameo?’ And he said…‘Oh, great, so I can come with Robert Rodriguez and my friends to play them?’ I said, yeah! That would be great!”
Hang on, Robert Rodriguez acting? That would be a first. The roles would see Tarantino, Rodriguez and possible Eli Roth (?) playing a trio of bandits killed off in a number of creative way.
Nero made a spectacular breakthrough early in his career with Django, a film which piggybacked on the success of Sergio Leone’s Dollars films and went on to be one of the highest-grossing films in the world. He subsequently appeared in films from directors from all over the world, making him an international superstar and a cinematic icon. Nero said that despite Tarantino’s obsession with cult icons like himself, it took considerable time and effort to get the two of them together.
Tarantino will next direct a ‘southern’ entitled DJANGO UNCHAINED, seemingly inspired by DJANGO.
