I have followed Bobby's case from beginning to end. It simply doesn't strike me as being the kind of story which would feature Q's better strebgths. That said, what Bobby's got in him now from that wild ride is farking perfect for a character in a script I've written that could be astounding on screen and in the environment of the story itself. The story is a trilogy though, so maybe Q wouldn't be up to it, but I think he could give it the 'style' that would amplify even the subtlest aspects of the story. Anyway, I'm just a writer but familiar with Bobby's work and Q's sensabilities and so confident he could more than contend with any challenges the script may present.

QT has stated before that he hates bio-pics so I seriously doubt it's about the Blake story. A prison movie could be cool. Although my fingers are crossed for either his 30s gangster movie or the "straight-up horror" film he's spoken about. But "The Hateful Eight" was an incredible script, and I hope it's made sooner or later. 70mm definitely had a big thing to do with The Hateful Eight if you know the medium and the scope this gives to films. It would also be QT's first time using it. PTA's "The Master" was beautiful in 70mm.

This prison project sounds much better than another western. It's a bit like Natural Born Killers.

God, film nerds are annoying: "his proposed 70mm western…"etc… as if 70 mm had anything to do with the film itself. It's not like we refer to Stanley Kubrick's "70mm 2001". Although it does get used alot when talking about The Master.

like the sound of the new project, feels like a departure for QT. And Blake's fascinated me since his genius turn in Lost Highway, a wife killing tale, also featuring a cameo from Natalie Wood's daughter, brilliant.

Really hope he does his 1930s gangster pic next. Think he could do something really special with that one.
