Tarantino could make third alternate history movie ‘KILLER CROW’ featuring black US soldiers in 1944

There is a chance that Quinto ain’t done remaking history. In a new interview, the Man Who Shot Hitler 3,000 Times has spoken about a potential spin-off from Basterds that would feature a squad of black US soldiers in 1944.

Speaking to Henry Louis Gates Jr. at The Root (via Movieline) Tarantino gives a revealing interview, and explains that he might follow his two recent films with a third featuring the same historical bent:

I don’t know exactly when I’m going to do it, but there’s something about this that would suggest a trilogy. My original idea for Inglourious Basterds way back when was that this [would be] a huge story that included the [smaller] story that you saw in the film, but also followed a bunch of black troops, and they had been f–ked over by the American military and kind of go apes–t. They basically — the way Lt. Aldo Raine (Brad Pitt) and the Basterds are having an “Apache resistance” — [the] black troops go on an Apache warpath and kill a bunch of white soldiers and white officers on a military base and are just making a warpath to Switzerland.

So that was always going to be part of it. And I was going to do it as a miniseries, and that was going to be one of the big storylines. When I decided to try to turn it into a movie, that was a section I had to take out to help tame my material. I have most of that written. It’s ready to go; I just have to write the second half of it.

He says this would be set in ’44, after the invasion of Normandy.

Looking back to statements made before Basterds was scripted and shot, the director said in ’07,

I want to explore something that really hasn’t been done… I want to do movies that deal with America’s horrible past with slavery and stuff but do them like spaghetti westerns, not like big issue movies. I want to do them like they’re genre films, but they deal with everything that America has never dealt with because it’s ashamed of it, and other countries don’t really deal with because they don’t feel they have the right to.
