Quentin Tarantino Says His ‘Bounty Law’ Series Will Probably Still Happen In A Few Years

Filmmaker Quentin Tarantino has been doing a heap of various interviews, podcasts, and television appearances to promote the novelization of “Once Upon A Time In Hollywood.” He’s said some interesting things in every interview, such as potentially having Uma Thurman co-starring with her real daughter, Maya Hawke, in the long-teased “Kill Bill 3,” a desire to remake “First Blood” with Adam Driver and Kurt Russell in the lead roles, and the idea of remaking “Reservoir Dogs” with an all-Black cast for his final film before considering to a stage version instead.

During a lengthy interview with Deadline, Tarantino gave a sliver of an update about his “Bounty Law” series, a spinoff based on the faux Western series that starred Rick Dalton as Jake Cahill, a ruthless bounty hunter. He revealed that he has been busy with his books and that “Bounty Law” is still on his mind, though years away, while also mentioning that Sony expressed interest in making it.

“I don’t want to do it, now, and I was working on the book, and I’m still working on my cinema book. But I have those episodes written. Sony, with Tom Rothman, said, ‘We’ll make that show if you want to do it.’ It will probably be in a couple [of] years from now, so we’ll see,” Tarantino told Deadline said when asked about an update on his six-episode “Bounty Law” series.

Tarantino said in the past he would make the series regardless if Leonardo DiCaprio wasn’t interested in replaying the part of Rick Dalton. When asked about doing a project about Cliff Booth’s (Brad Pitt‘s character) war service outside of the book, a big part of the novelization, and how it would make a great movie, the filmmaker responded with, “Hmm. Someday I’ll do his adventure in the POW camp.” But presumably, that means writing yet another extended chapter or book about that specific adventure.

Will “Bounty Law” actually happen? Always be cautious with Tarantino promises because the success rate is low on them (see a treasure trove of projects he’s said he could make over the year that never happened here). That said, Tarantino’s teased in the past that even if he “retires” from feature-filmmaking, TV is still on the table. We’ll just have to be patient to see if it actually comes to fruition and who’ll he’ll ultimately select to play Jake Cahill, as getting DiCaprio to reprise the role will be extremely difficult.
