Quentin Tarantino is in early talks to direct one or two episodes of the series Justified: City Primeval. The move fits very nice with in Tarantino’s pre-established work. Tarantino and Olyphant worked together on his most recent film Once Upon A. Time in Hollywood. Also, Tarantino himself is a fan of Leonards work adapted his novel Rum Punch into the film Jackie Brown. He also at one point considered directing an adaption of another one of his novels Forty Lashes Less One.
The series is based off the novel City primeval: High Noon in Detroit although the series witches out the books protagonist for an original character. The show returns to Givens’ story eight years after he left Kentucky and now is based in Miami, balancing life as a marshal and part-time father of a 14-year-old girl. A chance encounter on a Florida highway sends him to Detroit, where he crosses paths with Clement Mansell, aka The Oklahoma Wildman, a violent sociopath who’s already slipped through the fingers of Detroit’s finest once and wants to do so again.
Olyphant’s Givens lives in a contemporary setting, but the character is right out of the ’60s Westerns that Tarantino celebrated in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. This could be very interesting. Tarantino has selectively directed episodes of shows he’s liked, including “Motherhood” during the first season of ER, and CSI‘s “Grave Dangers”.
With Tarantino repeatedly saying he will retire after ten films it’s nice to know that he will continue to direct media after his film career has ended.
