Quentin Tarantino has become one of the most respected filmmakers of his generation as well as one of the most controversial ones, all thanks to his unique narrative and visual style and the amount of violence and blood in each one of his movies.
Quentin Tarantino has a long list of unmade projects, and these go from sequels and spinoffs of his own works to original stories, adaptations of other works, and even projects from major franchises – and here are some titles from the latter category.
