Tarantino: TV has caught up with me

Fans of Quentin Tarantino delight: the film-maker’s new project could be coming sooner than you think.

Notorious for long gaps between film projects, he recently said he is planning a TV series.

Saying some of his ideas are simply too big for film (Kill Bill had to be split into two after all), he admitted television intrigued him.

He is making a rare foray into it soon, directing and co-writing the series finale of CSI. In typically gruesome fashion, the show will focus on the abduction of team member Nick Stokes (George Eads), who will be buried alive by a psycho with a grudge, with only a gun for company.

It is up to Grissom and the posse to rescue him before the air runs out or he takes the only other option.

“This was testing the water,” says Tarantino. “TV has caught up with my aspirations. You could truly do these stories as a TV show."
