How would you do better than Gert Frobe as GF? Or Diana Rigg as Tracy? Or even Jill St. John as Tiffany (underrated a bit, she is)? It's a better idea to do something else entirely.
The only period adaptations I would like to see would be animated films.
I definitely do not want animated Bond films. Period pieces with real actors and a decent production design sounds good enough for me.
I'd love to see Bond as a period piece with real actors, but it ain't gonna happen unfortunately.
A really well made animated series would be the next best thing IMO.
Oh no! That would be cringe :-SS
Not much different to a graphic novel I would have thought. I quite like the thought of an animated Horak strip myself...
As @Creasy47 said before, it should be interesting. I hope certain actors get cast. Bruce Willis, Samuel L. Jackson, hopefully Christoph Waltz will be back. Although, I heard a rumor that CW and QT weren't getting along for one reason or another. That's why CW wasn't in TH8 or OUATIH. It's a bit of a shame. I wonder if the writers and actors strikes will affect his movie.
IB is my favourite movie EVER and the first scene is my favourite scene. Pure perfection.
@goldenswissroyale and @peter
That first scene is outstanding in every . possible . regard! Acting, directing, editing, writing, ... I can play it over and over again and never be bored. I recall thinking when I first saw the movie, almost instantly, that this scene drew a line between 'young' QT and mature QT. I recall thinking that master-photographer Stanley Kubrick would have admired this scene (and probably the full film too.)
Another part of IB that I find outstanding is the tavern scene. This was the first time that I took notice of one Michael Fassbender, who would soon impress me as Magneto in First Class. Like Waltz in the opening scene of the film, August Diehl plays such a charming yet threatening presence that I'm never sure whether I should like or hate the man. QT is definitely in control of his words, his pacing, and his every impulse as a filmmaker.
Despite all the above, I still think that PF is my favorite QT film. Call it a generational thing. That film left such an impression on my teenage self when it was released that I'll probably forever worship it as a cult experience.
But the best QT film, IMO, is JB. It didn't start out that way; I was 16 when it came out and at 16, one doesn't contemplate life the way JB does. But with the passing of time, I must admit, I find myself much more emotionally involved in the characters of Pam Grier and Robert Forster. Every time I revisit JB, I am more invested in the film than the time before. I admire the choice of music, the acting, the celebration of the "forgotten" blaxploitation genre, ...
TH8 is another favorite of mine. I simply love the mystery and how it plays out as one big theatre play. I'm also very fond of Django Unchained. All in all, I have a great fondness for everything QT has done so far as a director. I guess my least favorite film of his -- though I still wouldn't call the film "bad" -- is DP, simply because it has so little going on.
I was also around 16 when I watched JB for the first time. I liked it but wasn't a fan. I rewatched it a few years back and I was also more interested in the characters then. It is still not a favourite but another (mostly) very good Tarantino movie.
And yes, I also like the mistery/crime aspect of TH8.
I wonder if Travolta is a Vega relative. I’d take all 3 of them. For returning QT names I'd like: Christopher Walken, Michael Keaton, Kurt Russell, Christoph Waltz, Steve Buscemi, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Leonardo DiCaprio, Margot Robbie, and hopefully Bruce Willis. Newcomers I’d want are Harrison Ford, Mark Hamill, Robert Downey Jr, Michael Shannon, Hayley Atwell, Paul Dano and Melissa Benoist.
I do see JB and TH8 as the 2 most underrated QT movies. They have a different look and feel than QT's other films. Meanwhile I see IB as his most overrated movie. It's like another 2009 movie in one way: Avatar. Both movies have the director getting lost in their ego, by extending things too much. At least QT wrote an original story.
I could see SLJ getting a big role in the movie. Apparently, he gets referenced as a young actor that Rick Dalton worked with in his upcoming book: The Films of Rick Dalton.

I almost forgot about that book. Can't wait to check it out. Finally read OUATIH and Tarantino's Cinema Speculation recently and loved them both.
I can't wait either. I'm a bit surprised that we haven't heard more about it. In the meantime, we have this to look forward to next year.

At the risk of sounding controversial, if QT wanted to call OUATIH as his last movie, I'd be OK with it. He goes out on a high note like he wants, and there are enough movies that are great with his name attached. I'd love to see him keep writing books, as writing is his greatest strength. I'm still hoping for the prequel Double V Vega get adapted into a book or graphic novel. There's already a built in audience. Here's to hoping, as he did a sequel, Django/Zorro. A lot of his characters could have continuation stories.
Me too. It would be interesting to have QT to write a short story novel. His other possible projects I'd like to see are him trying a futuristic science fiction story, as it's out of his usual zone. I'd also like to see him write novelizations of Reservoir Dogs and True Romance, as I wish he would go back to crime dramas/dark comedy. Westerns are getting a bit repetitive with him. While QT will retire as a film director, he can have success with stage adaptations of his movies. Having him direct RD, TH8 and OUATIH can make him successful across all forms of media. Other characters (other than the Vega Bros) I would like to see are Kill Bill Volume 3 and Django in White Hell. These would be great graphic novels, considering QT's love of comics. On a sad note, we have to remember that QT loves to talk A LOT about possible projects.

Give me all of these and I'd be a very happy fan.
I’d say most.

Django’s story so far.
Unfortunately, in the years since he's become negative about adapting other people's material since he's not creating the story from scratch: https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/quentin-tarantino-shared-jackie-brown-put-off-adapting-novels-into-films.html/
I'm not understanding why he can't just put his ego aside and do this project (or adaptations of other novels, like any of the Modesty Blaise books), but I've gotten the impression from interviews that it's because he gets annoyed when people tell him that Jackie Brown is his best movie (it is).
OK, that would be the one time I'd like to see QT do another western. Like Bond, (of which he's also a known fan) I still will give anything with his name on it a try. Only Batman and Superman are arguably the few other names that can get me that excited in the media, along with Bond and QT.
I knew Natural Born Killers won't be on his list.

I won't be interested in a QT Star Trek movie.
People change their minds and when people are passionate about what they do, they are often pulled back. He will likely continue getting new ideas for films in years to come. I predict he is thekind of guy that won't be able to resist making another.
In the buildup to this one, he's mentioned a couple of times it'll be his final film. He's seemed pretty strict about that principle for some time now. Who knows though, could always change a few years after this one releases and he's missing the game, though I know he's already got plenty of other books, screenplays, and maybe even a TV series in the works.
Right now he seems far more interested in doing his podcast with Roger Avary and writing books. Sadly, I think he's pretty awful in the latter category and desperately needs a good editor.
