It's April 27th. Welcome to Entertainment and Celebrity News today, powered by AI. I'm Cory with the story. Hollywood's on a roll with sequels to Quentin Tarantino's fan-favor characters, but without the man himself calling the shots. Sony's kicking off early development on a Django and Zoro Cross Overflick pulled straight from that 2014 comic series by Tarantino and Matt Wagner, Oscar winner Brian Helkelyn from LA. Confidential is scripting it, and Tarantino's given the green light even though he's sitting this one out. This picks up from Django Unchained, Tarantino's 2012 hit, where Jamie Foxx played the slave-turned bounty hunter rescuing his wife in the Burstee, mid-19th century south. In the comic follow-up, Django hunts bad guys and crosses paths with the swashbuckling vigilante Don Diego de la Vega, the man behind the Zoro Mask. Things are buzzing because Antonio Banderas, who played Zoro in the 98 Mask of Zoro, once said Tarantino pitched him the idea and called it.

Fantastic, funny, and crazy. Comedian Jared Carmichael, who helped develop an early version with Tarantino, raved about their script, saying it had blockbuster potential worth. $500 million after wild nights, watching exploitation flicks and sipping fresh lemonade. Meanwhile, Netflix is dropping Davey Fincher's take on Cliff Booth from once upon a time in Hollywood later this year, showing this trend of extending. Tarantino's universe is picking up steam. It's early days for Django and Zoro, but with HellGlan at the helm and Tarantino's nod, this could whip up some serious Western crossover magic on. The big screen.
