Even though [url="http://www.mtv.com/movies/person/100683/personmain.jhtml"]Quentin Tarantino[/url]'s last two films, "[url="http://www.mtv.com/movies/movie/404229/moviemain.jhtml"]Inglourious Basterds[/url]" and this December's "[url="http://www.mtv.com/movies/movie/476781/moviemain.jhtml"]Django Unchained[/url]," handle two wildly different historical periods, it's not difficult to see them as cut from the same cloth. Both deal with important periods of social injustice in a way that's completely irreverent and all Tarantino's own.

Now the writer-director has hinted that these similarities may not be just characteristics shared by two of his movies, but the making of a trilogy. Speaking with [url="http://www.totalfilm.com/news/quentin-tarantino-hints-at-inglourious-basterds-django-unchained-trilogy"]Total Film[/url], which just award him their Director of Our Lifetime honor, Tarantino opened up about the possibility of a third film in the vein of "Django" and "Basterds."



"I don't know, 'Inglourious Basterds' and 'Django Unchained' bespeak a trilogy," Tarantino said. "As different as they are, there is a companion piece quality. There might very well be a third one. I just don't know what it is yet."

But what would be next for Tarantino's potential trilogy? As [url="http://blogs.indiewire.com/theplaylist/quentin-tarantino-says-inglourious-basterds-django-unchained-could-be-first-two-parts-of-a-trilogy-20121029"]The Playlist[/url] points out, he has previously spoken about making a 1930s gangster flick and a adapting a Cold War spy novel by Len Deighton, and we can't help but imagine Christoph Waltz, the through-line for "Basterds" and "Django," appearing as an East German officer in the latter.

This talk of a trilogy is first solid word of what Tarantino would do post-"Django." He often addresses the much-rumor third "Kill Bill," but also says that he would like to wait longer before returning to the world of the Bride.
