News: A "Django" Sequel?

Yes, but not the Django you're thinking of. 

John Sayles (Lone Star, Sunshine State) has been hired to write Django Lives!, a third installment in the classic spaghetti Western series preceded by 1966's Django and 1987's Django 2.

Franco Nero will return to his role as the outlaw Civil War soldier with blood-soaked hands, a role he originated almost five decades ago. No director has been attached. 

“John Sayles is a master of literature,” said Nero. “His Lone Star is one of the greatest modern Westerns ever shot. He knows how to be exquisitely cultivated and people-oriented at the same time, exactly like another master I’ve worked with, Mr. Orson Welles. And that says a lot.”

Sayles is a highly regarded screenwriter nominated for an Oscar for writing Lone Star, a modern Western that he also directed. He has written the likes of Matewan, Eight Men Out,  Sunshine State, Go for Sisters. He got his start in horror, with his first credit being the original Piranha, and he also co-wrote The Howling.

Louis Black, Carolyn Pfeiffer, David Hollander, and Nancy P. Sanders will produce. Nero's original is one of the most influential films of the genre, and inspired Quentin Tarantino's Django Unchained.
