Castellari wants to shoot his next western in Almeria
with Quentin Tarantino
The Italian director was honored yesterday at the Almerian
Western Film Festival in Tabernas
Enzo G. Castellari
received a career achievement award from Paco Ardura.
The most awaited moment in the program of the fourth
edition of Almería Western Film Festival had come. The Italian director and
producer, Enzo G. Castellari, who has a "great affection" to this province
because of the films he has shot here, did not disappoint in his speech. So
much so that he explained to all present there, his intention is to film in
Almeria with Quentin Tarantino as an actor, like he has with important actors
like Franco Nero western, Terrence Hill and Bud Spencer.
It all started about 6:30 p.m. in the afternoon. The
chosen place, the best possible, the studios of Fort Bravo. The directorial
'wizard' of European Westerns. After a video tribute of some of his best titles
and words of thanks from both Juan Gabriel Garcia, host of the event, and
Victor Matellano, film director Paco Ardura, one of the most prominent names in
the world of Almería theater, Castellari spoke.
The Italian was visibly moved after hearing the words of
thanks and praise of his colleagues in Almeria, Enzo thanked those which hosted
the festival and which award was presented from the hands of his "friend"
Ardura the 'statue' for his entire professional film career and of course, his
relationship with Almería.
The honoree of the fourth edition of the festival
affectionately recalled his many visits to the locations in Almeria and did not
hesitate to affirm that "Almeria has some ideal locations that no other
country can offer, which is
impressive."
Recalling his beginnings in the genre in his younger
years, Enzo G. Castellari undertook his trip down memory lane for the moments
when he filmed in Almería after first coming in 1963 "I remember at the
time of high rate of production in western Almería, in the Grand Hotel we
concentrated and informed you all where we were shooting, the atmosphere was
great, "noted film director.
Then came the surprise of the event, although already
having heard something they wanted to shoot in Almeria lands, Enzo Castellari
was confirmed with a resounding phrase: "I want to come back here and next
time around say the word action!".

But the surprise was not that his homage. The acclaimed
filmmaker said in the saloon at Fort Bravo it will also feature Quentin
Tarantino as an actor for his film. That's when more than 100 people packed the
room started clapping incessantly.
It was not only unique that Castellari revealed some of
the scenes he had thought in his mind for his film and named important actors
Franco Nero, Terrence Hill and Bud Spencer. "All these actors of the
western world called to me to ask if they can participate even as a
helper," the director recounted.
A film which he himself confirmed, wants the new poster
that comes in the V edition of the festival,
along with all the players who
will also be here year.
After Enzo G. Castellari spoke, the public had the
opportunity to ask lquestions. Finally, the third day of the festival ended
with a showing in Fort Bravo movie “Kill Them All and Come Back Alive”,
directed by the star of the day.
