Quentin Tarantino in talks to direct Timothy Olyphant’s Justified return

February 25, 2022 by Matt Rodgers

It was reported in January that Timothy Olyphant is set to don the hat and return as Sheriff Raylan Givens for a limited series relocating the lawman to Detroit. If that wasn’t exciting enough, news has just broken that Quentin Tarantino is in early talks to direct episodes of Justified: City Primeval.

According to Variety the Pulp Fiction director is in talks to direct one or two episodes of the revival show, which would reunite him with his Once Upon A Time in Hollywood… star Olyphant, and once again see him bring to life the works of Elmore Leonard, which he did so triumphantly with 1997’s Jackie Brown, which was an adaptation of Rum Punch.

Justified: City Primeval would also see Tarantino return to the small screen for the first time since 2005’s critically acclaimed ‘Grave Danger’ double-bill of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation.

Justified: City Primeval will be based on Leonard’s book City Primeval and follows “Givens eight years after he left Kentucky behind. He now lives in Miami, a walking anachronism balancing his life as a U.S. Marshal and part-time father of a 14-year-old girl. His hair is grayer, his hat is dirtier, and the road in front of him is suddenly a lot shorter than the road behind. A chance encounter on a desolate Florida highway sends him to Detroit. There he crosses paths with Clement Mansell, aka The Oklahoma Wildman, a violent, sociopathic desperado who’s already slipped through the fingers of Detroit’s finest once and aims to do so again. Mansell’s lawyer, formidable Motor City native Carolyn Wilder, has every intention of representing her client, even as she finds herself caught in between cop and criminal, with her own game afoot as well.”

Justified premiered on FX in 2010 and ran for six seasons. The series, which was an adaptation of Elmore Leonard’s short story ‘Fire in the Hole’, followed Olyphant’s Givens as he was reassigned back to his hometown of Harlan County where he continuously pursued notorious criminal Boyd Crowder, played  by Walter Goggins, an old friend from his youth, among other criminals, drug gangs and crime families.
