Quentin Tarantino says that he would love to work with Johnny Depp and reveals that the pair have talked about it for years.
Tarantino is back in the director's chair this new year as he helms Django Unchained.
The movie once again sees him team up with some big names including Jamie Foxx and Leonardo DiCaprio but it is Depp that he now really wants to work with.
Speaking to chatshow host Charlie Rose the director said: "We would love to work together. We've talked about it for years.
"Not that we get together and talk about it for years, but from time to time. We're obviously fans of each other. It just needs to be the right character.
"I just need to write the right character that I think Johnny would be the right guy to do it with. And if he agrees, then we'll do it. And then it'll be magical.
"I haven't written the perfect character for Johnny Depp as of yet. Maybe someday I will, maybe someday I won't. We'll see."
Django Unchained has been whipping up a storm with the critics and could well find itself in Oscar contender when the nominations are revealed later this month.
As for Tarantino this is the first movie for him since he enjoyed huge box office success with Inglourious Basterds.
Django Unchained is released 18th January.
