Payne has long wanted to tackle the Western genre and is currently conceiving the film.
The Big Picture Academy Award-winning director Alexander Payne has largely lived in the world of comedy with acclaimed titles like Sideways, The Descendants, and, most recently, his Toronto International Film Festival entry The Holdovers. One of his next projects, however, will finally give the director a chance to explore a genre he's always wanted to — the Western.
Don't expect to see the Western for a while though as Payne hasn't nailed down specifics. After being asked what he'll bring to the genre, the director wasn't certain, though he noted he'd like to aim for a traditional western as compared to something like Viggo Mortensen's TIFF entry The Dead Don't Hurt. "Who the hell knows?" Payne added. "Obviously, it’ll be as filtered through me, but I like traditional Westerns. I like good traditional Westerns.
