EXCLUSIVE: Deadline hears that Quentin Tarantino is in early talks to direct one or two episodes of ‘Justified: City Primeval,’ the FX limited series that reunites Timothy Olyphant with his six-gun as U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens

with his six-gun as U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens. No one was commenting.

While most felt like Tarantino’s next turn behind the camera would be his final feature film, there is a lot of symmetry here. Tarantino and Olyphant worked together on the director’s last film,, who created the Givens character. Tarantino adapted the Leonard novel.

The show returns to Givens’ story eight years after he’s left Kentucky and now is based in Miami, balancing life as a marshal and part-time father of a 14-year-old girl. A chance encounter on a Florida highway sends him to Detroit and he crosses paths with Clement Mansell, aka The Oklahoma Wildman, a violent sociopath who’s already slipped through the fingers of Detroit’s finest once and wants to do so again.

Olyphant’s Givens lives in a contemporary setting, but the character is right out of the 60s Westerns that Tarantino celebrated in. This could be very interesting. Tarantino has selectively directed episodes of shows he’s liked, includingSarah Timberman and Carl Beverly are also executive producers, alongside Peter Leonard, Taylor Elmore and Chris Provenzano. Walter Mosley is consulting producer and V.J. Boyd, Eisa Davis and Ingrid Escajeda are writers.

Six-gun. Ah, yes. Glock's legendary revolver line!
