When it comes to superhero movies and TV shows, it seems safe to say that Smallville was way ahead of the pack.

The Western is the first genre since his early gangster movies that Quentin Tarantino has returned to. After Jackie Brown, Tarantino made a kung fu movie (Kill Bill, which the director considers to be one piece, despite being released in two parts), then made a grindhouse exploitation slasher (Death Proof), a World War II bunch-of-guys-on-a-mission epic (Inglourious Basterds), then a Spaghetti Western (Django Unchained) — and then he followed it up with another Western....

Like any organization, team, or business, production companies are given budgets for the movies they’re producing.
