Filmmaker Quentin Tarantino will shoot scenes for his upcoming film in Jackson, Wyoming, a production company told the Jackson Hole Daily.

A publicist for the project "Django Unchained" confirmed the director would film a small part of the film that calls for snow.

Tarantino is best known for "Pulp Fiction" and the "Kill Bill" movies, as well as the Oscar-winning "Inglourious Basterds."

"Django Unchained" is a remake of an Italian spaghetti western about a slave-turned-bounty-hunter who sets out to rescue his wife from a brutal Mississippi plantation owner.

The majority of the filming is set to take place in New Orleans starting in February.

The cast features Jamie Foxx, Leonardo DiCaprio, Kurt Russell, Samuel L. Jackson and Kerry Washington, according to the Internet Movie Database website.

Details of when the cast will be in Wyoming and where they might be shooting have not been released.
