Tarantino wraps up Wyoming filming for new movie (omg!)

JACKSON, Wyo. (AP) ? Director Quentin Tarantino has wrapped up filming for his new movie in Wyoming, including a scene at the National Elk Refuge.

The Jackson Hole News & Guide (http://bit.ly/AjJTgX) reported that the "Django Unchained" cast and crew were in the Jackson area last week and decided to add a scene at the refuge.

The crew saw the elk from the highway and asked for permission to have the actors walking and riding horses among the animals, refuge director Steve Kallin said. He said that was denied because it could have caused a disturbance but they were allowed to shoot some footage with elk and bison in the background at the refuge's northern feedground.

"We did have very tightly controlled access and ensured there was no disturbance to the elk or bison," he said.

The movie is a remake of a spaghetti western about a slave who becomes a bounty hunter, with Jamie Foxx in the title role. Leonardo DiCaprio and Samuel L. Jackson also have roles in the movie, which is mostly being filmed in New Orleans.

Other Wyoming scenes were shot at the Bar BC Ranch and Kelly Warm Springs in Grand Teton National Park.

The production company spent more than $500,000 in Wyoming, which qualifies it to receive a 15 percent rebate, said Michelle Howard of the Wyoming Film Office.
