ScreenCrush wraps up the latest in movies and TV you might have missed. Today, Quentin Tarantino confirms his next project, 'The Jungle Book' casts two noteworthy actors, and Homer Simpson himself appears at Comic-Con.

FEATURED: Quentin Tarantino confirms 'The Hateful Eight' and expresses his interest in making a science-fiction movie.

If you had asked me a few years ago I would have said: “Nah, not really, I don’t know.” But i have a little idea right now. It’s a little flower, you know, like a bean sprout, but those tend to grow into stalks. So this is the first time I’ll be able to say “maybe”. It won’t be a spaceship sci-fi, it’ll be Earthbound.

SlashFilm has the whole story.
