From the intricate characters to the memorable locations, Quentin Tarantino’s Kill Bill is one of those films that deserve a franchise.
While Kill Bill was released in two parts, it was originally one epic movie. For years we’ve been promised a single, uncensored cut of the film, but have been neglected this version as Dimension Films doesn’t give a crap about home video.
Tarantino has always been frank that, as well as a single cut, we could see a third “volume” of Kill Bill. Shit, he even once teased an all-animated version.
Now, ahead of the release of Hateful Eight, Tarantino chatted it up with Ben Mankiewicz of “What The Flick?!,” where he reveals his aspirations for another Kill Bill.
Most notable is that he’s always felt that Uma Thurman’s character, Beatrix, deserved a break from the hell she’s been put through.
“There’s definitely a possibility — stop short of saying a probability,” Tarantino explains (at the 58-minute mark). “I put the character of Beatrix Kiddo through a lot, and so I wanted her to have this much time for peace. I wanted her to have some time with her daughter and not have to be in the genre machine.
“She can actually enjoy her life for awhile,” he adds before confirming that it would take place during a modern time period.
In the 2003 film, the “Bride” awakens from a four-year coma. The child she carried in her womb is gone. Now she must wreak vengeance on the team of assassins who betrayed her – a team she was once part of.
It’s been over 10 years since the release of Kill Bill and this has proven that it’s not only a classic, but a masterpiece. Tarantino calls it his most “visionary cinematic contribution.”
