Third ‘Kill Bill’ Still in the Cards, Says Quentin Tarantino

Uma Thurman in Kill Bill

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.”

Legendary Grimdark ‘Warhammer 40,000’ Artist John Blanche Has Passed Away at 78

Published

In the grim darkness of the far future there is only war, but it was a cheerful illustrator from England who helped to define the terrifying war-torn imagery that inspired what we now know as Grimdark (a hybrid genre combining horror with sci-fi/fantasy).

Unfortunately for fans of Warhammer 40,000, Trench Crusade and countless other sources of Grimdark thrills, veteran artist John Blanche passed away this week after struggling with health issues for the past few years.

While the artist retired back in 2023, he leaves us with an enormous legacy of iconic artwork that continues to inspire gamers and storytellers around the world to this very day.

The news is especially gloomy as it was only last year that Daniel Lowman and Napoleon Dynamite himself Jon Heder released The Grim & the Dark: The Search for John Blanche, a documentary following Heder’s exploration of the Grimdark genre culminating in a heartwarming encounter with Blanche in his own home.

Below is one of my favorite pieces by Blanche, his highly influential depiction of Warhammer 40k’s God-Emperor of Mankind on his Golden Throne.

We send our deepest condolences to John Blanche’s family, friends, and fans.
