Filmmaker says the sequel is due out ... in 2014?!
October 1, 2009 - Oscar-winning filmmaker Quentin Tarantino has confirmed that he will indeed make Kill Bill 3.
Entertainment Weekly reports that, while appearing on the Italian talk show Parla Con Me, Tarantino said "he will make another installment of his successful Kill Bill series, but that he wants there to be a 10-year break between the second and third film."
"That would put Kill Bill 3 with a 2014 release date and his star Uma Thurman at 44, just the right age to kick more ass," EW points out.
Maybe by then we'll finally see the home video release of Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair, the long-awaited box set that would combine both Kill Bill Vol. 1 and Kill Bill Vol. 2 into one big film. Or perhaps now Tarantino will wait even longer to release it so as to include the third film in it.
What might the story be for the third installment? Well, Tarantino himself has reportedly said that a sequel might revolve around Nikki Bell's quest to avenge the death of her mom Vernita Green (Vivica A. Fox) at the hands of The Bride in Vol. 1. Rumors swirled at the time of the first film's release that Tarantino had shot additional scenes with Ambrosia Kelley, the actress who played young Nikki, because he wanted to use the character in a future sequel.
/Film reported in June 2007 that Kill Bill executive producer E. Bennet Walsh revealed that Tarantino had "formulated the plots for two sequels which he plans to film in China. According to our friends at FilmIck, Kill Bill: Volume 3 would be the revenge story of two Crazy 88s killers whose arms and eyes were hacked by Uma Thurman in the first volume. Kill Bill Volume 4 would than focus on the battle between the daughters of Beatrix Kiddo and Vernita Green, an idea which Tarantino had been very vocal about during the film's theatrical release."
