Tarantino The Tease
Quentin Tarantino has been pretty aloof when discussing how he plans to end his film-making career.
After this year’s Once Upon A Time…In Hollywood marked is 9th feature he plans to make one more movie and then call it a career.
Consider this: If he was to do just one more movie how would we want him to go out?
John Travolta and Micheal Madsen are too far past their prime to do a Vega Brother‘s sequel/prequel.
Pulp Fiction and Jackie Brown are best left alone.
Ditto Reservoir Dogs and Inglourious Basterds
There have already been too many sequels to From Dusk to Dawn plus a TV show
Grindhouse and Death Proof are already good enough in the movie culture as were The Hateful Eight and Once Upon A Time…In Hollywood.
Django Unchained was probably his strongest all-around outing since the turn of the century but that the world has been covered enough for now.
But what about Kill Bill?
What about the idea of having Uma Thurman’s Beatrix Kiddo having the cows come home in the form of Nikkia Bell.
WHO?
Nikkia ‘Nikki’ Bell is the daughter of Vivica A. Fox’s character Vernita Green from Kill Bill Volume 1.
After a house busting knife fight, young Nikki came into the kitchen to see Kiddo pulling her knife out of her mother’s chest and promise her that her mother deserved her death, and told her that when she grows up and still feels “raw about it,” she will be waiting.
Well, I don’t know about you fine folk but I think this is where Quentin should begin his ending and luckily, much like women’s feet, it looks like he could be into it.
In an interview on Andy Cohen Live, the 56-year-old QT, after years of pondering over the project and fans’ requests, had this to say:
“What’s exactly happened to the Bride, right, and what do I want to do? I wouldn’t want to just come up with some cockamamie adventure. The Bride has fought long and hard.She doesn’t deserve that. Now I actually have an idea that could be interesting.”
An interesting idea is a good start, right?
Maybe if we’re careful not to startle or piss him off, tip our hats and talk real nice he may give that little seed some nutrients and start making it happen.
He did go on to say any new movie would be at least three years down the road as he’s currently very busy writing a play – details could not be found -, a five-episode television show – no further information is available at this time – and a book about – something very secretive apparently- oh plus there’s that Star Trek movie that’s been announced…
This is a lot of conjecture and hope but it does raise an interesting question.
Besides tying everything into a universe that all somehow revolves around the world of Casablanca–think about that if you will, it could totally work–Tarantino needs to go out with a proper crescendo.
It will be an interesting three years if nothing else.
