Quentin Tarantino is steadfast that his upcoming 10th film will be his last and it won’t be a sequel for “Kill Bill”…
Quentin Tarantino already has his 10th and final film ready to go but it won’t be another sequel in the “Kill Bill” franchise.
Despite teasing the possibility for several years, Tarantino is steadfast that his upcoming film currently titled “The Movie Critic” will be his final foray into directing, which nixes any chance that he would return for “Kill Bill Vol. 3,” which could have potentially saw Uma Thurman star alongside her real life daughter Maya Hawke.
He was recently asked about potentially revisiting “Kill Bill” while touting Thurman as one of his favorite actresses — and one of his best friends — but there are no plans to see her pick up the sword again as Beatrix Kiddo aka The Bride.
“I don’t see that happening,” Tarantino told DeMorgen in a new interview. “My last film is about a film critic, a male critic. And he plays in the 70s.”
The first two “Kill Bill” movies — which Tarantino technically views as one film separated into two parts — saw Thurman’s character seek revenge on the group of assassins that turned against her on the orders of their boss Bill, which left her in a coma for several years. Through two films, The Bride hunted down and killed anyone and everyone who wronged her before eventually finding her way back to Bill — and discovering that their daughter lived despite believing since waking up from her coma that she was dead.
In the end, Beatrix rides off into the sunset with her daughter B.B. after finishing Bill.
In his plans for a potential sequel, Tarantino envisioned a story set years later where loved ones of the people who Beatrix killed would then coming looking for revenge against her — most notably Nikki — the daughter of Vernita Green (Vivica A. Fox), who saw her mother cut down in a sword fight with The Bride.
Now it appears Tarantino has no plans to revisit that story, although he’s stayed busy writing books in his spare time, so perhaps he might explore something there down the road but his last film will have no ties to “Kill Bill” outside of potentially using some of the same actors.
There’s no word yet on when Tarantino will get into production on “The Movie Critic” but it appears he’s nearing that time now that he’s openly talking about the film in interviews.
