Remembering ‘Kill Bill: Volume 1’ on Quentin Tarantino’s 60th Birthday
As Quentin Tarantino turns 60, it’s time to remember his iconic film ‘Kill Bill: Volume 1’, which also marks its 20th anniversary this year. While the second installment came shortly after, fans have been eagerly waiting for a third installment that has never materialized despite Tarantino’s promises. Here’s everything known so far about ‘Kill Bill 3’.
The Plot
The movie’s plot would focus on Nikki seeking revenge on the Bride for killing her mother, Vivica A. Fox’s character. Tarantino had even considered including Ambrosia Kelley to reprise her role as Nikki.
The Long Development
Despite hints of two prequels through anime, Tarantino shifted his focus to creating one or several sequels. In 2009, he said ‘Kill Bill 3’ would be ready for 2014 but later revealed that the film may never be produced. He also expressed his disinterest in creating the film again. Recently, Fox has been trying to pressure Tarantino into making ‘Kill Bill 3’ and even suggested Zendaya for the role of an adult Nikki.
Possible Cast and Protagonists
While Uma Thurman’s return as The Bride is essential to the film, Tarantino has talked about potentially including the returns of Elle Driver and Sofie Fatale. Fans may also see Chiaki Kuriyama playing the character of Shiaki or Ambrosia Kelley reprising her role as Nikki. There is also the possibility of Maya Hawke being cast in the film.
The Unlikelihood of ‘Kill Bill 3’
Despite early interest, Tarantino’s focus on other projects and his statements about making his next project his last film, ‘Kill Bill 3’ is unlikely to be produced. Fans may hold out hope for a miniseries, but this is no guarantee. It’s a shame, but it looks like we may never get to see this highly anticipated film.
