Quentin Tarantino’s oft-discussed, self-imposed 10-film limit had always had fans wishing he’d leave room for a rumoured Kill Bill: Vol 3, but the director has delivered a dagger-to-the-heart of such hopes by underlining his next film will be his last, and he can’t see a return for The Bride ever happening.
Tarantino was speaking with Belgian publication DeMorgen when he was asked about a potential follow-up to his $330 million grossing revenge epic, to which the Oscar-winning director replied “I don’t see that. My last film is about a film critic, a male critic. And he plays in the 70s.”
When it comes to Kill Bill: Vol 3 there has been as many rumours flying around as there were bad-guys in the House of Blue Leaves; from the Maya Hawke fan-casting, to Vivica A. Fox endorsing Zendaya as her grown-up daughter, and even Tarantino himself speaking as if the 10-and-out plan wasn’t set in stone. Yet now it appears that The Movie Critic will be his swansong.
What we know about that film is that it will take place in 1977 California, and is based on a man who really lived, but was never really famous, and that he used to write film reviews for a pornographic magazine.
Are you disappointed we won’t be getting Kill Bill: Vol 3, or do you think Tarantino is simply going to take a self-imposed sabbatical from filmmaking? Let us know by heading to our social channels @FlickeringMyth…
