Tarantino Teases 'Kill Bill 3' - Here's Five People Who Should Star

Filed under: RumorMonger, Fandom, DIY/Filmmaking, Newsstand, Quentin Tarantino, Remakes and Sequels


The energetic Quentin Tarantino was out and about promoting Inglourious Basterds in Italy, and seeing as he was in the homeland of his hostess spaghetti western, he teased everyone by promising Kill Bill 3. Again. Bad Taste reports that while on Italian talkshow Parla Con me, he prompted his hostess, Serena Dandini, to ask him whether there would be a continuation of the Bride's saga. When I say prompted, I mean it literally. "You didn't ask me whether there will be a third installment, a Kill Bill Vol 3!" Dandini obliged him by asking, and Tarantino said "Yes! The Bride will fight again ... I want ten years to pass between the second one and the third one. Two reasons. I think Uma [Thurman] and I needed a ten year break because the first one was so hard. The second one is that I love the character a lot. I just really really love her. And I think she deserves ten years of peace. ... I put her through a lot in those first two movies, and I wanted her to have a nice, peaceful life for ten years. I want her to put up her sword, and have some peace. And in ten years, something will happen to make her fight again."

Tarantino has been teasing us with a continuation for awhile now (usually themed around the daughter of Vernita Green), so it's hard to get too excited. It's also awfully hard to make predictions as to who or what would cause the Bride to fight again as she did leave most of her enemies in pieces. But we can cast our votes as to who we would like to see as the Bride's villains. Here's five of the people I'd like to see in a Tarantino flick, and I hope some of you have even cooler suggestions ...




1. Andrew Robinson
Tarantino loves to pick up actors barely seen since the 1970s, and Robinson would be an ideal pick for him to pay a little homage to Don Siegel with. Robinson has had a steady television career, but he may be best known for playing the cherubic Scorpio in Dirty Harry. Why not have Robinson come back as someone the Bride thought she dispatched a long time ago, but who is still very much alive ... just maybe missing a limb or two. Perhaps he could team up with Sophie Fatale in order to reclaim their missing limbs.



2. Michael Parks

You need a little continuity between Vol 2 and Vol 3, and I'd like to see the return of Esteban Vihaio, preferably looking exactly the same (de-age with CGI if you have to) so that a life of drinks and whorehouses looks beneficial. Would he ever revenge his foster son, Bill? Would he tip off those looking for the Bride? Or could he act as her creepy mentor again, advising her just where to take her sword?



3. Ken Watanabe

Watanabe has quickly made a name for himself in America, but he's rarely gotten to have any fun. It would be wonderful to see him bring his considerable chops to Tarantino's grindhouse, and smile once and awhile. (Maybe he doesn't like to smile on camera. I have no idea.) Even if he played it deadly serious, he would be a very palpable threat in the Bride's world. Up until now, we haven't seen her face really anyone she couldn't take down. The name of the movie was "Kill Bill" for heaven's sake. It's not like she wasn't going to fail halfway through!



4. Michael Fassbender

Universally regarded as one of the high points in Inglourious Basterds (and that's saying quite a bit -- there were a lot of high points), Fassbender deserves a return to the Tarantino universe. I don't want to see him as a villain, but possibly as someone the Bride is forced to protect. I would pay good money to see Fassbender silently seethe at having to be guarded by a female samurai. Or maybe he could just cry and be splattered with blood a lot. That would be rather amusing too.



5. Yunjin Kim

I don't know how the final season of Lost will shake out, or if Sun will be allowed to finish this Lady Vengeance path that she's on. But if she doesn't (and something tells me she'll be more focused on finding her revived husband than plotting murder), then I respectfully ask Tarantino to let her play the Korean equivalent to the Bride. As enjoyable as it would be to see Kim pitted against Thurman, I would actually like to see them be allies. The Bride needs a friend, and Kim could easily walk the line of deadly and nurturing.
