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 ...
It's Time for a New View on 'Seven Days'

No, this isn't a remake of the remake of The Ring, which was once titled Seven Days. (Although these days, a move like that wouldn't surprise me.) In step with the current trend, this English-language remake is coming from a fresh film from South Korea. In fact, they should have just waited a week to share this news -- the original just opened there on Wednesday. The Hollywood Reporter has announced that Seven Days has been picked up by Summit Entertainment for a Hollywood remake. The original (which feels strange to type since the film is currently on the screen) stars Lost's Yunjin Kim "as a lawyer who must free a convicted killer in just one week or else see her kidnapped daughter murdered." Where's Alan Shore when you need him?Summit is feeling pretty confident about this -- they've made the deal for a low six figures, and they plan to begin filming in 2008. Now, either Summit expects the strike to end soon, or they are going to tap some non-WGA writer. Or, maybe a direct translation? Now that would be interesting. On the acting side of things, considering the fact that Kim has a career stateside, I imagine there's a chance she could reprise this role for the remake as well, kind of like Penelope Cruz revisiting Abre los Ojos with Vanilla Sky. Whatever the case, we'll have to see how the strike pans out, and just when this flick actually gets cast and heads into production.
