Tarantino Wants to do a 007?
May 12th, 2004
Now that "Kill Bill" Vol 2 is fast approaching its theatrical release, Quentin Tarantino is considering a fairly vast array of projects including a possible "Kill Bill" anime.
“Yeah, I’ve been thinking about revisiting the story in a couple of ways,” the director told Empireonline.co.uk. “I’ve been thinking about doing it as an anime feature that would tell the entire origin of Bill.” Another possibility, Tarantino said, would be a life story of Nikki, the young girl whose mother was killed by the Bride in Vol 1.
Tarantino apparently is thinking of doing a follow-up to the Bride's story sometime in the near or distant future:
"I do have an idea that maybe 15 years from now, doing the last chapter in the story. But it wouldn't star the Bride, it would star Nikki, Vernita's daughter, and she would be the star of it and she would be 20 years old," he is quoted as saying. "It would be Nikki going out to get revenge on the Bride. Uma wouldn't be the star, she'd kind of be the bad guy, because the little girl kind of deserves her revenge."
SCI FI Wire is reporting that Tarantino has talked to Pierce Brosnan about adapting "Casino Royale" (which has already been filmed – as a comedy starring Peter Sellers and Woody Allen) as Brosnan's fifth and final James Bond film.
"Wouldn't it be great to have a James Bond movie that didn't cost $115 million and only cost $40 million or something like that?" he asks. "You know it's going to make its money back, and we [would] all do good. Maybe we win the critics this time, then you're back in business the way you were before."
"They've got this gigantic franchise, they can't do anything wrong with it. Pierce Brosnan's only going to do one more movie for them, if that, so if he stayed on to do one more with me, let's just this one year go my way and do it a little differently. I won't do anything that will ruin the series."
However Bond will most likely have to wait as his next film is "Inglorious Bastards," a World War II story that the director has described as a Spaghetti Western set in Nazi Germany.
