Quentin Tarantino says Kill Bill: Volume 3 could still happen despite Bill being dead

The director added he hopes to work in theatre after film

Quentin Tarantino may not generally be in the business of making sequels, but for Kill Bill he’ll seemingly make an exception.

In an interview with What the Flick, the director spoke about the possibility of making a third volume, continuing the story of Uma Thurman’s ‘Black Mamba’.

“There is definitely a possibility, stopped short of it being a probability,” Tarantino said. “For one reason in particular: Uma and me would have a really good time working together again.

“I put [Thurman’s] character through a lot and I wanted her to have this much time for peace. I wanted her to have some time with her daughter… She could actually enjoy her life for a while.”

He went on to clarify that, if a third movie does happen, it won’t follow on directly from the events of Volume 2, but would pick up many years later, the characters having aged just as much as the actors.

“Kill Bill is, pretty much hands down, my most visionary movie, in so far as I really went beyond Pulp Fiction to create this world that really doesn’t exist, where they have Samurai sword holders on aeroplanes instead of cup holders and that’s all good.”

Of course, it should be noted, that the antagonist and titular character of those two films, Bill, is dead…

Tarantino added that once he’s done making films, he hopes to work in theatre.

“Since then my work has taken a step towards the literary, and it’s got denser and denser, this one [The Hateful Eight] probably being the densest of the group. And this is probably where I’ll be going, writing novels, theatre, that sort of stuff.”

The Hateful Eight will reach UK cinemas 8 January 2016.
