A third volume of the cult saga?
While Quentin Tarantino clearly stated that he only wanted to direct ten feature films before retiring from filmmaking, he is about to direct not one, but two new films. After the release of Once Upon A Time in Hollywood in 2019, the American filmmaker talked about his upcoming projects at the Rome Film Festival, where he received a lifetime achievement award in 2021. According to Variety, Quentin Tarantino replied, “Why not?” when a journalist asked him if he planned to direct the third part of Kill Bill. Yet, the project seems off the table. IN that same interview, the director admitted that he was also thinking about his next feature, which would be a spaghetti western.
“I would like to make a comedy. It won’t necessarily be my next film. But I can say that in any case there will be some spaghetti western in it. I want to do it in the spaghetti western style where each person will speak a different language. The Mexican bandido is played by an Italian, the hero is American, the evil sheriff is German, the Mexican girl in the saloon is Israeli… And everyone speaks to each other in a different language. Basically, the actors are like, “OK, as soon as he’s done talking, it’s my turn!” Quentin Tarantino told Variety. In any case, it wouldn’t be the filmmaker’s first venture into the western genre… Django Unchained (2012) is the perfect example.
An original, integral version of Kill Bill to be unveiled
The prolific director will finally resurrect his cult 2003 work with Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair. This cut has long haunted film buffs. Long discussed in the press, this complete 4-hour and 35-minute version will at last be released in French theaters on July 8th, 2026. It will include a fifteen-minute intermission. This projects brings together the two Kill Bill volumes into a single feature film. Enhanced with 18 to 33 minutes of new footage, it features seven additional minutes of animated sequence.
