“I think it’s just revisiting the characters 20 years later and just imagining the Bride and her daughter, B.B., having 20 years of peace, and then that peace is shattered,” Tarantino teased. “And now the Bride and B.B. are on the run and just the idea of being able to cast Uma and cast her daughter Maya in the thing would be f—ing exciting.”
He also went on to share that previous characters including Elle Driver, Sophie Fatale, and Gogo’s twin sister could also appear in the potential project. “Elle Driver is still out there, Sophie Fatale got her arm cut off, but she’s still out there,” He said. “They all got Bill’s money. Actually, Gogo had a twin sister Shiaki, and so her twin sister could show up.”
I know, right?I ran in here so fast thinking it was something official. Just QT being QT.
He's said that he's got one more film in him but I don't think it would be a sequel.
He does seem to have a lot of gas in the tank and doesn't really seem ready for retirement. Especially since he takes his time in between projects.I don't know how serious he is about that one more movie left thing. He was on Marc Maron and said that got blown out of proportion, although he didn't deny it or confirm it. I'm thinking he's going to leave his options open.

I mean, I don't think any director should hold themselves to a number just because. If they've got more movies in them then they should go for it. Obviously it would be cool if more directors quit after they reached their peak and just left us with the good stuff, but realistically...do they know when that is at the time? To me the trick is to avoid getting to that point where you're making movies just because studios ask you to (in $$$). Fewer BTS videos like that one of a post-Dementor's Kiss Peter Jackson talking about The Hobbit, please. But if QT has more movies in his brain that he wants to make, then I think not doing so purely out of some determination to stick to magic number of 10 is just plain dumb.Ooh... I must have missed that episode.
I LOVE to a large degree the idea that he gives us ten and walks away.
To put it in terms Q himself might grok to...
The Beatles.
The Rolling Stones.
The two giants of 1960's British Invasion Rock And Roll.
The Beatles died when Lennon was killed. There would never be a reunion of all four. No new music from the group as it was. No "final/farewell" tour. Nothing new. They are in the popular imagination encased in the amber of popular collective memory as... Pure. Unchanged. Timeless.
The Stones on the other hand... Mick with his ego won't let them die. Whatever juice can be squeezed out will be vacuumed up and sent to marketing. Yes... The Stones still play and make music but nothing, NOTHING they have recorded has the impact of their classic heyday since... The early 80's at best? Maybe? The endless "final" tours the promise that THIS new album will get the world to notice them again... Just the unkind ravages of time where literal great grandfathers are still prancing around to SATISFACTION... They don't have a real mystique to them anymore or it has been greatly reduced.
And that is the catch 22 here.
Q quits after ten and his estimation in the world of film gets frozen as it is now. A darling of most of the cognoscenti who is still appealing to film fans in their teens, twenties and thirty somethings today who are discovering his filmography.
But... We don't ever get anymore fully realized, purely Q films. Just ten.
The flip? He continues on and numbers 11, 12 and 13 are indeed up to the brilliance of 1-10... But then 14 is "Meh. Not bad but... Not great." 15 is "What was he thinking?" 16 is "Fine... But I've seen all this before" and so on. Now he's an important director of note but we all know that his earlier work was just better all around.
And let me just add...
I am aware this attitude is sophomoric pose ****. It ain't rational. Whether or not he retires or if he goes on to make more movies and they don't blow up my skirt, well who cares? Q making a lackluster film or a plain ole turd doesn't affect how much I adore Kill Bill or takes away from the adrenaline shot that STILL is Pulp Fiction.
But... No other film maker has mastered and harnessed "cool" the way Q has. Some try... But they aren't on his level.
And when it is all said and done him walking away after ten and not looking back?
That's just ****ing cool.
@Black Narcissus @flickchick85 you two have on opinion?
I mean... You gots to have an opinion?
