“Oh yeah, initially I was thinking this would be my “Dollars” trilogy. I was going to do a new one every 10 years. But I need at least 15 years before I do this again. Uma won’t be the star, though she’ll be in it.”

He further continued that he had already gotten the story down to the last detail and that a certain character would take revenge on the Bride. Stating that revenge is served to all, Tarantino might just make Kill Bill Vol. 3 if he wishes!

As the interview continued, Tarantino revealed that he already has the story planned for Kill Bill Vol. 3. Talking about the details and storyline of the movie, Tarantino jokingly said that he could start shooting the movie now!

“Sofie Fatale [Julie Dreyfus] will get all of Bill’s money. She’ll raise Nikki, who’ll take on the Bride. Nikki deserves her revenge every bit as much as the Bride deserved hers. I might even shoot a couple of scenes for it now so I can get the actresses while they’re this age. It’s exciting to know that somewhere there’s a little girl who’ll grow up to be my leading lady.”

Having a high rating in the 80% range of Rotten Tomatoes, Kill Bill Vol. 1 and have been recognized as two of the iconic movies of Quentin Tarantino. With Tarantino allegedly working on his final film titled The Movie Critic, a third part in the Kill Bill franchise might never see the light of day (we hope not).
