Uma Thurman Confirms Talks with Tarantino about Kill Bill 3

16 October 2009 3:48 AM, PDT | Reelzchannel.com | See recent ReelzChannel news »

A few weeks ago, Quentin Tarantino excited fans everywhere when he promised a sequel to Kill Bill: Vol. 2.

"The Bride will fight again!" he said.

Uma Thurman has now followed that up with confirmation that she has spoken with Tarantino about the project, which many speculate may involve a showdown between The Bride's daughter and the daughter of Vernita Green (played by Vivica Fox), one of The Bride's victims in Kill Bill: Vol. 1.

Speaking with MTV, Thurman said:

We did chat, we did chat. He has not yet finished the script. I don't even really know if he's really started it, although I got a taste of some of his ideas and they are really good.... He has started to share with me what he was thinking, and it's awesome.

So, it sounds as if we can definitely expect a third Kill Bill ... at some point. Remember how »

Tarantino Prepares To Kill Bill Again

4 October 2009 7:21 AM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »

Quentin Tarantino has thrilled fans by announcing a third instalment of his Kill Bill series is due in 2014.

The filmmaker's hit movies Kill Bill: Vol. 1 and Kill Bill: Vol. 2, starring Uma Thurman, were released in 2003 and 2004, earning more than $332 million (£221 million) worldwide and leaving fans clamouring for more.

The director declared a follow-up is in the pipeline, with an expected release date of 2014, on Saturday while appearing at the Morelia International Film Festival in Mexico.

The proposed Kill Bill: Vol. 3 will be set 10 years after the last instalment to allow Thurman's character, The Bride, to "have a break" from her bloody revenge mission. »

MTV's Gore Girls Explore Grindhouse In Herschell Gordon Lewis's 'The Gore Gore Girls'

27 August 2009 12:00 PM, PDT | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »

Welcome to Gore Girls! MTV contributor Terri Schwartz doesn't know crap about the horror genre, and she's volunteered to be our Movies Blog guinea pig. She has a good guide too. Fellow contributor Jenni Miller is a bonafide horror enthusiast, and she's willing to walk Terri through her formative experiences with blood, guts, monsters and maniacs. Together, this dynamic duo are The Gore Girls!!! Good luck Terri... you're definitely going to need it.

MTV's Gore Girls take on director Herschell Gordon Lewis's "The Gore Gore Girls"...

Terri: In the interest of full disclosure, I must admit that I am the horror-virgin and sissy half of the Gore Girls, and that blood and guts really freak me out. And so, I'm not entirely certain how to feel about "The Gore Gore Girls," Herschell Gordon Lewis's bloodbath of a film.

I think I'm mostly concerned about what this film was aiming to be. »

Box Office: Tarantino’s ‘Basterds’ Score a Glourious $37 Million

23 August 2009 7:08 PM, PDT | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »

Well, it was indeed a "Glourious" weekend for Quentin Tarantino at the box office. Not only did Inglourious Basterds win the weekend, but it scored a higher-than-expected $37.6 million! What's more, this is the best opening for a Tarantino movie ever, topping Kill Bill: Vol. 2 which opened at $25 million. I get a laugh reading some of the stuff out there, particularly Nikki Finke's post at her site that basically implied this movie saved the Weinstein Company's bacon -- as if this was going to be some sure train wreck waiting to happen. I gotta say -- never bet against Quentin Tarantino, at least not too often. I know he has some detractors out there who think he's overrated, and Grindhouse was a flop to be sure, but Tarantino has enough talent and enough fans to pull out out of the hat from time to time. Besides, this movie had been hyped to death for months. It »

Inglourious Basterds Opens With $37.6 Million

23 August 2009 8:53 AM, PDT | Studio Briefing - Film News | See recent Studio Briefing - Film News news »

Quentin Tarantino’s Inglourious Basterds opened with an estimated $37.6 million, well above analysts’ forecasts of $25-30 million. It marked the best opening for a Tarantino film ever and gave a much-needed lift to the nearly hitless Weinstein Co., which co-financed it with Universal, the film’s distributor. Tarantino’s previous best start was 2004’s Kill Bill Vol. 2, which took in $25.1 million. Sony’s District 9 slipped to second place with about $18.9 million, while G.I. Joe dropped to third with $12.5 million. The Warner Bros. family film Shorts opened in sixth place with $3.1 million, while in its debut, Fox Searchlight’s Post Grad posted a disappointing $2.7 million. »

Top 10 Quentin Tarantino Characters

20 August 2009 3:05 AM, PDT | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »

(from left to right) Cast of Pulp Fiction with Bruce Willis, Quentin Tarantino, Uma Thurman, Samuel L. Jackson and John Travolta Top 10 Quentin Tarantino Characters This was not an easy list by any stretch. As I went through Quentino Tarantino's films and jot down my favorite characters from each, my list continued to grow and grow... well beyond ten names. At one point I thought I would do a top 15, but that would have meant leaving off a couple of characters I didn't want to see left out and I didn't want to have to go up to 20 because at that point it just becomes excessive and sort of ruins the fun of narrowing things down to ten and taking a stand. So I ended with ten, but made sure to list my honorable mentions at the end, a list that still left a couple of names out of the »

'Inglourious Basterds' Toplines This Week's Box Office Poll

17 August 2009 10:00 AM, PDT | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »

This week brings yet another easy weekend screening for me. Especially since, unlike last week, I haven't actually seen the highly anticipated upcoming release in question.

It's been a long time since director Quentin Tarantino served up a proper feature. There was "Death Proof" of course, which formed one half of "Grindhouse," and a brief bit in "Sin City." But the last feature-length solo effort from Tarantino was "Kill Bill: Vol. 2," and that was in 2004. While the Bride's tale of bloody revenge was a blast, I'm looking forward "Inglourious Basterds"' World War II adventure. Maybe it's the Jew in me, but the premise of American soldiers brutalizing Nazis while spouting Tarantino dialogue sounds exactly like my idea of a good time at the movies.

Those who are not quite as fond of the "Pulp Fiction" director's work have some good options to choose from, among them last week's excellent "District 9, »

What a Bunch of Basterds: Top 10 Tarantino Character Types

14 August 2009 9:39 AM, PDT | Reelzchannel.com | See recent ReelzChannel news »

For cinephiles (pronounced “movie nerds”), the works of Quentin Tarantino aren’t just fun on their own terms: They’re packed with nods, winks, and say-no-mores to other movies, genre clichés, and Tarantino’s own conventions. His characters are no exception, though some of them may pop us for saying so.

When Tarantino’s Inglourious Basterds rides a pile of Nazi corpses into a theater near you, it’s a pretty safe bet that some of the writer-director’s favorite stock characters will be along for the genoride. And yes, many of them will be movie buffs. Here are the ones to watch for with your one good eye through a hail of bullets, sleet of blood, and freezing rain of gore.

Check out the Top 10 Tarantino Character Types.

Assorted horror DVD & Blu-Ray news

9 July 2009 9:40 AM, PDT | Fangoria | See recent Fangoria news »

IFC Films gave Fango an update on when a quartet of its horror titles will debut as Blockbuster exclusives and then become available for retail via Mpi.  Look for The Objective (at Blockbuster July 14) to retail on October 27; Pontypool (Blockbuster Oct. 13) to retail February 10, 2010; Dead Snow (Blockbuster Oct. 20) to retail January 26, 2010; and Dark Mirror (no Blockbuster date as of yet) to retail March 2010.

Meanwhile, the two Blu-ray set of the complete theatrical cut of the Weinstein Company’s Grindhouse (which we previously reported on here) has now been shifted to a street date of December 31 by Wal-Mart, which appears to be the only retailer offering it at the moment. That’s the slot the company has also set for a three-dvd Grindhouse edition—but since that’s a Thursday, and discs usually street on Tuesdays, could that just be a default date?

Rip David Carradine

4 June 2009 8:51 AM, PDT | Fangoria | See recent Fangoria news »

The Associated Press has reported that actor David Carradine was found dead this morning in his hotel room in Bangkok, an apparent suicide. Carradine, who was in the Thai city to shoot a movie, was 72.

The actor was discovered by a hotel maid hanged with a curtain cord, and a preliminary police investigation found no signs of foul play. Further details are being withheld out of consideration for his family. Carradine’s long career ranged from the art house to the grindhouse and everything in between, with horror credits including Larry Cohen’s Q, Gary Graver’s Trick Or Treats, Robert Martin Carroll’s Sonny Boy, Anthony Hickox’s Sundown: The Vampire In Retreat (pictured) and Waxwork II: Lost In Time, Fred Olen Ray’s Evil Toons, Ethan Wiley’s Children Of The Corn V: Fields Of Terror, Mitch Marcus’ Knocking On Death’S Door, Mark Lambert Bristol’s The Monster Hunter, »

Veteran Actor David Carradine Dead at 72

4 June 2009 4:45 AM, PDT | Reelzchannel.com | See recent ReelzChannel news »

The Thai newspaper The Nation reports that David Carradine was found dead in his hotel room in Bangkok by a maid. While initial reports indicated an apparent suicide, friends and family members stepped forward to say they doubted that was the case. A U.S. Embassy spokesman said he died either this morning or yesterday evening but would not comment further.

The 72-year-old actor starred in a wide range of movie and TV roles over a nearly 50-year career. Arguably his two most famous were as Shaolin priest Kwai Chang Caine on the hit 1970s TV show Kung Fu and as folk singer Woody Guthrie in the 1976 biopic Bound for Glory. He also starred in the 1972 Martin Scorsese movie Boxcar Bertha and the 1977 Ingmar Bergman movie The Serpent's Egg.

Carradine experienced a resurgence in 2003 when Quentin Tarantino chose him to play the title role in his two Kill Bill movies. »

Even more new ‘Inglourious Basterds’ Posters and a great Qt interview

11 May 2009 10:03 AM, PDT | The Cinema Post | See recent The Cinema Post news »

As Quentin Tarantino prepares to debut his Nazi-hunting war time pic “Inglourious Basterds” at Cannes, the live-wire director found the time to talk to The New York Times on set about his first solo project since “Kill Bill 2″.

Among the most interesting things he had to say were that he already has “a half-written prequel ready to go if this movie’s a smash,”and that he possibly envisions a story where “Once the Basterds get through with Europe, they could go to the South and do it to the Kluxers in the ’50s. That’s another story you could tell.” We love it! Tarantino was born in Tennessee, and has said that many of his childhood fantasies centered on taking revenge on the Kkk.

Oh and that “e” in “Basterds”? “Basterds should be spelled with an e,” he said. “It sounds like it has an e.”

The full interview is a fascinating read, »

Raising Jeffrey Dahmer (2006) Movie Review

8 May 2009 8:40 PM, PDT | Beyond Hollywood | See recent Beyond Hollywood news »

“Raising Jeffrey Dahmer” takes a slightly different approach to depicting the life and crimes of the infamous American serial killer, focusing not on the maniac himself, but on his parents, in particular his father. Through this, first time director Rich Ambler is able not only to chart Dahmer’s chilling development, but more importantly to ask questions as to what might have turned him into a killer, and why those closest to him did not realise what he was doing. Originally shot back in 2006, the film is now receiving a region 2 release via Revolver Entertainment on a barebones DVD without extras. The film largely revolves around Jeffrey’s father Lionel (Scott Cordes, also in the likes of “Suspension” and “Saving Grace B. Jones”) and his second wife Sheri (Cathy Barnett), who are forced to look to themselves after his horrific crimes are revealed. As the police (led by exploitation legend »
