"Kill Bill" the Cartoon?

Posted Jul 24th 2006 5:36PM by TMZ Staff

Quentin Tarantino, creator of such esteemed art house date films as "Reservoir Dogs" and "Pulp Fiction," was on a panel at Comic-Con this weekend to discuss his and Robert Rodriguez's upcoming double film "Grindhouse" when he told the audience that he wanted to do not one but two "Kill Bill" prequels.

One prequel will cover Bill's back story and would feature Pai Mei, Esteban Vihaio, sword maker Hatori Hanzo and, of course, Bill.

The second will be the further adventures of Uma Thurman's character The Bride, possibly working as an assassin for Bill.

The real kicker about this announcement was Tarantino wants the films to be anime-inspired, not unlike the Oren-Ishii sequence in the first "Kill Bill" film. This news alone should have Tarantino and anime fans salivating.

Of course, Tarantino is known to throw out ideas that either don't come to fruition or take years to make. We're still waiting for the "Inglorious Bastards."

Let's keep our fingers crossed just in case.

1. O hell, wtf is tarantino doing, he is so spoiled, he is never going to move past Kill Bill now? Uma will be 105 years old and tarantino will have her in a wire harness, flipping around killing asian people by the thousands in Kill Bill 36, "I'm old but I still have huge feet, the REVENGE" I agree, lets see the WWII movie with Schwarznegger, Stallone, Bruce Willis and who ever else he wanted in there, or maybe he can get on board and finally make the My Little Pony movie, now that is a franchise that needs to be resurrected.

TMZ is the best thing since the bubonic plague!!

4. The anime in the middle of Kill Bill the movie was unexpected and completely memorable. I'm sure Tarantino nerds everywhere are freaking out.

6. How appropriate, an ad for Lamisil under a Tarantino article, TMZ did you do that on purpose?

I don't believe Tarantino is a fan of nail fungus.

7. i find it hard to take him serious, the only reason why hes so heralded as a brilliant director in North America is because he steals asian cinema concepts and uses them as if they were his own.
