Quentin Tarantino has been talking up Kill Bill Volume 3 since the day Kill Bill Volume 2 was released. It makes sense. The series lends itself to the occasional update style of storytelling that Richard Linklater used with Before Sunset and Before Sunrise, except with a lot more blood. We want to see where The Bride has gone, if the daughters of her victims are seeking revenge, and what has happened with The Bride’s daughter. But there’s one tiny problem with continuing the series. How can The Bride kill Bill again, unless Tarantino is planning a zombie flick?

It turns out she won’t be, and thus, the film will take on a different title. Talking to MTV, Quentin stated that, “It wouldn't be Kill Bill. It would be Volume 3 of the story of the Bride." While this isn’t big news, it does mean that the story is still fresh in Tarantino’s mind and perhaps we won’t have to wait ten years to see it, even though he stands by his assertion that it won’t be his next movie but the movie after that.

But after the genius that was Inglourious Basterds, I’m all for Quentin taking his time getting to a sequel. As much as I loved the characters in Kill Bill, there’s nothing more intriguing than the thought of Tarantino inventing something new. Remember how terrifying Hans Landa was. Imagine what Quentin comes up with next.
