In the early 90's Michael Madsen portrayed Mr. Blonde a.k.a. Vic Vega in Quentin Tarantino’s directorial debut Reservoir Dogs. QT followed up that flick years later with Pulp Fiction starring John Travolta as Vince Vega. Now for years rumors have been running wild about the possibility of a movie with the two Vegas. Now, here we are more then ten years after Dogs and on the verge of the 10th anniversary of Fiction and rumors are running wild again. Although this time, it’s straight from the horse’s mouth. In an interview with Rolling Stone magazine Tarantino was asked about what's on his slate now that “Bill” has been put to sleep.
QT’s Response: “I've got to like turn off now, from the whole kung-fu, spaghetti western homage I've been doing with Kill Bill and get back the one basic underlying story, alright. Kill Bill is something I think a lot of people will enjoy, alright, but not in the same way as say Pulp Fiction...If everyone's in the kitchen with their silverware, banging away, anxiously awaiting what you've cooked up, then it makes you want to do more and more, in turn, getting more creative along the way. Kill Bill has made me want to challenge myself...I'm going to do my first sequel. It's a sequel to both Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs, actually, it's a sequel and it's a prequel. It's The Vega Brothers, played by Michael Madsen and John Travolta. I have been trying to do it for years, and the more time I take, the older these two guys get. But I've come up with an idea that won't much matter how much they age....the magic of movies. It's going to be great. It'll be funny, and these guys are so great, alright, they're going to be like two oversized mob-men fighting over the last bowl of pasta, that we can't go wrong. It's just going to be John and Michael, and I hope to make this my next movie. We're laying down the pipework for it now."
So there ya go. He wants to “challenge himself”. I’m down for it Travolta needs a third wind. Though in an even more recent on a San Diego Radio show QT said he won't do it next and is waiting for the right possible story. So....We're gonna have wait and watch Madsen & Travolta get older and fatter.
Got a comment? .
