Movies - Tarantino to make "Kill Bill" 3 and 4

"According to Bennett Walsh, an executive producer of both "Kill Bill" movies, the plots for two more movies have been shaped and there is a chance that director Quentin Tarantino may return to China to shoot them.

Walsh said that the third film involves the revenge of two killers whose arms and eyes were hacked by Uma Thurman in the first stories. While, the fourth installment concerns a cycle of reprisals and daughters who avenge their mother's deaths.

At this point, it is not clear whether the scripts for the films are complete or how soon Tarantino plans to begin shooting. Last we heard, he was planning "Inglorious Bastards" as his next project."

Awesome news, though Tarantino is notorious for talking about tons of upcoming projects; most of which never happen. I'm a huge fan of the "Kill Bill" movies and I would be very excited to see two more; the plot details he announced sound great. The third film being about the revenge of two of the mutilated victims of the Crazy 88’s from the awesome House of Blue Leaves scene in Kill Bill Vol. 1, and the fourth film being about the daughters of Beatrix Kiddo and Vernita Green. The whole idea of the fourth film, with the battle of the two daughters, Tarantino has mentioned wanting to do before. Overall great news, I would like to see these films get made.

Movies - Quentin Tarantino Remaking "Come Drink With Me"

Via WorstPreviews:
"Setting their sights on Asia, Bob and Harvey Weinstein are setting up a $285 million fund to invest in movies with Asian themes and elements.

The fund will be used to finance the production, acquisition and marketing of about 31 Asian films to be distributed by the Weinstein Co. over six years. The offering summary said the target is 21 theatrically released films and 10 direct-to-video titles.

Titles that the fund is expected to handle include Wong Kar Wai's "My Blueberry Nights," the opening-night film at the Festival de Cannes, and a remake of the Hong Kong martial arts movie "Come Drink With Me," directed by Quentin Tarantino."

Via FilmWad:
"The original "Come Drink With Me" is a 1966 Hong Kong martial arts picture that's set in the Ming Dynasty that starred Cheng Pei-Pei and Yuen Hua. The film is considered one of the best martial arts films ever made. If this is true that Tarantino is remaking the film, there will be a lot of complainers (hell, there are still people bitching about how "Reservoir Dogs" ripped off John Woo flicks). But remember how badass the kung fu sequences were from Kill Bill? This could kick major ass."
