The Independent has a large interview with Tarantino where he discusses everything from splitting Kill Bill into two movies, to reminding us that the blood in his movies is just colored syrup. Read the whole thing – its worth it. Here’s a couple of things QT had to say about Kill Bill Volume 1:

It’s a different kind of thing. I wanted it to be more of a burst of adrenalin.We’re getting the Bride on her way, and we don’t want to get lost. And we’re also setting up how she can’t be stopped. One of my favourite shots in Volume 1 is just her in that wheelchair. She wakes up, she kills these guys, her bottom half doesn’t work, but that’s not going to stop her, she can’t be stopped.

Also, this was an action movie. I don’t need that dialogue to exist, what’s there is good, and you’ll get more of that in the second movie, but I don’t have to live or die by it. I’m giving you something I haven’t given you before. And it’s got to be good so you don’t miss the dialogue.

UPDATE:Coming Soon! also has some additional stills from both Kill Bill v1 and v2 that weren’t part of the latest Mirimax press blitz.
