Uma Thurman Speaks Out About 'Kill Bill'
There isn't really much substance to the article other than a couple of interesting quotes.
From Uma Thurman:
From Uma Thurman:
"I never, ever saw myself as even having an auxiliary part in an action movie," Thurman said backstage at the Golden Globes, shortly after winning a Best Actress award for the TV movie "Hysterical Blindness." "Now I'm there punching and kicking and fighting, day in and day out. So, it's kind of a career anomaly."From Samuel L. Jackson:
"Quentin did another movie?" he said with mock surprise. "What? He didn't call me!"
Inglorious Bastards - Tarantino's 5th Film?
I'm not sure how this will fit in with the news I've read about Tarantino's plans to make a Vega Brothers film this year, but he's also apparently wanting to film a World War 2 movie with Michael Madsen and Adam Sandler called Inglorious Bastards. The AICN link above is a bit old, and some newer information can be had here. So far, a 2004 Cannes Film Festival release is the plan.

Kill Bill To Miss Cannes
Entertainment Weekly is reporting that Kill Bill will not make its planned debut at the Cannes Film Festival in May as originally planned. Filming for Tarantino's 4th film was supposed to wrap in late October 2002, but it actually still continuing in Mexico late this month. The October 2003 release date has not yet been changed.
Cinematic Book Version of Kill Bill Available
Its what Tarantino calls a 'cinematic novel' - not quite a screenplay, not quite a full fledged novel. You can pre-order it now from Amazon for about $17, but it doesn't ship until June of this year.
UPDATE: The cinematic novel has been cancelled.

Tarantino Remakes Snow White?
No, he's not that crazy. But AMC is going to start airing a new show called The Wrong Coast that is
"a weekly animated half-hour that will make fun of movies, TV and pop culture".And one of their first episodes will be a stop-motion animated remake of Snow White in Tarantino style. No doubt the 7 dwarves will be morphed into the 7 characters of Reservoir Dogs [White, Brown, Blonde, Orange, Pink, Blue & Nice Guy Eddie].
Kill Bill Teaser Trailer Released
The Kill Bill teaser trailer (its very long for a teaser) has been released. Additionally, the teaser trailer has been ranked in the Top 10 list for trailers in 2002 by The Trades.
Kill Bill Cinematic Book
In addition to the planned publication of the Kill Bill screenplay, Talk Miramax Books will release a book version of the movie.
UPDATE: The cinematic novel has been cancelled.
Tarantino calls the book a hybrid "cinematic novel", telling Variety "I'm moving away from screenplay format, keeping what I do like of the form and throwing away what I don't.... Kill Bill is not a novelization. It functions as a script, and it functions as a novel, but it's not a script and it's not a novelization. It's something in the middle that gets across my writing style as its purest."Without having any real knowledge of what Tarantino considers a "cinematic novel", I'd guess that it'll be a very dialogue-driven book, skipping over much of the wordiness that you typically see in a full fledged novel.
UPDATE: The cinematic novel has been cancelled.
Tarantino To Make 'Vega Brothers' Film
Quentin hopes to have the script done early in 2003 so that principal photography can begin in the summer on a film called The Vega Brothers. The film will be set in the lat 1980's and will center on Vincent (Travolta in Pulp Fiction) and Vic (Michael Madsen in Reservoir Dogs) Vega.
A source close to the director tells the London Sun to "expect the charm to come from Travolta and the crazy stuff from Madsen. It will follow the pair’s exploits around a club they own, set in the late 1980s. There is also an argument between the brothers over a woman."
