Tarantino announced the movie during a press meet for Inglorious Basterds, at the Morelia International Film Festival in Mexico, on October 3, 2009.

He said that Kill Bill: Vol 3 will be set ten years after the Bride’s last violent encounters to allow her some peace time with her daughter.

Before he starts filming Kill Bill: Vol 3, Quentin Tarantino will make another movie.

There is a lot of speculation about the story of Kill Bill: Vol 3.

Now that Bill is gone and the Bride has eliminated all her targets, who will she fight in the third instalment?

Some reports say that Vernita Green’s four-year-old daughter, Nikki, whose life the Bride spared when she killed Green, will be back for revenge. This is the most likeliest scenario.

Other say that Sofie Fatale and Crazy 88, whose left arms were chopped off by the Bride, will return for vengeance. Maybe, maybe not.

Or will the Bride die in Kill Bill: Vol 3, passing on the mantle to her daughter? Remote chance.

All is possible, except Bill’s return from the dead, that is if he really died, a big stretch. No way.

Kill Bill: Vol. 1 and Kill Bill: Vol. 2, that were released in 2003 and 2004, starred Uma Thurman as Beatrix Kiddo or The Bride, David Carradine as Bill, Lucy Liu as O-Ren Ishii, Vivica A Fox as Vernita Green, Julie Dreyfus as Sofie Fatale, Daryl Hannah as Elle Driver, Michael Madsen as Budd, and Gordon Liu as Pai Mei.

Kill Bill: Vol. 1 and Kill Bill: Vol. 2 collectively grossed over US$300 million worldwide.

Inglorious Bastards is produced by Weinstein Co. and Universal. Filming will start in October 2008.

A bit like Alistair McLean’s Guns of Navarone, Force Ten from Navarone, and Where Eagles Dare, Inglorious Bastards in about a bunch of  ragatag soldiers, sent to take down Nazi soldiers. The prisoner-turned-soldiers, led by Brad Pitt, disrupt the Nazi war machine by brutally decimating Nazi soldiers. Meanwhile, a French-Jewish girl, who runs a movie theatre, wants to avenge the death of her parents at Nazi hands.

Nastassja Kinski plays a reigning German movie star, while Simon Pegg plays a British Lieutenant. David Krumholtz and B.J. Novak will play Brad Pitt’s gang members. Eli Roth has been cast as Seargent Donnie Donowitz.

Inglorious Bastards has been scripted by Tarantino in as early as 2002. Tarantino was not satisfied with the script, despite multiple changes. The project was put on hold, while Tarantino went on to make Kill Bill and Grindhouse.

Inglorious Bastards will be set in France, with dialogues in French and Germans, though subtitles will be used.
