Quentin Tarantino loves film. Few filmmakers can boast such a wide knowledge of movies, especially the B-films and grindhouse works that have inspired his greatest cinematic accomplishments. Tarantino also loves to talk about future projects. Put those two passions together and you get a guy who often teases movies he never actually ends up making.
Of course, it’s not always talk. Many of his best movies, including Kill Bill and Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood started as ideas that he blabbed about to anyone who would listen. But while that approach builds excitement, it also sets up fans for disappointment, such as when it was revealed that he had abandoned The Movie Critic, which for months was teased as the director’s 10th and final film.
Now including The Movie Critic, here are the most intriguing Tarantino projects that never got made.

Bad news for “Kill Bill” fans. Despite Quentin Tarantino stirring up buzz for “Kill Bill Vol. 3” in interviews over the last few years, franchise star Uma Thurman confirmed on SiriusXM’s “The Jess Cagle Show” that a third entry in the series is “not immediately on the horizon.” Thurman starred as Beatrix “The Bride” Kiddo in Tarantino’s martial arts revenge drama, which shot as one film but was released in two separate parts. Fans have long clamored for “Vol. 3,” which Tarantino has maintained is a possibility.
“I can’t really tell you anything about it,” Thurman said. “I mean it has been discussed over the years. There was real thought about it happening, but very long ago. I don’t see it as immediately on the horizon.”
Thurman added, “I hate to disappoint people. Everybody wishes it would be the case, but I think it’s not immediately on the horizon.

Quentin Tarantino only has one movie left to make before his planned retirement from feature filmmaking. While the director flirted in several 2019 interviews with the idea of making his long-discussed “Kill Bill Vol. 3,” it now seems unlikely he’ll follow through, as he wants his tenth and final movie to be “an epilogue” to his career. And yet, Tarantino remains excited by what a potential “Kill Bill Vol. 3” would have in store. While visiting “The Joe Rogan Experience” this week to promote his “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” novel, Tarantino confirmed a bit of casting he would do if “Kill Bill Vol. 3″ moved forward.
“I think it’s just revisiting the characters twenty years later and just imagining the Bride and her daughter, Bebe, having 20 years of peace, and then that peace is shattered,” Tarantino said. “And now The Bride and Bebe are on the run and...

In a new interview with NME, Vivica A. Fox revealed her hopes for a third edition of the “Kill Bill” franchise and knows exactly who she wants to be its star: Zendaya.
Fox played Vernita Green, who was brutally murdered by Uma Thurman’s The Bride in the opening scene of “Kill Bill: Vol. 1.”
Director Quentin Tarantino has been hinting at the possibility of “Kill Bill: Vol. 3” for a while, outlining that the new installment would star Green’s daughter on a journey to avenge her mother’s death.
“The star will be Vernita Green’s [Fox’s] daughter, Nikki,” Tarantino told Entertainment Weekly in a 2004 interview. “I’ve already got the whole mythology: Sofie Fatale [Julie Dreyfus] will get all of Bill’s money. She’ll raise Nikki, who’ll take on the Bride. Nikki deserves her revenge every bit as much as the Bride deserved hers.

Belgian director Fabrice Du Welz has a singularly unusual, and frequently disturbing, view of humanity that translates into some truly unsettling films. Anyone who has seen his 2004 film Calvaire and walked away unscathed can attest to this. Sort of a Belgian Lars Von Trier, he's an auteur with an astonishing eye for visual imagery, determined to use startling and frequently beautiful camerawork to show viewers a dark side of humanity that lies behind doors we would probably prefer remain closed.
2009's Vinyan is no exception. Not as outright crazy nor jaw-droppingly shocking as Calvaire, it is nonetheless a harrowing journey that examines themes of parenthood, tribalism, and Eastern/Western dichotomies. Vinyan stars Rufus Sewell and Emmanuelle Béart as Paul and Jeanne Bellmer, a married couple living in Thailand, trying to deal with the disappearance of their son months ago.

Director Quentin Tarantino hasn't ruled out having kids at age 46 - because he's convinced he would be a "great dad".
The Inglourious Basterds filmmaker has been romantically linked to a string of actresses including Mira Sorvino, Julie Dreyfus and his self-described "muse" Uma Thurman.
And though Tarantino hasn't married he admits he's longed to start a family, and now he's just waiting for the right time.
He says, "There was a time a few years back that I kind of had baby fever. I kind of wanted to have a kid and I kind of got over it - not that I don't want to have kids but I just didn't have baby fever anymore. I just want to take it any way it comes... I'm really good with kids actually. You hear those stories like once you have kids your life is over but I actually like my life the way it is. That being said, I think I'd be a great dad. I'd like to come back and have me for a dad."...

Brad Pitt arrived in Tokyo yesterday, and this morning he was up for an Inglourious Basterds press conference alongside Quentin Tarantino and costars Melanie Laurent and Julie Dreyfus. They're all there to promote the movie before its release in Japan, and the stars sat down to independently field a few questions. Brad opened up about his work in the film, as well as his recent motorcycle troubles and his plans to expand his bike collection. Here's more: On his recent motorcycle accident: "I had a little mishap. No injuries, except my ego. I was trying to get away from some paparazzi and instead gave them a good story. It was my favorite bike, so that is really sad." On replacing his damaged bike: "I will definitely be looking at motorcycles [while in Japan]. You've got some of the best builders right here." On landing the role in Quentin's film: "We had heard about...

German actress Diane Kruger has appeared in dozens of movies, but other than the National Treasure flicks, few have been seen by American audiences. Her appearance in Quentin Tarantino's new film should expose her talents to a much wider audience.
In Inglourious Basterds, Kruger plays Bridget von Hammersmark, a popular film star in Nazi Germany who is secretly spying for the Allies. She admits to The Insider that she was not Tarantino's original choice for the role.
I fought for the part. I knocked down doors. I wasn't meant to be in this movie at all — Quentin had someone else in mind, and for whatever reason that didn't work out, and then I finally got to audition and that was it.
He doesn't care who you are or what you have done before — he totally resurrected Bruce Willis's career and John Travolta's career. So just being hired...

Only days ago, it was reported that Brad Pitt would only bring his oldest child, Maddox, to the set of Inglourious Basterds because Pitt didn't "think it would be right" to bring the younger children. Despite this patriarchal dictum, Pitt apparently has no problem taking Inglourious Basterds home with him.
Pitt plays Lt. Aldo Rains, a hillbilly from the mountains of Tennessee and the orchestrater of the revenge plan against the Nazis that serves as the spine of the movie's plot. In a recent interview, Pitt said that he often practiced his character's accent at home.
I did! I'd tell those little "basterds" to get out there and start scalpin'! Inglorious Basterds also stars Mike Myers, Diane Kruger, B.J. Novak, Julie Dreyfus, and Eli Roth.

Eli Roth is not as well known in front of the camera as he is behind it, but that will likely change once Quentin Tarantino's WWII revenge movie, Inglourious Basterds, opens next week. Roth wrote and directed the horror film Hostel, but steps into the spotlight in Basterds as Sgt. Donny Donowitz, a fierce Jewish Nazi hunter.
Roth's character, nicknamed "The Bear Jew" by the Nazis, specializes in bashing his enemies to a pulp with a baseball bat. To prepare to film such emotionally charged scenes, Roth said that he called on the memories of his deceased Jewish relatives and an unlikely source of inspiration: Miley Cyrus and the music of Hannah Montana.
I went back and forth thinking about my relatives being killed in concentration camps to listening to Hannah Montana.
You couldn't ever put me in a Hannah Montana concert with a baseball bat or I would wipe the place out.

According to actor Samm Levine, a World War II movie set is no place for children, especially if those children belong to co-star Brad Pitt. Levine told E! that Pitt brought his oldest son, Maddox, but refused to bring his other children to the set of Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds.
He brought Maddox one or two times because he's the oldest. But everybody wanted him to bring the others, too. Everyone would always ask him, "Hey! When are you going to bring the kids?" And he said, "It's a World War II movie. What's a good day to bring my kids to this set? I don't think it would be right." So he had a point there. And we were all pretty bummed about that, but we respected his reasoning. He's a pretty responsible guy. Inglorious Basterds also stars Mike Myers, Diane Kruger, B.J. Novak, Julie Dreyfus and Eli Roth.

Director Quentin Tarantino's latest film Inglourious Basterds, about a WWII "revenge squad" hell-bent on delivering some much-needed retribution to the Nazis for their many atrocities, has been long mired in rumor and speculation. Producer Harvey Weinstein and Tarantino have had enough. Following a showing of the film at Cannes that garnered mixed reviews, rumors started spreading that the 2:28 film was "too long for American audiences" and as much as 40 minutes might be cut for the theatrical release.
In response to the rumors, which only continued to germinate once the news hit the blogosphere, Weinstein told GQ a few weeks ago that the rumors were utterly fabricated. Now in an interview with Variety, Tarantino revealed the run-time for the final cut, stating:
I've heard these rumors that the studios told me to cut out 40 minutes. These are complete lies. The movie is actually a minute longer, in running time,...

The Weinstein Co. has released yet another poster for Quentin Tarantino's upcoming World War II revenge movie, Inglourious Basterds. This one marks the 14th poster released for the movie, which some might call unnecessary but has, frankly, been a pretty cool campaign. If all your posters are this good, you earn the right to do that — otherwise please refrain (we're looking in your direction, G.I. Joe: Rise of the Cobra).
The image is similar to earlier posters and stills of Brad Pitt as Lt. Aldo Raine, but composed in a manner stolen from reminiscent of works by master fantasy artist Frank Frazetta.
Inglorious Basterds also stars Mike Myers, Diane Kruger, B.J. Novak, Julie Dreyfus, and Eli Roth.

The latest movie from director Quentin Tarantino, Inglourious Basterds, hasn't even hit theaters yet and there's already talk of a sequel – or a prequel – on its way. Harvey Weinstein, co-chairman of The Weinstein Co. and longtime producer of Tarantino's films, said that Tarantino has enough Basterds backstory for a whole series of movies:
We could do two movies, three movies. I was begging for the movies, but Quentin wanted to do the TV series, Bob wanted to do the TV series, so it was like two against one, you know?
And then Quentin turns it into one movie. Go figure.
When asked if superstar actor Brad Pitt would be interested in reprising the role of Lt. Aldo Raine, Weinstein said:
Brad wants to do Inglourious II. We all want to do it. And the movie hasn't even come out yet! Inglourious Basterds also stars Mike Myers, Diane Kruger, B.J. Novak,...
