Quentin Tarantino Wants a Different Title for 'Kill Bill 3'
1 December 2009 2:42 PM, PST | CinemaSpy | See recent CinemaSpy news »
In chatting recently with MTV, director Quentin Tarantino discussed the third 'Kill Bill' movie, which the director confirmed will see the return of Uma Thurman and which will take place ten years after the second installment.
Given that Bill actually gets killed at the end of 'Volume 2' and actor David Carradine has since died, the title doesn't really work anymore. "It wouldn't be 'Kill Bill,'" Tarantino said. "It would be Volume 3 of the story of the Bride."
"There's no script; there are just ideas and notes" he added. "I won't do that next, but it could very well be the thing I do after next."
It's hard to know where it will all settle, or when...but if Tarantino chooses to follow up in real time, we might get a new installment in 2014, ten years after the last 'Kill Bill' film. Meanwhile, expect »
Kill Bill 3 Not Tarantino’s Next Movie & Title Will Change
1 December 2009 8:08 AM, PST | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »
When writer/director, Quentin Tarantino, announced his plans to make Kill Bill 3 a couple of months ago, one of the many speculative questions on fans’ lips was how can they make a Kill Bill 3 if the titular Bill [spoiler alert!] was killed at the end of Vol. 2? [end spoiler]. The saga of Uma Thurman’s yellow-haired, sword-wielding Bride was tied up perfectly at the end of the second film, and it’s just not possible to carry on the story of her and Bill (because there is no story to continue!).
It goes without saying that it’s an issue Mr. Tarantino would have to address when writing Kill Bill 3. But what does the man himself have to say about it? Well, MTV recently got a chance to ask Qt about the title in an interview in which he said the following – “It wouldn’t be ‘Kill Bill,’… It would be Volume 3 of the story of the Bride. »

This Week's Issue: Jaclyn Smith remembers Farrah Fawcett

As part of our Late Greats tribute package, EW asked the friends and colleagues to share their memories of the stars we lost in 2009. Farrah Fawcett Feb. 2, 1947 – June 25, 2009
By Jaclyn Smith
I think what made Farrah work was that she was so sexy, yet there was that girl-next-door quality about her, so she didn’t alienate people. Girls loved her, guys loved her. Farrah was an original, always her own person in her personal life as well as in her career. Her choices were unexpected. I am in awe of the bravery she showed in facing her disease. Her strength, »

As part of our Late Greats tribute package, EW asked the friends and colleagues to share their memories of the stars we lost in 2009. Patrick Swayze Aug. 18, 1952 – Sept. 14, 2009 By C. Thomas Howell Most of the people who were close to Patrick called him “Buddy.” He was maybe 30 when we did The Outsiders. And Buddy played the older brother, but he really was the older brother. He was always setting the example of what we should be doing. He always had a guitar slung over his shoulder. The one thing that was great about him was also the most irritating fact »

The Howling is Reborn
23 November 2009 12:43 AM, PST | Corona's Coming Attractions | See recent Corona's Coming Attractions news »
The 1981 werewolf movie The Howling is getting a second shot to find an audience. A remake is in the planning stages and tentatively scheduled to go in front of cameras next February. It could even be out in theaters by Halloween 2010.
Two movie producers known for their indie films are responsible for shepherding this new Howling. They are Joel Kastelberg and Etchie Stroh and they've got a director by the name of Joe Nimziki who used to work as a marketing executive for studios. He's written a screenplay called The Howling: Reborn, which is very appropriate since the six Howling sequels that followed the original not only stunk up the franchise, I would dare say that an entirely new stinky odor was created.
The original Howling had three great things working for it: strong direction by Joe Dante (Gremlins, the upcoming thriller The Hole 3D), a tight, serious script »

Death Race 2: Casting Now
16 November 2009 3:26 AM, PST | Screenrush | See recent Screenrush news »
Spoiler TV have got their hands on casting call details for the sequel to Paul W.S. Anderson's 2008 actioner Death Race which, lest you've forgot, starred Jason Statham as 'Frankenstein' - a prisoner on Terminal Island who is coerced to enter Death Race, a gladiator-like televised fight-to-the-death.
Anderson is set to producer the sequel, entitled Death Race: Franksenstein Lives and is searching for a handful of stars to take roles including Carl 'Luke' Lucas, an assertive, strong and charismatic convict, September Jones, a model turned 'insatiably ambitious and eye-poppingly gorgeous' journalist with the soul of an ice-pick, Elizabeth Jame Case, the sexy card girl for the fights and later a navigator in the driving stages who's teamed with Lucas...
A number of lesser roles require martial-arts skills so it looks like we can expect very much the same of the sequel as we had in the first, which was »
Eldorado - the First Horror Musical?
15 November 2009 12:26 PM, PST | 28 Days Later Analysis | See recent 28 Days Later Analysis news »
Fantastic Films seems to be on a roll in the horror genre as they are set to release Eldorado. A film that might be more of a parody than horror there are strippers, Neo-Nazi fundraisers, and a blues band known as The Jews Brothers. If that is not enough for you Eldorado will be shown in 3-D and show off the talents, for the last time, of David Carradine. Have a look at the hilarious synopsis below.
A synopsis for Eldorado right here:
"After wrongly being sent to a Neo Nazi fund raiser instead of the stripper, Blues Brothers tribute band 'The Jews Brothers', Stan and Ollie get offered a gig in El Dorado to make amends for a gig gone sour.
At the very same time Jessica a beautiful but despondent wife is on the run with a million dollars from her cheating husband's night club.
All roads lead to Eldorado, »

Start your engines: Prequel to ‘Death Race’ is greenlit
14 November 2009 1:19 PM, PST | ReelLoop.com | See recent Reel Loop news »
A prequel to Paul W.S. Anderson’s Death Race has been given the go-ahead by Universal Studios. Penned by Tony Giglio and based on the story from Anderson, the upcoming straight-to-dvd feature will delve into the back-story of the masked and mangled Frankenstein, who was original played by the late David Carradine in the 1975 original film Death Race 2000.
Carradine provided Frank’s voice in Anderson’s Death Race.
Death Race was a marginal hit that made $75 million worldwide.
Production on the loosely titled Death Race 2 will begin after Anderson completes Resident Evil: Afterlife. He will serve in a producing capacity.
No word on a cast or who will be helming the project. We don’t care. As long as Natalie Martinez is back.

Are You Ready for More 'Death Race'?
12 November 2009 9:10 PM, PST | CinemaSpy | See recent CinemaSpy news »
This past August it was announced that Impact Pictures had begun work on a prequel to Paul Ws Anderson's Death Race by hiring Tony Giglio to write the script, based on a story by Anderson.
Now, according to ShockTillYouDrop, the straight-to-dvd Death Race 2 has officially been greenlit by Universal Pictures. Production will commence once Anderson has completed Resident Evil: Afterlife, on which Giglio is serving as a second unit director.
Giglio will not direct the prequel, however.
Purportedly the script explores the past of the mangled driver known as Frankenstein, who was originally played by the late David Carradine in the 1975 film Death Race 2000, and again voiced by Carradine in last year's Death Race.
Anderson's Death Race was only modestly successful, earning $75M globally, after costing $45M to make. »

Today we continue our five-part Halloween Week retrospective on "The Crow," celebrating the film's 15th anniversary with cast and filmmaker interviews that explore its origin and legacy. Check back each day this week for another installment of our "15 Years Of Devil's Night" series.
Part Two: Johnny Depp? Christian Slater? Bon Jovi?! Casting Eric Draven
Before "The Crow," Brandon Lee's biggest role was in "Rapid Fire," an above-average action flick carried mostly by his grace, charm and combination of various martial arts styles years before the phrase "Mma" was popularized. His other credits included "Showdown in Little Tokyo" opposite Dolph Lundgren, little seen low-budget foreign action flicks "Laser Mission" and "Legacy of Rage" and the televised "Kung Fu: The Movie," with David Carradine.
Brandon dropped nearly 40 lbs. to play Eric Draven and was deeply involved in his characterization and fight choreography. His performance was at once »

DVD Review: Hell Ride
25 October 2009 11:04 AM, PDT | FilmShaft.com | See recent FilmShaft.com news »
As twilight descends on Quentin Tarantino’s contribution to nineties American cinema, fewer filmmakers are writing scripts with a copy of Pulp Fiction’s in hand for reference. A new filmmaker might reason that Tarantino is so successfully parodying himself these days that they’d be making a copy of a copy and it’s hardly worth it. But for those still in thrall to the magpie’s ouveur and determined to make knock off versions of the movies that electrified 90’s audiences, there’s still one man in Hollywood who’s willing to back them – er, Quentin Tarantino.
Hell Ride is such a movie – a low rent affair produced by Tarantino and the Weinsteins and featuring Dennis Hopper, the late David Carradine and Michael Madsen in parts so slight that you can imagine their participation was gained for a modest outlay of girls, grams and glug, probably at a »

Horror Programming at the Hollywood Film Festival
23 October 2009 12:38 PM, PDT | Pretty/Scary | See recent pretty-scary news »
For those of you in the La area, the 13th annual Hollywood Film Festival kicks off Oct. 23 and continues through the weekend with some promising horror programs at 9pm each evening.
First up on Friday is the Interplanetary (accompanied by short Attackazoids), a B-movie romp across the surface of Mars from Birmingham film-maker Chance Shirley, who shot on old-school 16mm “like it was still 1983”. Originally pitched as “Alien meets Office Space”, this is Shirley’s follow-up to 2004’s zombie comedy, Hide and Creep. Saturday’s line up is all about the walking dead and includes Spanish chaos-in-a-mall short, Zombies and Cigarettes, followed by zombie/serial-killer hybrid Die-ner.
Tightly constructed around strong performances, Die-ner ponders the existential dilemma of a sociopath stuck in – obviously – a diner, facing an onslaught from his recently deceased victims. If you prefer bloodsuckers on a Saturday night, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Undead is a dark comedy »

Trailer: Yuen Woo-Ping’s True Legend
22 October 2009 2:53 AM, PDT | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »
In 1978 he achieved his first directing credit on the seminal Snake in the Eagle's Shadow, starring Jackie Chan, then quickly followed with the similar Drunken Master. The films were smash-hits, launching Jackie Chan as a major film-star. He went on to work with such figures as Sammo Hung in Magnificent Butcher (1979), Yuen Biao in Dreadnaught (1981), Donnie Yen in several films including Iron Monkey (1993), and Jet Li and Michelle Yeoh in several films including Tai Chi Master (1993) and Wing Chun (1994). His work, particularly his action choreography on Fist of Legend (1994), attracted the attention of the Wachowski brothers, who hired him as the kung-fu choreographer on The Matrix (1999). The success of this collaboration, plus his action choreography on the following year's hit Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, made him a highly sought after figure in Hollywood. He went on to work on the Matrix sequels and Kill Bill (2003). It's been 12 years since Yuen Woo-ping, »

Must Watch: Great Trailer for Yuen Woo-Ping's True Legend
19 October 2009 9:47 PM, PDT | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »
From China comes True Legend (aka Su Qi-Er), the latest martial arts epic from Yuen Woo-Ping, the fight choreographer on all three Matrix movies and Kill Bill. The film stars Michelle Yeoh (who you'll recognize from Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon) and Man Cheuk Chiu as the lead. IMDb lists David Carradine as part of the cast as well as Jay Chou, who is playing Kato in The Green Hornet, as the "God of Martial Arts." It's a tale, kind of like Gladiator, about a wealthy man who loses everything and becomes a true legend, a "King of Beggars." The fights in this look awesome and it reminds me a lot of Jet Li's Fearless. Check it out! Watch the first trailer for Yuen Woo-Ping's True Legend: Su Qi-Er (Man Cheuk Chiu) is a wealthy man living during the Qing Dynasty who loses his fortune and reputation as a result of »

Yuen Woo-Ping.s a 'True Legend'
18 October 2009 9:45 PM, PDT | CinemaSpy | See recent CinemaSpy news »
He’s known for being the martial arts choreographer of 'The Matrix' films, the Oscar-winning Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and the 'Kill Bill' flicks, but Yuen Woo-Ping has also had quite the accomplished directorial career. Drunken Master, released in 1978, made a star out of a then-obscure Jackie Chan, and both Fist of Legend and Iron Monkey are considered classics of the genre.
After more than a decade without any directorial efforts, Yuen is getting behind the camera again for True Legend, which tells the tale of Chinese folk hero Su Qi Er. Also known as the King of Beggars, Su is a wealthy Qing dynasty patron whose status and riches are falsely taken from him, but manages to rise up from poverty again, thanks to his martial arts abilities and a few trusted pals. The movie features Vincent Zhao as Su, internationally-recognized stars Michelle Yeoh and Gordon Liu, »
