Quentin Tarantino has been hooked up to plenty of unmade sequels over time; some to his personal work, and others in established franchises. The record of unmade Quentin Tarantino films is a loooooong one, and suffering from potential gems.
Through the years, he has circled variations of Luke Cage, writer Len Deighton’s Recreation, Set and Match spy trilogy and The Man from U.N.C.L.E. Tarantino additionally cited Sgt. Rock as the one screenplay he did not write that he’d be prepared to direct. The director is kind of selective in what he chooses to make, nonetheless.
Whereas Tarantino has talked up many juicy tasks, he solely commits to people who actually maintain his curiosity. Whereas he largely focuses on making unique tales, he is mulled over some remakes and franchises too. With Tarantino’s retirement after his upcoming, unannounced tenth film, it is uncertain he’ll circle again to any of the sequels he thought-about in earlier years.
Kill Invoice: Vol 3
The ending of Kill Invoice: Vol 2 wrapped up The Bride’s (Uma Thurman) journey, the place she succeeded in her titular mission and was reunited together with her daughter. Nonetheless, Tarantino left a number of threads dangling, such because the unresolved destiny of Daryl Hannah’s vicious murderer Elle Driver.
Tarantino talked many instances a couple of potential Kill Invoice: Vol 3 that picked up twenty years later with The Bride and her daughter being focused for revenge. The filmmaker has up and dowm on the chances of the sequel truly taking place, however he has primarily dominated it out now.
Tarantino cited his sheer fatigue from making Kill Invoice as a key motive why he by no means significantly sat right down to develop a 3rd movie. Nonetheless, to assist promote the discharge of 2025’s Kill Invoice: The Complete Bloody Affair, Tarantino allowed an unfilmed chapter from his unique screenplay titled Yuki’s Revenge to be tailored into an animated brief by Fortnite.
This chapter was meant for the primary Kill Invoice, and noticed The Bride focused by Yuki, the sister of Gogo (Chiaki Kuriyama). This brief is probably going as near Kill Invoice: Vol 3 as followers will get.
Kill Invoice Anime Prequels
For a time, Tarantino had a complete franchise plan for the Kill Invoice saga, as he was so taken with the world he had created. His concepts included an anime prequel involving The Bride’s time with the Lethal Viper Assassination Squad. This may have added some backstory to this workforce, who’re solely briefly glimpsed within the films.
Tarantino additionally had an thought for an anime exploring how Invoice (David Carradine) grew to become such a strong murderer. This may have explored his coaching along with his “Godfathers”: Pei Mei (Johnny Mo), Esteban Vihaio (Michael Parks) and Hatori Hanso (Sonny Chiba). Sadly, neither animated film got here to be.
Double V Vega
Pulp Fiction’s Vincent Vega was written with the late, nice Michael Madsen in thoughts. Madsen had already performed the psychotic thief Vic Vega in Reservoir Canine, with the intention being that the Vegas have been twins. Nonetheless, Madsen dropped out to star in Wyatt Earp, so John Travolta setted into Vincent’s footwear for Pulp Fiction.
For a interval, Tarantino mulled a prequel titled Double V Vega, the place the 2 brothers have a violent, madcap journey in Amsterdam. Nonetheless, as time handed and the 2 stars aged out of with the ability to convincingly play youthful variations of the Vegas, the venture was deserted.
Killer Crow
Tarantino spent years penning Inglourious Basterds, with a number of chapters being dropped from the ultimate model. This features a phase following a gaggle of African American troopers who, after being messed over by the navy, take their revenge towards some white troopers.
Whereas it did not make the lower in Inglourious Basterds, Tarantino thought-about recycling Killer Crow as a part of a unfastened trilogy that additionally contains Django Unchained. It seems the filmmaker cooled on the concept, as little has been heard in regards to the WW2 journey in over a decade.
Star Trek 4
Some of the notorious cases of Tarantino speaking up a sequel that by no means occurred is the unmade fourth movie in Star Trek’s Kelvin Timeline. Tarantino started growing this across the time he was engaged on As soon as Upon a Time in Hollywood, with the story mentioned to be primarily based on TOS‘ episode “A Piece of the Motion.”
This noticed the Enterprise visiting a planet modeled after Twenties gangster tradition. QT deliberate this sequel to be R-rated, however he additionally supplied differing ideas on setting it contained in the Kelvin continuity. Whereas he favored the script and was prepared to disregard his self-imposed ten-movie restrict, Tarantino finally walked away from the movie.
Halloween 6
Most likely the closest QT got here to a gory slasher was being supplied the possibility to put in writing and direct Halloween 6. It seems Tarantino was by no means completely bought on the notion, although he did conceive of a plot the place Michael Myers and his “handler,” The Man in Black, go on a violent highway journey collectively.
Admittedly, his Halloween 6 premise sounded fairly skinny, and Tarantino as an alternative opted to make Jackie Brown as his subsequent venture. Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers finally arrived in 1995 to poor evaluations and field workplace, resulting in the saga being delicate rebooted with Halloween H20: 20 Years Later a couple of years later.
Grindhouse 2
The unique Grindhouse was a loving ode to the scuzzy exploitation films Tarantino and director pal Robert Rodriguez grew up with. This “double invoice” noticed QT helming Loss of life Proof, a couple of stuntman (performed by Kurt Russell) who murders girls utilizing his soaped-up stunt automotive, whereas Rodriguez’s Planet Terror was a gory zombie journey.
The film is arguably greatest recognized now for its assortment of faux trailers, helmed by the likes of Edgar Wright and Rob Zombie. There have been hopes of Grindhouse spawning a sequel, with Tarantino planning to make a retro Kung-fu epic totally in Mandarin as one half of a brand new double characteristic. Grindhouse’s monetary failure killed that plan, sadly.
Django/Zorro
Like Kill Invoice, Tarantino had notions to increase on the world of Django Unchained. The Hateful Eight began life as a paperback sequel titled Django in White Hell, earlier than the filmmaker reworked the idea right into a screenplay, as he felt Django simply did not belong within the unique story. 2015 then noticed the arrival of the crossover comic Django/Zorro.
Jamie Foxx briefly reprised the position of Django for a cameo within the parody A Million Methods to Die within the West.
Years later, Tarantino had deliberate to co-write an adaptation the place Foxx would have teamed with Antonio Banderas’ Zorro from The Masks of Zorro duology. Like so many different tasks on this record, the venture quietly died a couple of years.
On line casino Royale
As with Star Trek 4 and Kill Invoice: Vol 3, Tarantino’s On line casino Royale is among the nice “what-ifs” of his profession. The filmmaker pursued the rights to the primary James Bond novel for years and had deliberate to make it impartial of EON’s mainline collection.
He wished Pierce Brosnan as 007, along with making it R-rated and a Nineteen Sixties-set, black and white thriller. Nonetheless, EON finally nabbed the rights to the e book within the early 2000s (a lot to Quentin Tarantino’s chagrin) and so they used it as the primary entry within the Daniel Craig reboot period.
