Quentin Tarantino says 'Kill Bill Vol. 3' is 'probably not happening'

Oscar winner also says he won't direct a James Bond film

It looks like Quentin Tarantino may have killed the chances for a third film in the "Kill Bill" series.

While he has often made references to an upcoming third volume, recent comments from the Oscar-winning writer-director have all but killed that idea.

While speaking to We Got This Covered at the Toronto premiere of his new film "Django Unchained," Tarantino was asked about the anticipated threequel.

He replied, "I don’t know if there’s ever going to be a 'Kill Bill. Vol 3.' We’ll see, probably not though."

In Volumes 1 and 2, The Bride (Thurman) exacts her revenge on her former boss, Bill (David Carradine) and her ex-teammates (Vivica Fox, Michael Madsen, Lucy Liu and Daryl Hannah) after they leave her for dead at her own wedding.

Volume 3 was rumored to be about the daughter of Vernita Green (Fox) getting revenge on Thurman's character some ten years after the events in the first film.

Tarantino also revealed that he won't be directing a James Bond film anytime soon. When asked about the possibility, he responded, "No. 'Casino Royale' was the one I wanted to direct; they missed their opportunity.”

That makes Tarantino the second big name director this week to turn away from the 007 franchise.

"Django Unchained," starring Jamie Foxx, Leonardo DiCaprio and Christoph Waltz, hits theaters December 25.

Like this is surprising? Throw Kill Bill vol. 3 on the pile with the five dozen other projects Tarantino has promised and failed to deliver over the last 20 years.

While I was a big fan of the first movie (and the second one was alright), he did finish the story in Volume 2. It's called "Kill Bill" and that's exactly what she did. While I wouldn't be against a third film, it's really not necessary. I will admit, though, that premise does sound pretty cool.

It would be cool if the black mumba trained BB to be an assassin in defense of the revenge on Vivica's daughter. Then just name the movie off BB's code name. Although Beatrice has started a new life for her daughter, the past life of assassination would always come back to haunt her and it would be enivitable for the student to become the master for her daughters sake.

- Greg If you ever feel raw about it... Remember Vernita Green's daughter - she'll be out for revenge - In my opinion though, the best part of Kill Bill was O-ren Ishii and her gang...There would be no Japanese sword culture aspect to a 3rd Kill Bill as Beatrix has no business being there anymore...I wouldn't doubt Tarantino's ability to make an incredible storyline to a 3rd installment, but it would be very very difficult to do.

I think a good way for Kill Bill 3 to begin would be the killing of Beatrix daughter.

A.O.S

Bring Beatrix back for one more instalment in one of the most action packed films I've ever seen. I'm only 15 and I am a huge fan of Tarantino's work, but my favourites have to be the 2 Kill Bill's. I have watched those films so many times I know most of dialogue by heart. If he wanted he could make another volume and without a dought it would be unbelievably brilliant, but its up to him. We'll all just have to wait and see.

If he wanted, Tarantino could make another unbelievable Kill Bill instalment and nearly all of his fans would be grateful, and I would be one of them. I'm only 15 but I've seen every one of Quentin's films dozens of times but my favourites are the 2 Kill Bills. Hell, I'm watching vol.1 as I'm typing this. In my own opinion I think he should transform Kill Bill into a bloody trilogy, but that is entirely up to him. I guess we will have to wait and see what happens

If he doesn't do a KB 3 I'd love to see a director's cut where he sequences 1 & 2 together like Coppola did for the first two Godfathers. Call it a "saga", The Kill Bill Saga, like Francis did.

For the fact that the Bride ,after killing Vivica A Fox ,told her daughter she(the Bride) will be waiting for a revenge anytime when the daughter is ready. The 3rd KILL BILL should be about that & again the title won't make sense coz Bill died on the 2nd volume.

The plot of Vernita Green's daughter taking revenge against Beatrix and BB would be great. However, you are forgetting one more character that could help Nikki (Vernita's daughter) and her road to revenge ~ Elle Driver. Remember, she's not dead. She's just has no eyeballs in her socket.
