Kill Bill Anime Prequel Possibly Coming

[Goemon]

"The film will be drawn in the Japanese anime style used in Kill Bill Volume 1 and will focus on the three men - pimp Estebian Vihaio and martial arts masters Hattori Hanzo (Sonny Chiba's character) and Pei Mei (Gordon Liu's character) - who turned Bill into a ruthless killer.

Tarantino is set to write and produce the animated film. When is anyone's guess. His next project is to direct a segment of Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller's comic book adaptation Sin City."

It's not a sure thing yet, but would it be badass? Yes.

Been hearing stuff about this for a while, I really hope it happens. That Sin City adaptation might be cool though (although I never really read the comic personally).

dojin? where?

OMG...

hope this IS true Kill Bill will rock, esp. when done in the style of the anime segment on Vol.1 (btw, the slim yakuza guy who wears white is cool)

Agreed though that whole kicking of the cigar butt was a bit much. ;D

All this thinkin about it is making me want to see the anime scene agian... luckily i'm only 2 days away from the DVD release

That guy in white was really cool and I thought the cigar kicking thing rocked. I dunno if you guys have heard it though, but there's been a rumour going around for ages that the guy in white is supposed to be a young version of Bill... personally I think people are talking out of their asses
