After virtually disappearing from the scene since 1997’s “Jackie Brown,” director Quentin Tarantino, who single-handedly started a genre trend with 1994’s “Pulp Fiction,” will finally return to the helm with his next project “Kill Bill,” The Hollywood Reporter says.
The project, also written by Tarantino, is said to be a revenge film intended as a starring vehicle for actress Uma Thurman, whom he directed to an Oscar-nominated turn in “Pulp Fiction.”
Miramax Films is expected to distribute “Kill Bill.” And according to the Reporter, Tarantino is also developing a WWII drama for the distributor.
