The Latest On Quentin Tarantino's KILL BILL

Hey folks, Harry here... No, I don't have a start date for KILL BILL, the next Quentin Tarantino film... but I do have knowledge that the film is moving forward.

As you read this, Uma Thurman is working her ass off training to wield a katana in the Japanese Shogun style. She's spending hours a day training for this, and has been for weeks now. In addition, I know she's been training in other martial arts, with whom... I don't know, but I do know that her Katana trainer is none other than Tom Muzila... who has worked on all the good Steven Seagal films (aka nothing after UNDER SIEGE), THE PHANTOM, HIGHLANDER ENDGAME and a ton of other work. He's an ex special forces badass according to Monkey King, and is damn fine with a katana according to reports.

Now here's the thing, at this point Quentin Tarantino is coming to Austin for SXSW, he has at least one panel that I know of with Robert Rodriguez and Richard Linklater. I know at one time he was wanting to film part of KILL BILL in Austin. That is the second week of March. Is Quentin set to start up on KILL BILL? Has he been quietly assembling a cast beyond Uma and the long rumored Warren Beatty, who has been alleged to play Bill? Inquiring minds like mine wanna know.

When Quentin was last in Austin for his Film Festival he was finishing up a polish on the script and was quite excited. Let's hope this is a pre-strike flick... I don't want months of delays. That'd blow...
