Movie Interview by Neils Hesse

London Press Conference with Quentin Tarantino via satellite.


This film is quite an achievement for you, your view?

I can imagine that I was quite possessed on this one, like a mountain climber putting a flag on Everest.

What next?

Some individual characters form KILL BILL could be in their pieces, as I know all these characters so well, I'm thinking of some graphic novels and an anime feature chronicling the life of Bill and his foster fathers from the age of thirteen and then the sequel to these two with Vivica's character's daughter seeking revenge.

Did you have any doubts about splitting the film up?

The first one was cool, but when I had finished it I had virtually nothing for the second one, so maybe a little worry but no doubts in my vision.

When you raided the stars’ wardrobes did you pick up Samuel L Jackson as well?

Well he read the script and he loves kung fu films so he said you gotta put me in this film man, and I said there’s no part for you in it and he said he was feeling the organ player bit and then we basically worked out that bit of dialogue on the day.

Did or do you experience self-doubt?

I don't have much doubt but I'm a movie fan and I made this movie for my tastes and I was just betting that there's people with my tastes out there.

Is there anything in your movies or others that has turned your stomach?

In mine no. But in others yes very much for example when Johnny Knoxville put leeches in his mouth that was yeesh!

David and Darryl have had a good career revival thanks to you any British acts you'd like to revive?

Yes, Tommy Steele, Dick Van Dyke and Christopher Lee.

Q (From Phase9 Reporter Neils Hesse)

What happened to INGLORIOUS BASTARDS and you once spoke of BODY MELT, do you plan to make a remake of it?

I am going to do a DIRTY DOZEN type movie and if I could get a good horror film that I could do cheaply I would do it.

What is your reaction to the box office takings?

It is pretty terrific, I worked on this baby for 4 years, it is great, it would be anti-climatic if it didn’t get so well received.

Any more plans for acting for you?

I've been working on KILL BILL, I did some stuff for TV on ALIAS but if I got a good role or if there was a role that was right for me in one of my films I'd do it. There wasn't anything for me in this one.

Why was the Michael Jai White scene cut?

It wasn’t right, but I pretty much used everything else, it's on the DVD though.

Do you think that you will surprise Cannes with your choice of films?

It is cool to go there as president, he is not a bully, he pretty much decides the aesthetic of the jury. I've had a lot of fun at the Edinburgh film festival.
