AceShowbiz - Quentin Tarantino has hinted at a possibility of "Kill Bill 3". When asked whether he will make the third sequel of the action/crime movie, the director simply replied, "Why not?"

According to Variety, The 58-year-old was pressed with the question on Tuesday, October 19 at the Rome Film Festival, where he was the recipient of a lifetime achievement award from Italian horror maestro Dario Argento. While he's still open to the idea of "Kill Bill 3", the filmmaker noted that first, "I want to make a comedy."

Quentin went on to note that he's gearing up for a book release and unspecified project. "It's not like my next movie. It's a piece of something else that I'm thinking about doing - and I'm not going to describe what it is," he divulged.

"But part of this thing, there is supposed to be a Spaghetti Western in it... I'm looking forward to shooting that [thing] because it's going to be really fun," the Knoxville native added. "Because I want to shoot it in the Spaghetti Western style where everybody's speaking a different language."

"The Mexican Bandido is an Italian; the hero is an American; the bad sheriff is a German; the Mexican saloon girl is Israeli. And everybody is speaking a different language," the writer/producer explained further. "And you [the actors] just know: OK, when he's finished talking then I can talk."

Quentin had previously floated the idea of expanding the "Kill Bill" franchise into a trilogy. It made Uma Thurman feel convinced that there will be no "Volume 3". When asked about the matter, the actress portraying assassin The Bride told "Today" in October 2020, "I don't think so." The leading lady continued to share, "I think it's already been made and been played and it's done in Quentin's mind... He's onto the next thing."
