5 hours ago | FusedFilm | See recent FusedFilm news »

Everyone’s favorite actor (at least the 6500 screaming girls at Comic-Con’s favorite) Johnny Depp is going from the lovable pirate Jack Sparrow to playing the revolutionary Poncho Villa, considerably one of the most challenging roles in his career.

Robert Pattinson Ponders His Post-'Twilight' Possibilities

14 hours ago | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »

From Hollywood Crush: Having been heralded to fame by the "Twilight Saga" and the once-fledgling Summit studio behind the mega-successful franchise, Robert Pattinson can't help but wonder sometimes if it's all just a fluke. "I've only done one movie outside of the 'Twilight' series, 'Remember Me,' "Rob recently said about his first post-fame project with Emilie de Ravin and Pierce Brosnan. "But even that I did with the same studio, so I guess I'm still a little bit blind as to what my actual economic viability will be outside of the series."

Robert will be testing that "economic viability" with several projects throughout 2010 including the Guy de Maupassant adaptation "Bel Ami" with Uma Thurman and the Western "Unbound Captives," which the actor discussed recently with MTV News.

Pattinson Nervous About Life After Twilight

3 December 2009 12:01 AM, PST | WENN | See recent WENN news »

Twilight star Robert Pattinson is terrified about continuing his career after the vampire franchise - because movie studio bosses are pressuring him to draw in huge audiences and deliver moving performances.

The Brit has been bombarded with scripts ever since he shot to fame as vampire Edward Cullen in the hit 2008 film - but he's still adjusting to the idea of being able to reject a role after years of taking whatever parts came his way.

And Pattinson admits he's nervous about being cast in big-budget movies - because he's only starred in one other film, Remember Me, since the Twilight series changed his life.

He tells MTV.com, "It's definitely different. You get offered stuff that you would never dream of getting offered before, but that's also scary. You don't have to audition for anything. (But) I don't want to do a movie just so it gets made. You have to question yourself a lot more. Before Twilight, I did any movie that I got (offered), and you'd try and make the best of it afterwards. But now, you're expected to come into the movie and provide not only economic viability, but also a performance as well. You can't just mess around. People are like, 'We're employing you to be here, as a star and an actor.' It's difficult, and it's scary."

But the 23 year old can expect some good advice about the movie business from the high-profile actors he's set to work with, including Uma Thurman, Rachel Weisz and Hugh Jackman.

He adds, "I'm doing a movie (with Thurman) called Bel Ami in February, an adaption to a Guy de Maupassant novel. And I'm doing - I hope - a Western with Rachel Weisz and Hugh Jackman called Unbound Captives sometime around there as well. They've got to try and juggle things around until everybody's schedules work." »

Quentin Tarantino Wants a Different Title for 'Kill Bill 3'

1 December 2009 2:42 PM, PST | CinemaSpy | See recent CinemaSpy news »

In chatting recently with MTV, director Quentin Tarantino discussed the third 'Kill Bill' movie, which the director confirmed will see the return of Uma Thurman and which will take place ten years after the second installment.

Given that Bill actually gets killed at the end of 'Volume 2' and actor David Carradine has since died, the title doesn't really work anymore. "It wouldn't be 'Kill Bill,'" Tarantino said. "It would be Volume 3 of the story of the Bride."

"There's no script; there are just ideas and notes" he added. "I won't do that next, but it could very well be the thing I do after next."

It's hard to know where it will all settle, or when...but if Tarantino chooses to follow up in real time, we might get a new installment in 2014, ten years after the last 'Kill Bill' film. Meanwhile, expect »

Director Quentin Tarantino talked about the third Kill Bill film, which will once again star Uma Thurman. The next Kill Bill will take place ten years after the second installment.

“It wouldn’t be Kill Bill,” Tarantino said discussing the title to his new endeavor. “It would be Volume 3 of the story of the Bride.”

Uma Thurman revealed in October than she had been in discussions with Tarantino over the project. “Yeah, I think it’d be fun,” the hot 39-year-old said.

“[Quentin and I] did chat, we did chat. He has not yet finished the script. I don’t even really know if he’s really started it, although I got a taste of some of his ideas and they are really good. »

Kill Bill 3 Not Tarantino’s Next Movie & Title Will Change

1 December 2009 8:08 AM, PST | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »

When writer/director, Quentin Tarantino, announced his plans to make Kill Bill 3 a couple of months ago, one of the many speculative questions on fans’ lips was how can they make a Kill Bill 3 if the titular Bill [spoiler alert!] was killed at the end of Vol. 2? [end spoiler]. The saga of Uma Thurman’s yellow-haired, sword-wielding Bride was tied up perfectly at the end of the second film, and it’s just not possible to carry on the story of her and Bill (because there is no story to continue!).

It goes without saying that it’s an issue Mr. Tarantino would have to address when writing Kill Bill 3. But what does the man himself have to say about it? Well, MTV recently got a chance to ask Qt about the title in an interview in which he said the following – “It wouldn’t be ‘Kill Bill,’… It would be Volume 3 of the story of the Bride. »

Guess What, Tarantino Talks a Third 'Kill Bill'

1 December 2009 2:20 AM, PST | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »

Here we have a short tidbit from MTV as they spoke with Quentin Tarantino about a third film in the Kill Bill franchise and his confidence is always encouraging, but his delivery is rarely reliable as reporting on Tarantino projects has taught me a lot over the past six years.

So, when he says, "There's no script; there are just ideas and notes," I believe him and I think most everyone else does as well. However, I would be willing to bet hard cash Tarantino has ideas and notes on hundreds of films, so to say that about another Kill Bill is like saying the sky is blue. But, when he adds, "I won't do that next, but it could very well be the thing I do after next," I get a bit more of a feeling we are on to something as this is Tarantino backing away from saying »

'Kill Bill 3' Will Have Different Name

1 December 2009 12:56 AM, PST | Aceshowbiz | See recent Aceshowbiz news »

Few months ago, Quentin Tarantino has shared his plan to make "Kill Bill 3". As the villain, Bill, was dead at the end of Volume 2, the director has decided to change the title of the upcoming movie. "It wouldn't be 'Kill Bill'," he told MTV. "It would be Volume 3 of the story of the Bride."

Though so, the third "Kill Bill" film will not be happening soon as Tarantino still has another upcoming movie project. "There's no script, there are just ideas and notes. I won't do that next, but it could very well be the thing I do after next," he stated. Assuring that the movie will definitely happen, he added, "We're getting there. We're about one movie away."

Previously, Uma Thurman has said that she is ready to reprise her role as The Bride. However, Tarantino believed he should give her ten years off before she is back in the action film. »

Quentin Tarantino renames Bill

1 December 2009 12:00 AM, PST | Virgin Media - Movies | See recent Virgin Media - Movies news »

Quentin Tarantino's next 'Kill Bill' movie will have a different name. The cult director has revealed he will have to re-title the third in the martial arts action franchise because the title character Bill - who was portrayed by the late actor David Carradine - was killed off at the end of the second movie. Quentin explained: ''It wouldn't be 'Kill Bill'. It would be Volume Three of the story of the Bride.'' The Bride, also known as Beatrice, is the female lead portrayed by Uma Thurman.

Quentin Tarantino Says Third 'Kill Bill' Film Will Have Different Title

'It would be Volume 3 of the story of the Bride,' writer/director tells us of the franchise.

In all the talk about a third installment of Quentin Tarantino's martial-arts opus "Kill Bill," little attention has been paid — um, almost 6-year-old spoiler alert? — to one tiny fact: Bill does in fact get killed at the end of Volume 2. One would assume it'd be difficult, or at least require some nifty storytelling trickery, to title a film after a character that already has already been axed.

We posed just this question to Quentin Tarantino in a recent interview, because as far as we can tell, the writer/director has not addressed the title issue.

"It wouldn't be 'Kill Bill,' " Tarantino confirmed to us. "It would be Volume 3 of the story of the Bride."

The Bride, of course — that highly »
