In a cover story, the Village Voice checks in with QT on the eve of Kill Bill Vol. One. My feeling right now is that it’ll either be really good or really terrible.

Silly Rabbit.
The full-on trailer for QT’s Kill Bill is now online and…um, well, it looks better than the teaser, at any rate. I expect to see this in a double feature with the Coen’s Intolerable Cruelty on October 10, but I must say I still have pretty big reservations about this project (and I like mace-wielding Japanese schoolgirls as much as the next guy.) I guess we’ll see. Also in the trailer pipe, Halle Berry’s Gothika (due out October 24)…ho-hum.
Shifting Releases.
Miramax announces the second half of Quentin Tarantino’s Kill Bill will open Feb. 20 (Part I arrives Oct. 10), while Tim Burton moves his latest project, Big Fish, up against RotK on December 18. (General release to follow 1/23/04).
Here Comes the Bride.
The teaser poster for Kill Bill (pt. I) makes it online. More appealing than the first trailer, at any rate. Also, in movie news, the trailer for Matrix: Revolutions is now available in Quicktime. I haven’t seen it yet, but word is it’s similar to the footage from Enter the Matrix.
Cleaved.
Hmmm…the rumor’s been around for a few weeks, but it’s finally been confirmed: Tarantino’s Kill Bill is being split in two. Something smells fishy to me. Even as a QT fan back in the day, I thought the first trailer for this (excuse me, these) film(s) was really blah. Is Harvey Weinstein forcing a return on what’s starting to look like a dodgy property? I guess we’ll have to spend twice as much to find out.
Dead in the Water?
The teaser for Quentin Tarantino’s Kill Bill makes it online. Gotta say, this really doesn’t do much for me. In fact, I’d go as far to say that this teaser makes it look like a complete disaster. But I’m sure it’ll be a better film than it’s being made out to be here.
Fightin’ Wuma.
You’ve probably seen these by now, but in my absence Time-Asia posted the first pics from Kill Bill, Quentin Tarantino’s next.
