Quentin Tarantino's Explanation for Lost Kill Bill Chapter's Appearance in Fortnite

Quentin Tarantino recently revealed details about the much-anticipated release of Kill Bill: The Lost Chapter Yukis Revenge within Fortnite. The director discussed how this animated short, once a discarded draft, finally transformed into a complete project after more than two decades.

The Animated Short and Its Theatrical Plans

The eight-minute film will also see a limited theatrical release as a segment of Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair. Uma Thurman returns to her iconic role as The Bride for this special project.

How the Collaboration Came Together

At a launch event at Los Angeles Vista Theater, Tarantino shared insights on the collaboration with Epic Games. He explained that he initially thought the company was only interested in licensing characters for Fortnite. Tarantino recounted, They very innocently asked me, Do you have something thats, like, eight to 12 minutes long that could be good for our purposes?

In response, Tarantino submitted an early draft of Kill Bill featuring an extra chapter with Yuki Yubari, Gogos twin sister, which had been cut from the original film. He admitted, We couldnt do it, it was just too crazy, it was just too much action. It never even made second drafts.

Epic Games expressed interest in expanding the chapter into a fully realized animated short. Tarantino noted, And they were, like, Lets do this. And here we are.

Balancing Fan Expectations

The director emphasized his intention to please both Kill Bill enthusiasts and Fortnite players, saying, I want both the Kill Bill fan and the Fortnite fan to be totally effing happy about this collaboration.

This project was initially reported by Disheeta Maheshwari on ComingSoon.
