The Vega Brothers
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Vega Brothers (also known as Double V Vega) is the title of an abandoned film project that was to be written and directed by Quentin Tarantino. According to recent interviews Tarantino does not plan to proceed with the project. It would have starred Michael Madsen and John Travolta reprising the roles of Vic (Mr. Blonde) from Reservoir Dogs, and Vincent from Pulp Fiction, respectively.
[edit] Details
According to director Quentin Tarantino in a 2004 interview with Rolling Stone [1]:
"It's a sequel to both Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs, actually, it's a sequel and it's a prequel. It's the Vega Brothers, played by Michael Madsen and John Travolta. I have been trying to do it for years, and the more time I take, the older these two guys get. But I've come up with an idea that won't much matter how much they age... the magic of movies. It's going to be great. It'll be funny, and these guys are so great, alright, they're going to be like two oversized mob-men fighting over the last bowl of pasta, that we can't go wrong. It's just going to be John and Michael, and I hope to make this my next movie. We're laying down the pipework for it now."
[edit] On The Opie & Anthony Radio Show
On April 3, 2007 Quentin Tarantino appeared on the Opie & Anthony show to promote Grindhouse and during the interview, "The Vega Brothers" movie was brought up. Tarantino stated that it's "looking unlikely" and that he probably will not make the film because "everyone is older now" [2]; however, he did announce that the prequel would have been called "Double V Vega" and the story would have been about Vincent Vega's time in Amsterdam, running one of Marsellus Wallace's clubs, and Vic visiting him. Tarantino did say he had another idea about how to work around the actors being a little older and the characters being dead, the idea being that Vic and Vincent had older brothers.
