Even before the second instalment of "Kill Bill" has hit UK box offices director Quentin Tarantino planning a third film.

In an exclusive interview with Entertainment Weekly, he is reported to have revealed plans to turn the duo into a trilogy.

He told the magazine, "Initially I was thinking this would be my 'Dollars' trilogy."

But recent filming schedules seem to have worn the controversial director out: "I was going to do a new one every ten years. But I need at least 15 years before I do this again."

Mr Tarantino says he even has the third film mapped out, but confesses Uma Thurman, the assassin bride of the first two films, will not star in the third: "I've already got the whole mythology."

So, if you don't wish to know the result, look away now: "The star will be Vernita Green's daughter, Nikki (Ambrosia Kelley). Sofie Fatale (Julie Dreyfus) will get all of Bill's money. She'll raise Nikki, who'll take on The Bride."

Justifying his decision, the Hollywood director admitted: "Nikki deserves her revenge every bit as much as The Bride deserved hers. I might even shoot a couple of scenes for it now so I can get the actresses while they are this age."
