Tarantino's Kill Bill Short Premieres in Fortnite
Quentin Tarantino's long-envisioned addition to his Kill Bill saga, a previously unfilmed chapter titled The Lost Chapter: Yuki's Revenge, will premiere inside the video game Fortnite on November 30 at 2 p.m. ET, marking a collaboration between the director, Epic Games, and actress Uma Thurman.
The short film revives a sequence Tarantino wrote for Kill Bill Vol. 1 but cut due to budget constraints and pacing issues. In the story, Yuki Yubari, the younger sister of Gogo Yubari, travels from Japan to the United States to avenge her sibling's death at the hands of The Bride during the House of Blue Leaves massacre. The action unfolds as Yuki confronts Thurman's character in a destructive showdown across a suburban neighborhood, culminating in a violent resolution. Thurman reprised her role through motion-capture performance, with Epic Games animating the piece using Unreal Engine and incorporating Fortnite's in-game character models for added cameos.
This project emerges as Fortnite launches its seventh season, following a live event scheduled for November 29 at 2 p.m. ET. Players can access the premiere via the game's Discover section, with viewing doors opening 30 minutes early....
