WTF Happened to Quentin Tarantino’s Unmade Vega Brothers Movie?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 11 гру 2022
- If you're a hardcore Quentin Tarantino fan, you'll know that Michael Madsen's sadistic Vic Vega in Reservoir Dogs and John Travolta's Vincent Vega in Pulp Fiction are brothers. Despite both characters dying in their respective films, Quentin Tarantino toyed with the idea of spinning the characters off into a prequel movie for many years. Eventually, Travolta and Madsen likely aged out of the idea, given that they would have had to convincingly play younger than they did in Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction. Still, the notion of a Vega Brothers movie is interesting.
In this episode of WTF Happened to this Unmade Movie, which is written by Bryan Wolford, narrated by Bronwyn Kelly-Seigh, edited by Paul Cooper and produced by Taylor James Johnson, we dig into the movie that never was. We try to determine how far along Tarantino got in the process while considering what the film might have been like. Would it have ended with Vincent hooking up with Samuel L. Jackson's Jules Winnfield and going to work for Marsellus Wallace? Would the more sadistic Vic have ended up at odds with the nicer Vincent? These are interesting questions to ponder, even if a Vega Brothers movie is impossible now unless QT recasts the roles. Given that he's sworn only to direct one more movie, this project ever happening seems highly improbable, but it's fun to think about.
Did we miss out by not having a Vega Brothers movie? Let us know in the comments!

I'm not a doctor but I don't know if I'd call Vincent Vega a "psychotic killer". Vic Vega, yeah. Vincent strikes me more like a soldier. He kills on orders, not necessarily because he enjoys it.
Whereas Vic's exact words are, "It *amuses me* to torture....a cop."
Watched Pulp Fiction last weekend and watched Resovoir Dogs last night and Vic was clearly more unpredictable, unstable and dangerous than Vincent
You gonna bark all day little doggie…
@@laurarules3642 Shit yes he was... I mean in the robbery he was killing ppl just to be killing them. He said it was because they didn't do what he said but after the scene with the cop YOU KNEW he just wanted to kill em. Mr.White didn't like him AT ALL... Hell none of them did. Only Nice Guy Eddie and his dad was loyal to Vic.
He should do a animated Vega brothers movie so they look the right age and then use all the actors real voices.
Nah
Agreed
Anime
That sounds like it could either be amazing or awful.
@@DrewberTravels Yes but with Quentin writing and producing I'd bet it would be done well.
He should write the book and have them do the audiobook for it.
Great idea
Low key; this needs to be his final film.
No cap sus, shit like literally be busin lowkey
Ehh kill bill 3 would be better
Nah actor's are too old.
It needed to be a film 20 years ago. The actors are way too now and he has said he’s not making it many years ago
Recast
Shame Victor and Vincent never got to share the screen together, it might have made for an interesting prequel if we'd seen them in their younger days, before they headed to their respective lives of crime!
At this point Id take a movie unrelated to reservoir dogs and Pulp fiction just so both characters was still alive
With the new technology, the actors could actually pull it off. Or maybe a video game like Ghostbusters
You literally just described the video.
@@saturncrush video game would be sick. Even an animated movie?
QT Made up for this by having Bill & Bud in Kill Bill. I've been hearing the rumors and story of "The Vega Brother" movie since like 1998. A shame it never got off the ground.
They also connected dogs to true romance, since Mr white's ex girlfriend was Alabama.
I remember in the 90s so badly looking forward to this movie. First read about it in entertainment weekly I think. Then just kept waiting and waiting. Some things just weren’t meant to be.
Ok she mentioned it in the video but at this point Id settle with if he released it as a book.. Mabye John and Michael could do the audio book
That would be the closest we could get. Graphic novel/audio book. I’m in. Lol.
I wrote a screenplay inspired by this unmade movie. But two sisters instead of brothers. It was fun imagining what could have been.
Mike Rinder ex Scientologist said that Scientology advised John Travolta not to do Pulp Fiction, due to its “themes” luckily he didn’t take that advice and did the film.
Beautifully done!
Love this channel. !
Damn. First I'm hearing of this. Would loved to have seen a film with those two characters in it. Unfortunately those two are well past the age where they could reprise those roles.
This was my favorite potential QT project that will never happen. I remember hearing about this and mourning what could have been.
Edit- Reservoir Dogs is still his best movie. Death Proof, Inglorious Basterds, and Hateful Eight didn't really take me there. Once Upon A Time...was great.
You forgot Jackie Brown. True Romance was also great
@@StoutProper I like all his movies tbh, those are the 3 I liked the least. Loved Jackie and Django. Kill Bill 1 & 2 were cool and Pulp Fiction is probably my 2nd favorite. I didn't include True Romance because he only wrote it. Take care tho and have a good holiday.✌
Who says this has to be a live-action movie?
I was thinking the same. This idea is perfect for a graphic novel and it could happen with the right creative team behind it! (As long as Tarantino is willing to let someone else play with his toys, of course!)
Claymation would be perfect!
Nah, the idea is better off left alone. That's like saying, what if we made a sequel to 7, but it was animated.
@@BrandonOfJapan that isn't similar at all, seven has a beginning a middle part an ending and that's it, in pulp fiction and reservoir dogs we getting that these are vega brothers and they had some f up stuff in Amsterdam together while running a club so yea it does need to be at least a book
Thanks for the video
I'd definitely be down for a book version of double v!
Ayyy opie and anthony lol that was a great interview
I wanted that movie so bad but tarantino felt John Travolta and Michael Madson gotten to old for the roles if they made it after pulp fiction it would have worked
Yeah they're both too old now and have gained a lot of weight too
@@laurarules3642 yea a lot of weight if they made it after pulp fiction Then yes
To follow movie conventions, he could make double v, animated, using all og actors voicing. Make it brief 15 minute short shown before his next film, could be a mini series before each feature film, could use different animation styles each time, etc. It's doable
Michael Madsen had signed to another movie "Wyatt Erp" 3 days before he got asked to do Pulp Fiction. He was supposed to play Vic Vega again. John Travolta was asked to play a new character due to Michael not being able to join. Also nobody wanted him to hire John but Quentin wanted him and wouldn't change his mind.
I suspect another reason may be that QT may quite naturally not be keen on the idea of creating to fan expectation which veers away from creative to performative. From art to artificial. I don't reckon Quentin is going to just dance for y'all - maybe if you crowd fund the project...?
I'm honestly glad we didn't get this movie. Vic was killed at the end of Resivoir Dogs and Vincent was killed at the end of Pulp Fiction. Even if the story was told nonlinear there is just no forgetting those facts to me.
I fail to see the problem. Black Widow saw a movie release way after she officially kicked the bucket in the MCU and her death still resonates with many characters. That's the magic of prequels! 😀
@@RogerioPereiradaSilva77 Respectfully, that's the problem. You don't see the problem. Yeah I guess technically you're right they could take that route but I doubt Tarantino would be willing to do so. It would have been nice to get that film but regrettably it's not happening in this timeline(hopefully) but if it were going to it would have already.
I wish when Tarratino retires he makes this and other ideas into graphic novels.
I'm legit concerned that this channel might flame it pretty quickly. Their output rate is incredible.
nice to hear an O&A reference.
🤯 I’m embarrassed I never realized they were brothers 😆👍
I’d love a collection of graphic novels for all of his characters.
I'm guessing they didn't share a universe with the Kill Bill universe.
Madson played a different character.
Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction both have Tim Roth playing different characters. Harvey Keitel and Steve Buscemi are also in both movies. Keitel's character could be the same guy, but if Vincent and Vic are brothers, Buscemi should have recognized Vincent in Pulp Fiction if he's playing the same character. The last two guys would make sense if Pulp Fiction takes place before Reservoir Dogs.
I recently read a list of all of the Tarantino projects that have fallen through over the decades. It had dozens of films. He even planned a Marvel film long before Iron Man made Marvel a hot property.
Tarantino's Take on Iron Man would've been Interesting
Finally someone made a video about this
0:42 Hey? There's a Look Who's Talking and Kirstie Alley connection. Bruce was her son and John the cab driver who takes her to the hospital to deliver Bruce. 🙄😢🙏🙏
I read somewhere a few years ago that the death of Chris Penn in 2006 ended any possibility of a Vega brothers movie.
Make it an animated film.
My thoughts exactly.
I'd love to read the Vega book!
Reservoir Dogs is actually an American remake of Ringo lam's City on fire. And an amazing remake at that. Anyone who hasn't seen city on fire... GO WATCH IT.
We really need a Vega bros film...
It could've been From Dusk till Dawn but with Vega bros as opposed to Gekko bros.
Long time listener, first time commenter
I've waited for this movie since 1999
I think a 13 part series in the animation style from kill Bill. Telling how each brother got into crime and best moments in their criminal careers. Then ending with a third brother out for revenge. A normal type guy able to kill Mr orange. But ultimately failing to kill butch for two reasons. 1- he become hesitant because he is not a criminal by trade, 2- he falls in love with butch's daughter.
We at least got the Gecko brothers in From Dusk til Dawn.
I just want a Tarantino movie that takes place in modern times again.
seems like that would've been a badass movie
I don't understand the surviving twins concept
All they gotta do is make it an animated film and I don't mean a CG film, I'm talking animated. stylistic, artistic
What about “Unmade WTF Happened to Stallone’s Edgar Allan Poe project
Its a movie, about two brothers. And they’ve got a special bond…
Ive been dreaming with this movie since 2007 when I read about It.
Wish he left Once upon a time in Hollywood for a book.
not even a prequel series?
Don’t forget that Robert Rodriguez’s movies are also a part of the Tarantino Universe.
Only the ones that Tarantino wrote or produced.
First I've heard of this.
Too bad he doesn't mess with CGI or they could do this like Indiana Jones
'Unmade movie' You can't even call it that unless there was any intent and attempt to make it at all....There was never a script .Knowing Quentin I dare say you could have a 10,000 hour long video with 'unmade movies' that went through his head at some point..
This could have been a tasty little film, right in there in the 6 year gap between Jackie Brown and Kill Bill
Vincent Vega is one of my favorite characters ever. I'm glad the movie was out of order bcs if it ended on him dying, it would of failed.
Could do a younger Vega brother
I've realized nobody in pulp fiction is good at anything.
Would definetly buy a book written by Tarantino.
It’s honestly between a Kill Bill 3 or Vega brothers prequel I’d love to see Tarintino take as his final movie. Christs sake I don’t want a Star Trek…
I’m sure he’s got something crazy cooked up though
He said his last film will most likely be a small movie, more like an epilogue to his career
As interesting it would be to read the book if it ever comes to reality, I hope it never does as it will inevitably be snatched up and made into either a sanitized or caricaturized movie version for release on the first "big" anniversary for either Pulp Fiction or Reservoir Dogs after Quentin tarantino's death, along with the rest of his works receiving the same treatment in remakes, spin offs and sequels/prequels.
Would Suzanne have been in the movie too?
Tarantino should write a novel.
Turns out quentin is micah richards
Virgil from True Romance
The one great film he never made. Was hoping he’d make this one since the early 2000’s but it’ll never happen unfortunately.
They could still do it just let vic go to jail and Vin get hired by marcellus boom sets up both guys for each of the other movies
How bout just 90 min of madsen dancing ?
If QT was into video games, that’s what the story could be. Travolta and Madsen could STILL reprise their roles, no matter how old they get. But far as far as I know, QT ain’t no fan.
the memoirs of a B.M.F would be a better movie.
Madsen has forgotten how to act. So even if they de-aged him it still wouldn't work now.
what I find odd about that is Tarantino wrote backstories for all the characters in Reservoir Dogs that u can read in extreme detail in the 15th anniversary DVD of Reservoir Dogs & Tarantino wrote that Blonde was a only child that was raised by both parents & lived a good life & just became a serial killer!!!! But then Tarantino says that their are two Vega brothers!!!! I honestly like the original backstories better !!!! Mr Pink grew up in the hood that's why he's so street smart
Mr Brown was a rapist hence the Madonna conversation he randomly has at the beginning of the film
Mr. White was a war veteran that's why he's so good with those twin 45's during the shoot out with police
Mr. Blonde was a spoiled only child that wet the bed , set fires & killed animals hence becoming a serial killer!!!!!
Ya know,of all things,I get the actors are past their prime.Which was one the reasons the project never went forward.But to say that because the characters died in other movies is silly shit.They’re just make believe and it wasn’t like either of the real life actors had died.Having said that if a book was to come out tomorrow I would first in line to get a copy !😂
Sounds like a job for Deepfake
TARANTINO!!! 😎👍👌✊👊🍁♈
Who else here both loves Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs?
Yoy are totally crazy if you think they couldn't make a movie with those 2. Of course they'd have to be 2 different guys because both characters were killed in each respective movie.
And they both still look good and are able
VINCENT VEGA = Jake Gyllenhaal
VIC VEGA = Miles Teller
NICE GUY EDDIE = Jonah Hill
MARSELLUS WALLACE = Jonathan Majors
JULES WINNFIELD = Anthony Mackie
*GOOOOO!* 🚦✔
Now more than ever Tarantino should embrace deepfake technology and de-Age John & Michael and make this film, it would be a perfect full circle to his (personally) perfect film run.
Omg she said the f word 😳
This was an underwhelming presentation. Was it made a year ago? Dogs' 30th anniversary has already come, and Tarantino's SECOND book is already out.
That Tarantino lost me at Jackie Brown. What the hell was that garbage? You had de Niro! How do you even screw that up? You don't! You maliciously sabotage it. Which is exactly what Tarantino did. Why the hell did the studio greenlight such garbage? After that it was like no way I ain't even going to trust Tarantino. He changes every style after every movie because he's running away from Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction. Tarantino does everything himself because he's under the impression that he'll launch someone's career not knowing that people in Hollywood avoid him altogether for fear of being typecast. And the studio doesn't even hold him accountable. Whenever a director pulls period pieces out of his butt it's because he knows that he made it big and people'll simply not question their decisions. Look his last movie, that crap did well? Even he was shocked coz he just pulled it out of his butt, no rewrites, no reshoots just a single take. The entire movie lasts really long without an intermission. It's incoherent babeling. No storyline no plot points. The whole thing written in one sitting. So now little mister wants to be a novelist so he'll be left alone by people. Hey wait a minute if you don't like people then why the hell would you dedicate yourself to movies? Oh to be left alone. Whatever O wish him the best but you won't find me watching his movies.
You mean his BEST movie? Go to hell.
@@Geronimo_Jehoshaphat you're fooling yourself into liking it
Female voice. Red thumb.
I got this one... the actors are too old now to pull it off. But it's probably on the shelf for the 10th film idea. Id rather see it recast and a 10 part series created instead.
Mr Orange died in RD. There is no reason to think Vega would have shot up his crime buddies in RD.
The 2 brothers from dusk till dawn
Actually, the real cool thing is Michael Madsen has a real brother now and now Quinturn Tino I believe is talking to his half brother Ryan Madsen from Chicago and Michael and Ryan just met each other 12 years ago and he’s also a very good actor from before when he was in high school, I never pursued it like his brother MichaelMadsen think it’s kind of cool to see these two brothers play in a movie can come up with
Best Christmas movie ever
Please never use this woman again
Every Tarantino movie: 2 hours of main characters talking and bullsh!tiring 15 mins of action. Talk fiction, reservoir talks, kill talk, talkie brown, hateful talk, Django talko, talk proof, and talkhouse talk Tarantino
Couldn't keep up, huh?
@@Geronimo_Jehoshaphat bored outta my fucking mind!
