[edit] Details

According to director Quentin Tarantino in an interview with Rolling Stone ^[1], The Vega Brothers is intended as both a sequel and prequel to the films Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction, "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 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 won't make the film because "everyone is older now". However, he did announce that the prequel would have been called "Double V Vega" and the story would've been about Vincent Vega's time in Amsterdam, running one of Marsellus Wallace's clubs, and Vic visiting him. Tarantino did say he had an another idea about how to work around the actor's being a little older and the characters being dead, the idea being that Vic and Vincent both had twin brothers. That there are a total of four Vega brothers, Vic and Vaughn, Vincent and Virgil.
