3rd October 2003: The Vega Brothers Update:
I must admit I thought this project was deader than Michael
Madsen's career before Taranatino gave him a role in Kill
Bill, but this week Madsen has been talking up the project
again "I think for a while it wasn’t going to
happen, but I think that he came up with a good concept
of an idea for actually making it work. Now I’m pretty
sure that it’s going to happen."

22nd July 2003: Vega Brothers Update:
Guess we aint gonna see that Vega Brothers movie after
all QT has revealed "“I don't think that I can
really do it as a movie anymore. I think Michael Madsen
and John Travolta just got a little too old to do a prequel
to a movie they did ten years ago".
Wednesday 20th May 2003: The Vega Brothers Update:
A scooper at Dark Horizons
has revealed the The Vega Brothers may still be a goer of
a project "I auditioned for a role and got chatting
with the lovely casting director who indicated the "vega
brothers" movie is going ahead. She says it will be
huge because its a huge ensemble, and says it's going to
have Travolta in it, Madsen, Samuel L. Jackson and all the
Tarantino regulars - but a lot of roles available for young
women, because it's set in bars and nightclubs, hence, strippers,
barmaids, waitress roles will be available. Tarantino wants
to do it later this year. I would so love to be a part of
this but she said nearly every male role is a 'name'".

Vega Brothers Update:
Michael Madsen talked today about the much rumoured and
talked about Vega Brothers movie "Quentin
and I have talked about doing a film about the Vega brothers.
He has the idea in his head, where Travolta and I would
play club owners in Amsterdam. I do see the film being made.
He just has to finish work on Kill Bill and the World War
II movie he's working on, so it won't be for another 2 or
3 years, but I do see it happening then."

Quentin Tarantino did an interview
with French channel Canal + (he's over in Cannes this week)
where he confirmed that plans for The Vega Brothers movie
have been cancelled. Oh well.
Update 8/4/01: Page added today. Archive pages over
at Coming
Attractions report that The Vega Brothers has always
been on the cards, right back to 1996 when the idea was
put to both Madsen and Travolta (who both loved it). The
film came up recently in New York Magazine that both stars
have signed on the dotted line to reprise their roles and
that Tarantino will start work on the film after Kill Bill
and WWII flick Glorious Bastards.
