Quentin Tarantino hints at Kill Bill 3

Uma Thurman starred in the Quentin Tarantino movie, Kill Bill.

Director Quentin Tarantino says there is "definitely a possibility" that he will create Kill Bill 3.

Kill Bill: Volume 1, starring Uma Thurman as assassin Beatrix Kiddo, was released in 2003 to critical acclaim.

"Stop short of saying probability, but there could be ... I think Kill Bill is pretty much hands down probably my most visionary movie," Trantino told What The Flick?!

"Now since then my work has taken a turn towards literary and it's gotten denser and denser ... so it would be nice to go back to a visceral world that's not about the words any more."

Tarantino, currently promoting his new film The Hateful Eight, also said the sequel would take place a number of years after the previous film, which was released in 2004.

"I put that character - not Uma, I put Uma through a lot too - but I put that character of Beatrix Kiddo through a lot. And so I wanted her to have this much time for peace," he said.

"I wanted her to have some time with her daughter ... she could actually enjoy her life for a while. The whole idea was that everyone would be as old as they are."

The Hateful Eight is released in New Zealand on January 21.
