finlayr:
Okay.  Somebody explain this one to me:

A while ago Kill Bill: The Novel was ready to pre-order from Amazon.com.  There was even a COVER for it that was cool!!  So that means, hey, HE MUST HAVE WROTE THE NOVEL.

So then..where is it...and why isn't Tarantino talking about it?

Why hasn't anybody mentioned it?

What, all of a sudden, the novel has just vanished???

IHeartPTA:

MacGuffin:
According to Hyperion books, the Novel of Kill Bill has been cancelled. Instead, they will release the screenplay based on the film (which may include several stories or scenes not in the final movie).

finlayr:
yeah okay, it was cancelled for whatever reason.  but that means it still exists since it was ready to pre-order and there was even a cover.  so a novel...a qt novel...tarantino prose exists somewhere....

But where???

From Publishers Weekly
This journal captures the two years Carradine spent making the two-part feature film Kill Bill with director Quentin Tarantino. As he describes the pre-production, production and promoting of the film, Carradine, who is best known for TV's Kung Fu, gives readers a glimpse into the up-and-down life of a B-list actor. Excited about landing the role of Bill, once ticketed for Warren Beatty, Carradine is simultaneously nervous about canceling the autograph conventions on which he pretty much supports himself. Along with subtly pointing out that he has worked with Martin Scorsese and won a Golden Globe, Carradine also knows that a Tarantino movie is his best shot at stardom, and it's that eternal hope, not his résumé, that pervades the book and makes him a narrator for whom readers will feel genuine affection. Along with laying bare his personal deliberations, Carradine also provides an informative exploration of the world of filmmaking, from what it takes to shoot in China to how many (soon to be bloodied) shirts you need for a fight scene. It's apparent that one of Carradine's longest-running love affairs, however tempestuous it might be, is with Hollywood. And for those who share that feeling, this book will remind them why, for better or for worse, they feel that way.
