At this point it looks unlikely. Keep in mind you’ll here people say well it’s not on the Drafthouse calendar of events (Drafthouse being the theater that always hosts it)… but most QT fests come together almost last minute it seems… so its not gonna pop up on the calendar until very close to when it might happen. Your not going to see it listed months in advance.
The best info I heard was overhead info at his past fest… here is a basic rundown of what happened…:
A really cute super hot short half French/Japanese chick sent by her boyfriend went up and asked QT at the past fest “So… when are you doing another fest”… and QT was like… "well I gotta shoot Kill Bill… but who knows I might need a break and come back down here and have like a mini-QT fest (Blake’s note: which I guess would put it if at all remotely possible in September to December 2002 timeframe)… or it might just be in early 2003 after I’ve gotten the movie edited and all the press stuff outta the way… I’ve bought several prints I can’t wait to show off at my next fest… so it will happen… just dunno when it will be as I also have a WWII movie that I want to make right after Kill Bill… so I may come down inbetween movies"
So that is the best and most detailed I heard QT say… keep in mind that QT speaks lightning witty fast… so said conversation was like 5 seconds… I personally thanked the guy for sending his girlfriend over to ask QT the question… since it was the most detailed response I had heard…
I dunno how many of you have spoken with QT before… but no lie… you can have like 5-10 conversations with him in the span it would normally take to have just one with most people. QT is one of the most personable and easy to talk to celebrities of anykind that I’ve ever met and talked to. So when QT6 comes around… it will be any of you QT fans chance to meet the man and movie geek out about anything one on one… let alone see some damn cool movies you might have never heard of before.
As a side note I’m trying to get as big a group down for QT6 as possible… basically to maximize the expense for all out of towners… and so in the daytime non-fest hours to be having our own movie fest going on. So far I think I’ve got about a group 10-20 people strong (and growing).
