As Academy Award winner Quentin Tarantino begins to look at his 10th and final film, Reservoir Dogs’ star Michael Madsen is looking at the QT film that never was.
During an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Michael Madsen, who played Vic Vega, aka Mr. Blonde, in the 1992 classic spoke about the Vega brothers project that had been rumored and talked about for years was further along than most realize.
Despite both brothers being shot dead in their respective films, Tarantino discussed the project about the brothers as a prequel. Madsen said, “We were supposed to be in Amsterdam, criminally, the picture was going to start out with the two of us being released from prison in different states. And we open up a club in Amsterdam. In Pulp Fiction, Vincent Vega says he just returned to Los Angeles from Amsterdam. He had come up with this idea that it would be the twin brothers of Vic and Vincent, who met after the deaths of their siblings. It was very complicated, but when Quentin starts discussing an idea, it’s very easy to go along with it.”
Ultimately, the film did not happen; however, Madsen did work with Tarantino again in The Hateful Eight.
