Quentin Tarantino is a man with simple pleasures. And it doesn’t take long for his mind to hit that spark of creativity in most unlikely of places. Like a massively popular video game.

Debuting this weekend on Nov 30 on Fortnite is the first look of a full length (7 and a half minutes) short titled The Lost Chapter: Yuki’s Revenge, a scene previously included in early drafts of the first Kill Bill script but left out due to budget and time issues.

How did this meeting of the minds come about? Well, it turns out that Epic Games, creators of Fortnite, approached him about producing content for the game to promote its Chapter Seven. The director took this as a great opportunity to bring the idea back to life. And surprisingly, it turns out that Tarantino had such a great experience working with motion capture that he’s now seriously considering using it to revisit other as-yet unrealized projects that have long been simmering in his mind.

During a special screening of the short Vista Theater in Los Angeles last week, the director teased ideas for a prequel focusing on a young Bill, plus possibly doing an anime revolving around the Vega Brothers from Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs.

“I’ve got other things to do right now, but I had a whole Kill Bill idea in my mind when we were doing it, and then I was so wiped out from doing the movie,” the director told the audience. “I like the idea of a Bill origin. A story of Bill, about how Bill became Bill and the three godfathers that made Bill: Esteban Vihaio, Pai Mei, and Hattori Hanzō. Will I live long enough to do that? That remains to be seen.”

“I could see some world between this and Japanese anime that I could find some happy medium or, you know, between the things that I couldn’t physically do, like say the Vega Brothers movie, or something like that.”

Like the John Wick prequel news that was revealed earlier this year, there’s many story ideas you can potentially make out of a character with a vague past. Plus, It’s not the first time the film series has been animated. The original film features an 8 min anime scene done by Production IG. Tarantino certainly is one of us.

If you don’t play Fortnite, the short will be included where it was meant to be in the upcoming epic Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair, in theaters December 5th.
