Vivica Fox Is Ready For Another “Kill Bill” Film After SZA Visual

by

There have been mentions of yet another installment in the Kill Bill franchise, and Vivica Fox is here for it. The veteran actress was featured in the first in the series, albeit briefly, as her character was gunned down by The Bride (played by Uma Thurman). Recently, SZA released the music video to her single “Kill Bill,” and the visual was not only inspired by the movie but hosted a feature from Fox.

“Quentin, let’s go!” she told Variety when questioned about a new Kill Bill film. “Absolutely! They say it’s gonna be my daughter growing up, so I know he’s gonna figure out some kinda way. I’m gonna be like, in a flashback or somewhere.”

She also joked about telling her fictional daughter not to try the cereal box move her character executed. “It ain’t gon’ work! It didn’t work for your mama, so don’t you try that.”

“I’d love to work with Quentin, I’d love to work with Uma again,” Fox also said. “It was a lot of training, but awesome.”

The actress further shared that she hasn’t discussed the possibilities with Tarantino just yet. When asked who she would pick to play her daughter in the phantom future Kill Bill film, Fox named Zendaya.

“She’s killing the game, but dream cast would be Zendaya.”

SZA Shuts Down ‘Kill Bill’ Fan Theories About When Her ‘SOS’ Deluxe Album Will Drop

Yesterday, SZA dropped the entertaining video for her hit song, “Kill Bill.” Drawing visual inspiration from the Tarantino movie of the same title, SZA enlisted one of the original actresses, Vivica A. Fox, to help her carry out a revenge plot.

Still, fans watching SZA’s music video were clearly on the hunt for any and all possible Easter eggs. Given that she’s dropped clues in her past videos, from teasing snippets of songs at the end of “Shirt,” to using a license plate to announce when her sophomore album, SOS, would drop — it’s not far-fetched that there could be some secrets embedded in “Kill Bill.”

Fans spotted that the motorcycle license plate used in the “Kill Bill” video read August, sparking speculation that the deluxe version of SOS would be dropping this summer. (It also had “SOS” in bright red letters.)

However, SZA logged on to social media to shut those theories down, tweeting, “The deluxe is not coming out in august lol it’s just a license plate.”

Despite her statement, fans in the quotes joked back about the fact that the deluxe version might be dropping earlier and the fact that they couldn’t trust her. “She knew to have these comments off,” one person wrote.

“Then wtf is coming on aug 2023,” another added.

SZA’s New Video For ‘Kill Bill’ Is As Bloody As You’d Expect

by

SZA‘s new album S.O.S., the long-awaited follow-up to the critically-acclaimed Ctrl, has been No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart for four weeks now. The track with the most success has been the mischievous, relentlessly catchy “Kill Bill,” which topped the charts as well. She teased a video for it at the end of December, and now it’s finally out.

Considering the cinematic, violent nature of the song (“I might kill my ex, I still love him though / Rather be in jail than alone,” she sings on the chorus), the video had to be intense. And it is. It kicks off with a round of many gunshots, not shot by SZA, though. However, she makes it out alive, and later procures a sword for a tumultuous sword fight. Inspired by Quentin Tarantino’s Kill Bill, the video has a cameo from Vivica A. Fox, who was in the iconic film.

In an interview with Entertainment Weekly last month, she said, “I love Vivica A. Fox’s character. I love Lucy Liu’s character. I even love Bill because he’s super complex. I feel like he doesn’t understand why he did what he did. He’s void of emotion, but he loved The Bride so much that he couldn’t stand her to be with anyone else.”

SZA Drops “Kill Bill” Music Video

Since her second studio album SOS dropped last month, fans have made SZA’s “Kill Bill” a standout song on the 23-track project. On Tuesday night, the Grammy-winning singer gifted her fans with visuals for the song, which offers a nod to Quentin Tarantino’s Kill Bill series.

Featuring Vivica A. Fox, who plays Vernita Green in the 2004 film, the music video shows SZA out for blood and vengeance. After an assassination squad shoots up her trailer, she dons a sword and rides out in the night on a motorcycle to take karma into her own hands.

Finding the man who ordered the hit, SZA then faces him before ripping his heart out. The visual’s final scene shows the singer-songwriter naked and tied up as she continues to sing the track’s melodic lines.

Fans quickly turned “Kill Bill” into a hit, faithfully streaming the song and also making it go viral on social media. With the not-so-subtle lyrics about killing her ex-boyfriend, SZA sings, “I might kill my ex, not the best idea / His new girlfriend’s next, how’d I get here? / I might kill my ex, I still love him though / Rather be in jail than alone.”

“The Weekend” singer continues in another part of the song, “I’m so mature, I got me a therapist to tell me there’s other men / I don’t want none, I just want you / If I can’t have you, no one will.”

Proving to be a solid followup to her 2017 album Ctrl, SOS is already a clear hit. Featuring Travis Scott, Don Toliver, ‘Ol Dirty Bastard, and Phoebe Bridgers, the project quickly snagged the number one spot on Billboard’s 200 chart and remains after four weeks.

SZA also announced her accompanying tour after breaking the internet with SOS. Stopping throughout North America, the St. Louis Native is bringing her fresh hits to Toronto, New York City, Inglewood, Chicago, and more.

SZA is revving up to release a new video for a fan-favorite off of her sophomore album, S.O.S. The TDE songstress debuted the trailer for the single, “Kill Bill” earlier today through TheShadeRoom, who obtained an exclusive clip. Given the song’s title, it appears that SZA is staying true to Quentin Tarantino’s concept, especially since she landed one of the stars of Kill Bill to appear in the video. Vivica A. Fox, who starred in Kill Bill Vol. 1, will make a cameo in the music video.

“THANK YALL !! It’s a song based on the movie… hence the video Lmaooo try not to think too hard . KEEP STREAMING KILL BILL,” SZA commented under The Shade Room’s post.

So far, SZA hasn’t shared a release date for the music video but it appears to be coming soon. And it couldn’t arrive at a better time. The song, along with “Nobody Gets Me” was chosen as the album’s lead singles and will be pushed to radio.

The trailer for “Kill Bill” also comes on the heels of a historic milestone in SZA’s career. The singer’s held the #1 spot on the Billboard 200 for four weeks straight. This week, her album sold 125K units, preventing Taylor Swift’s Midnights from reclaiming the top spot on the chart.

While SZA will likely spend the foreseeable future promoting S.O.S., fans could look forward to catching her live this winter. The singer will hit the road for the S.O.S tour, beginning in February. Check the tour dates here and check the trailer for “Kill Bill” below.

After the popularity of SZA’s “Kill Bill,” from her recent sophomore album, SOS, it seems she is returning the favor to fans for the song’s immense success.

Today, she posted the first teaser of the music video. As expected, it pays tribute to the Tarantino movie of the same title. From donning the iconic Uma Thurman jumpsuit (in red instead of yellow) to recreating some of the character’s fight moves, SZA clearly plans to go all out for this one.

“It’s what y’all deserve,” she captioned the trailer.

“Kill Bill” made it onto the Billboard Hot 100 and has been there since. Lyrically, SZA details that she “might kill her ex,” in a chaotic tale of revenge — on par with her Scorpio energy.

About a week ago, she revealed to Entertainment Weekly that the “Kill Bill” music video was happening, but kept it pretty hush hush about the specific details. However, SZA did spill about her love for the original movie that inspired it.

“I love Vivica A. Fox’s character,” she said. I love Lucy Liu’s character. I even love Bill because he’s super complex. I feel like he doesn’t understand why he did what he did. He’s void of emotion, but he loved The Bride so much that he couldn’t stand her to be with anyone else.”

“That was really complex and cool to me,” she added. “It’s a love story. I just watched it again for inspiration for the music video that we’re gonna shoot for ‘Kill Bill.’”

As expected, fans were overjoyed. Continue scrolling for some fun reactions about the upcoming video.

SZA has been in Hawaii to celebrate the overwhelming success of SOS, which finally arrived on December 9 and debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart. Her sophomore album is currently spending its second consecutive week atop the chart, prompting SZA to reflect.

First, SZA posted an Instagram carousel featuring a series of selfies, a Wolf Of Wall Street screengrab, Billboard‘s article announcing SOS‘s second consecutive week, plus aggregate sites relaying that the album is “the first album by a Black female artist to spend its first two weeks at #1 on the Billboard 200 since Beyoncé” and that SZA joined Taylor Swift as the sole female artists to ever chart at least 20 songs on the Billboard Hot 100 simultaneously.

“Lol instagram randomly deleted my post last week .. but APPARENTLY ITS STILL TRUE THIS WEEK,” SZA captioned the post. “number 1 two weeks in a row .. God is incredible. I won’t repeat it all ,but thank you everybody for supporting me and speaking power n love into me. It’s 9:43 in Hawaii . I couldn’t ask for anything more . Life is beautiful and what it should be.”

Then, last night (December 28), SZA doubled down on her gratitude on Twitter.

“I just wanna say the way y’all been riding for me and genuinely wanna see me win / get my first number one means SO much …community is everything and I couldn’t do any of this w out YALL,” she tweeted alongside heart, salute and “SOS emojis with the #KillBill hashtag. “THANK YOU I LOVE AND APPRECIATE YOU.”

The SOS track “Kill Bill” debuted at No. 3 on the Hot 100 and sits at No. 7 this week. The song also became SZA’s first-ever No. 1 on the Billboard Streaming Songs chart.

SZA fans will be properly rewarded during next year’s SOS arena tour, beginning in February. Omar Apollo will serve as the opener. See the dates here.

SZA Said She Would Love To Do More Acting Projects In Addition To Her Upcoming Eddie Huang Action Movie

SZA has been giving fans lots of cinematic visuals lately. Fans got a kick out of her “Big Boy” skit on Saturday Night Live, and her Lakeith Stanfield-assisted visual for “Shirt” has also received much praise.

In a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, she expressed the desire to participate in other cinematic projects and even teased some of the visuals she has on the way.

“I would love to act more,” she said. “I’d love to learn another craft and get to lose myself in another way creatively. I’m in an Eddie Huang movie that is coming out, with Chloe Cherry from Euphoria and a couple of other people. I don’t know if the whole cast is announced, so I’ma keep quiet. It’s an action comedy: An assassin is trying to kill me, but we fall in love instead. It should be pretty silly.”

Film seems to be a recurring motif across SZA’s latest album, SOS. On a particular track called “Kill Bill,” in which she fantasizes about killing her ex, she takes inspiration from the Quentin Tarantino film of the same name. Elsewhere in the interview, she revealed that the song’s upcoming music video will be loosely inspired by the movie, Kill Bill.

“But that’s all I can say,” SZA said.
