Michael Madsen Reveals Plot Details of Tarantino’s Nixed Vega Brothers Prequel

New DVD release, , , , , ,
The ultraviolently acerbic shared universe of Quentin Tarantino’s films has long been a source of theories and examinations, and one long-acknowledged connection has been between the apparent siblings of Michael Madsen’s Vic Vega (a.k.a. Mr. Blonde) from 1992’s Reservoir Dogs and John Travolta’s Vincent Vega from 1994’s Pulp Fiction. Indeed, Tarantino had plans to connect them onscreen, but it never happened. Now, Madsen reveals new details about the prequel that never was. An intriguing—some might say bittersweet—anecdote about the unmade project came from Michael Madsen himself in an interview with THR, conducted on the occasion of a revival of sorts…
