Tarantino Should still make a Vega Bros. Movie

I am a huge fan of Quentin Tarantino.  And while I'm only casual fan of Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction is probably one of my favorite movies of all time.  I think it'd be a dynamite idea to do a Pulp Fiction/Reservoir Dogs spin off/prequel following the Vega Brothers.   I would probably pass out if I heard he was doing a movie where Vincent Vega and Vic Vega had an adventure (or misadventure).  For those that don't know, Michael Madsen's Vic Vega from Reservoir Dogs and John Travolta's Vincent Vega from Pulp Fiction are brothers.  Quentin Tarantino had teased for a long time that this film or a film like it could definitely be a possibility.  Tarantino started saying that it could be a prequel on the Opie and Anthony show:

“I even had a title for it. It was called 'Double V Vega'. It actually would have taken place during the time Vincent was in Amsterdam, when he was running one of Marcellus’ clubs in Amsterdam. And Vic goes to visit him."



That would be sick!  They could get into all sorts of frickin' trouble in Amsterdam, the land of drugs and excess.  I realize that it is twenty years later, and both actors do no look like how they did.  But they can do so much now with digital skin grafting CGI technology now.  Or, you can have Travolta and Madsen lend their voice talents and do an extremely gritty animated feature (a la the animated sections of Kill Bil Vol. 1).

I guess I'm just pining for anything Tarantino.  But I have often thought if this "Tarantino-verse" as I'm dubbing it has other stories to tell.  We all know that Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction take place in the same world.  It'd be great to get some expansion on that and go into more detail.  We know the obvious links like the Vega Brothers and the Red Apple Cigarettes.



 
Or maybe Quentin Tarantino could make a movie following what happens with Jules after the events of Pulp Fiction, where he stated he was retiring and that he would "walk the earth". 

What do you mean 'Walk the earth?'

"You know, walk the earth, meet people... get into adventures. Like Caine from "Kung Fu."
That way, you could incorporate Jules age jump.  Like he's been traveling the world for 15 years and is somewhat of a vigilante/problem solver. 

Shit, I'd watch it.  Or maybe I should just wait for Django Unchained.
