Michael Madsen and John Travolta with Quentiin Tarantino

We have information on the real truth behind Quentin Tarantino’s project of criminal brothers with ‘Reservoir Dogs' Vic Vega played by Michael Madsen and ‘Pulp Fiction's Vincent Vega essayed by John Travolta.

It has now been revealed that there was more to the news of them reuniting for a project.

The news started circulating when Michael Madsen started making rounds on the internet as he posted a video on social media encouraging people to stay indoors during the coronavirus pandemic by recreating with his family the famous ear-cutting scene from ‘Reservoir Dogs’.

Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, the actor said, "I was bored out of my mind, basically. It was my wife who said it would be funny to do a kooky type of Reservoir Dogs. It was very funny, I am surprised we pulled it off."

In 1994's ‘Pulp Fiction’, John Travolta played Vincent Vega, a role that helped boost life into his career. The criminal brothers were shot to death in their respective films.

Tarantino discussed the brothers project, which was to be a prequel, a number of times with the duo, Madsen said.

"We were supposed to be in Amsterdam, criminally," says Madsen of Tarantino's thoughts. "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,” said Madsen.

It could never materialise, however, as too much time passed and Quentin Tarantino got busy with other films.

John Travolta and Michael Madsen came back together last year on the race car film ‘Trading Paint’ where they had some fun with the idea of being brothers, said the actor.
