E! Online: 80s Hair Metal Singer Kip Winger to star in Tarantino's upcoming "Pulp Fiction" Prequel

[Amerigo Vespucci]

Filmmaker Quentin Tarantino has revealed that 80s "Hair Metal" singer Kip Winger from the band Winger will be featured in a starring role in the upcoming, as-yet-unnamed "prequel" to his smash hit film "Pulp Fiction." Winger will reprise the role made famous in the original film by John Travolta, "Vinnie Vega."

When asked about the role, Winger enthusiastically replied "I 'm looking forward to reconnecting with my fans in a big way. Even though I'm in the movie, I'm a fan of Quentin just like everyone else. I'm not at liberty to discuss the script but I can tell you that people who enjoyed the first film don't know the whole story...but they will."

Filming is scheduled to begin in late August.

1. Calling him a singer is really stretching it.

But then calling Winger a band is just laughable.

2. I even liked some hair metal 80s bands. But Winger was excruciatingly bad.

When the only song you're ever remembered for is a song about statutory rape, you've got a problem.

3. Wow, a Pulp Fiction prequel. I hope it's even just a fraction as good as the original.

4. Dakota Fanning to be cast as Mia Wallace (Uma Thurman)???

Jaleel White (Urkel) to play Sam Jackson's character????
