Quentin Tarantino’s beloved movies, Kill Bill Vol. 1 and Kill Bill Vol. 2, are making a grand comeback as one epic 4-hour film, just as the director originally intended. This ultimate version is set to hit theaters across the nation in December, with special 70mm and 35mm screenings at select locations. Lionsgate and Tarantino made the big announcement on October 1, revealing their plans to merge both volumes of Kill Bill into one massive cinematic experience. Although Tarantino has previously showcased an edited version of both volumes combined, this will be the first time that audiences everywhere can enjoy the full, action-packed saga of Uma Thurman’s quest for vengeance.
“I made it as one movie, and I’m thrilled to finally share it with fans as one movie,” Tarantino expressed. “The best way to watch Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair is on the big screen in glorious 70mm or 35mm. Blood and gore in all its splendor!” The release of The Whole Bloody Affair comes more than two decades after the debut of Kill Bill Vol. 1 in 2003. The first installment introduced viewers to Thurman’s character, The Bride, who seeks retribution after surviving an assassination attempt on her wedding day. Originally, Vol. 1 concluded with a cliffhanger that was resolved in Vol. 2 the following year. The new version seamlessly combines both films, omitting the recap and cliffhanger to provide a more cohesive viewing experience. Additionally, audiences can look forward to a new seven-minute animated sequence in this extended cut. Tarantino’s Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair will premiere on December 5, boasting a runtime of approximately 4 hours and 18 minutes.
As fans eagerly anticipate the re-release of Kill Bill in its full glory, Tarantino’s vision for the film will finally be realized on the big screen. The merger of Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 promises to deliver a cinematic experience like no other, showcasing the director’s signature style and storytelling prowess. With the removal of the original cliffhanger and recap, viewers can immerse themselves in The Bride’s journey without interruption, diving headfirst into a world of revenge, martial arts, and unforgettable characters. The addition of a new animated sequence further enhances the narrative, adding a fresh perspective to the already gripping tale. Whether you’re a die-hard Tarantino fan or a newcomer to the Kill Bill universe, The Whole Bloody Affair is sure to leave a lasting impression on audiences everywhere. So mark your calendars for December 5 and prepare to witness the epic saga of Kill Bill unfold in all its bloody glory.
