Lionsgate to release Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair in December
Lionsgate announced Wednesday that it will release Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair in theaters on Dec. 5. The version combines the 2003 Vol. 1 and 2004 Vol. 2 into a single film, running four hours and 18 minutes with an intermission.
The combined film was previously screened in June at Quentin Tarantino's Vista Theater in Los Angeles, with additional showings added in September. Tarantino first presented it at the Cannes Film Festival in 2006, and its U.S. debut was at the New Beverly Cinema. This version removes the Vol. 1 teaser and Vol. 2 recap, while adding alternate lines, a full-color version of a black-and-white sequence from Vol. 1, and a longer animated segment. Tarantino said in a statement, “I wrote and directed it as one movie—and I’m so glad to give the fans the chance to see it as one movie. The best way to see Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair is at a movie theater in glorious 70mm or 35mm.” Lionsgate will provide film prints for the release.
Originally, Miramax released Kill Bill in two parts, but Lionsgate now distributes many of Tarantino’s Miramax films and previously released both volumes in 4K home video. The film stars Uma Thurman as The Bride, a former assassin left for dead by her boss and lover, Bill (David Carradine). Lucy Liu, Daryl Hannah, Vivica A. Fox, and Michael Madsen play fellow assassins whom she hunts on her path to confront Bill.
