We're Finally Able to Watch the Coveted Kill Bill Single Cut
Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair Hits Theaters this December
Are you a Kill Bill fan? Are the two existing Kill Bill installments not enough to satisfy you? Well, worry not, because Kill Bill is back, and it’s better than ever.
It’s coming to theaters… in one cut! Yes, that’s right! We’re getting a recut of Kill Bill that reworks both films into one continuous, four-hour epic quest. Apparently, this is how Tarantino envisioned the project from the start.
It released at Cannes in 2006, aptly retitled Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair. It runs 258 minutes.
You’ve only seen it if you were there, then, or if you’ve attended one of the rare screenings of Tarantino’s personal print.
But now we can all see it! Liongate is releasing it on December 15th in both 35mm and 70mm prints.
There’s a new trailer, too!
