- Filmmaker Quentin Tarantino has worked with Lionsgate on the new version.
- The combined movie experience lands in December.
It has taken more than 20 years, but the two ‘Kill Bill’ movies made by writer/director Quentin Tarantino are finally landing in theaters the way the filmmaker intended –– as one big film called ‘Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair’.
While the combined version has been seen on home entertainment formats and the occasional speciality screening, this is its first wide theatrical release, via Lionsgate, which will include a seven-minute animated segment not included in the prior cinema outings of Volume 1 and Volume 2 back in 2003 and 2004.
Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair
This was what Tarantino had to say about the new opportunity:
“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. Blood and guts on a big screen in all its glory!”

What’s the story of the ‘Kill Bill’ movies?

Uma Thurman stars as The Bride, left for dead after her former boss and lover, Bill, ambushes her wedding rehearsal, shooting her in the head and stealing her unborn child.
To exact her vengeance, she must first hunt down the four remaining members of the Deadly Viper Assassination Squad before confronting Bill himself. With its operatic scope, relentless action, and iconic style, ‘The Whole Bloody Affair’ stands as one of cinema’s definitive revenge sagas — rarely shown in its complete form and now presented with a classic intermission.

While the filmmaker is still making decisions about his cinematic future –– he scrapped one planned movie, ‘The Movie Critic’ and is considering other options including stage work and novels –– his cinematic universe rolls on.
David Fincher has been busy directing ‘The Adventures of Cliff Booth’, which follows Brad Pitt’s character from ‘Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood’ on a new story. It boasts a script from Tarantino and marks the first time someone else has brought his characters to screens.
When will ‘Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair’ burst onto screens?
The combined ‘Kill Bill’ will be in theaters from December 5th.
