Looking for something exciting to brighten up your holiday season? Get ready for Quentin Tarantino’s Kill Bill duology, which is hitting theaters again as a combined feature—The Whole Bloody Affair.
Starting December 5, you can experience this “single, unrated epic” in stunning 35 or 70mm film. The screening will also unveil an exciting, never-before-seen anime sequence from renowned Production I.G, known for Ghost in the Shell. As this is two films melted into one, brace yourself for over four hours of cinematic thrill. But don’t fret; Lionsgate has planned a 15-minute intermission to give you a breather. Prepare yourself for the carnage, as the trailer promises a generous amount of bloodshed.
The original Kill Bill films debuted in 2003 and 2004, starring Uma Thurman as Beatrix Kiddo, a former assassin seeking revenge on her fellow Deadly Viper assassins who betrayed her on her wedding night. The films drew inspiration from 1970s kung fu movies and boasted an incredible cast, including Vivica A. Fox, Lucy Liu, and the late David Carradine. Both films received positive reviews, with Thurman earning Golden Globe nominations for each. They were also box office hits, grossing $180.9 million (about €167 million) and $150.3 million (around €130 million) respectively. The first installment had the highest-grossing opening weekend of Tarantino’s career.
While Tarantino has screened The Whole Bloody Affair a few times before, this will be its first nationwide release. He has expressed interest in creating a third installment, potentially featuring Uma Thurman’s real-life daughter, Maya Hawke, as the adult version of Beatrix’s daughter, B.B., who finds herself on the run from assassins. However, with Tarantino announcing his intention to retire after his tenth film, the future of this project—and the home release of Affair—remains uncertain.
