A trailer has been released, announcing the return of Quentin Tarantino’s revenge action thriller Kill Bill to theaters, this time as a four-hour epic: Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair.
Starring Uma Thurman, the story follows ex-assassin Beatrix Kiddo, aka The Bride, as she goes on a warpath of revenge against her former team members, The Deadly Viper Assassination Squad, and their boss, the titular Bill, after they left her for dead and took her unborn child at her wedding rehearsal.
First released in 2003 and 2004, the director originally intended the project to be released as one film, but was persuaded to split it into two parts due to its lengthy runtime. Tarantino would eventually get the chance to show the complete movie at Cannes in 2006, before screening it at his Los Angeles theater, the New Beverly Cinema, in 2011, and later in 2024 at another L.A. theater, The Vista.
Now, Lionsgate plans to release The Whole Bloody Affair nationwide for the first time. The film will have a run time of 281 minutes, with 15-minute intermission, and will be available in special screenings in both 35mm and 70mm formats. A new seven-minute anime sequence will also be included.
Also starring David Carradine, Lucy Liu, Daryl Hannah, Michael Madsen, and Vivica A. Fox, Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair arrives in theaters on December 5th.
