Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill 3: The Whole Bloody Affair is set for release next year, which will allegedly see the return of Uma Thurman who has made us fall in love with her role as The Bride. Months ago, Tarantino gave a glimpse of the much-awaited sequel at the Comic-Con as he pronounced:
"What's going on with that is originally back when Kill Bill was going to be one movie, I wrote an even longer anime sequence. So you see in the movie [O-Ren] kill her boss but then there was that long hair guy... The big sequence was her fighting that guy. I.G. [The Japanese Anime Studio] who did Ghost in the Shell said we can't do that and finish it in time for your thing. And [plus] you can't have a thirty-minute piece in your movie. I said okay. It was my favorite part but it was the part you could drop. So we dropped it and then later when I.G. heard we were talking about doing Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair - they still had the script so without even being commissioned, they just did it and paid for it themselves. It's really terrific. Anyway, The Weinstein Company and myself were talking about actually coming out with it sometime, not before the year is out, but within the next year with limited theatrical engagement as well."(via Indiewire)
The catch here is, Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair is expected to have a limited release in theaters and fans across the globe might have to wait a little longer for the official screening date. It is worth mentioning however, that such 'limited release' of Tarantino's film is no longer new to us.
In fact, Slash Film reported about the 2011 release of Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair in one theater. On the brighter side of things, this might just give us some reassurance that maybe Tarantino is already done with the sequel of the series we last saw in 2004. Maybe this was the primary reason why he confidently spoke of the 2015 release date of another great masterpiece in the making, The Hateful Eight.
According to Germain of Slash Film, "Then, in 2004, Tarantino showed a combined version of the film at the Cannes Film Festival that became known as Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair. We thought that meant general audiences would finally get to see it in some way but alas, that was not the case."
Quoting his take on the 215-minute film, he shares:
"Right off the bat, there's a major change as the Klingon proverb has been replaced by a dedication to filmmaker Kinji Fukasaku. By removing the quote, it immediately makes it obvious that, because this is one huge film instead of two very different ones, Kill Bill isn't solely about revenge for the sake of revenge anymore."
