posted on by Anita Tai
Lionsgate will bring the extended director's cut of Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill film series, titled Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair, to U.S. theaters for its first wide release beginning on December 5. Screenings will be available from both 70mm and 35mm film prints.
Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair is the full, 247-minute combined cut of 2003's Kill Bill: Vol 1 and 2004's Kill Bill: Vol. 2. Production I.G added seven more minutes of animation which Tarantino incorporated into this extended version.
The director's cut premiered at the Cannes Film Festival out of competition in 2006. The New Beverly Cinema in Los Angeles screened Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair for four sold-out days in March 2011.
Katsuhito Ishii and Shōu Tajima designed the characters that Production I.G (Ghost in the Shell, Miss Hokusai) animated for the existing "Kill Bill Chapter 3: The Origin of O-Ren" sequence that appeared in the first Kill Bill volume from 2003.
