'Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair' Release Date Announced? Quentin Tarantino Teases 2015 Limited Theater Run Of Volumes 1 And 2 Combined

Kill Bill Volume 1 and Volume 2 were once one 4-hour film that was split up by The Weinstein Co. into two wildly successful films. Pretty much ever since the second film was released in 2004, fans have wondered when the two would be released as they were originally intended to be showcased. During the 2014 Comic-Con panel for Dynamite Entertainment, Quentin Tarantino announced this would happen, possibly in 2015, entitled The Whole Bloody Affair.

When a fan asked him this weekend about the status of this project, Tarantino decided to clear the air.

"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," he explained. "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."

So it looks like Tarantino's complete vision for the movie will happen! The anime sequence he was talking about seems pretty cool, too, so we have a lot to look forward to.
