       'Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair' Sets First Ever Theatrical   
       Release for December, With 70mm and 35mm Presentations   
       ---------------------------------------------------------------   
       Here comes The Bride. Quentin Tarantino's "Kill Bill: The Whole   
       Bloody Affair," which combines both "Kill Bill Vol. 1" and "Kill   
       Bill Vol. 2," will receive its first ever nationwide theatrical   
       release on Dec. 5 from Lionsgate. The rollout will include   
       presentations in 70mm and 35mm, with plans to play in all major   
       markets.   
      
       "I wrote and directed it as one movie - and I'm so glad to give   
       the fans the chance to see it as one movie," Tarantino wrote in   
       a statement on the release. "The best way to see 'Kill Bill: The   
       Whole Bloody Affair' is at a movie theater in glorious 70mm or   
       35mm. Blood and guts on a big screen in all its glory!"   
      
       "The Whole Bloody Affair" removes the cliffhanger ending from   
       "Kill Bill Vol. 1" and the recap opener of "Kill Bill Vol. 2,"   
       bringing the pair together as a single cohesive storyline. The   
       release will also include a never-before-seen 7 1/2-minute   
       animated sequence.   
      
       "Kill Bill" was originally conceived and filmed as a single   
       feature, but was split into two installments during the editing   
       process to accommodate its epic-length four-hour-plus runtime.   
       The parts were released six months apart, in October 2003 and   
       April 2004. The pair of installments, considered by Tarantino as   
       his collective fourth feature, were a box office success,   
       grossing more than $330 million worldwide between them.   
      
       Tarantino premiered "The Whole Bloody Affair" at the Cannes Film   
       Festival in 2006, playing out of competition. In 2008, he first   
       floated plans to put out "The Whole Bloody Affair" as a single   
       release. The re-edited work debuted in 2011 at the director's   
       own New Beverly Cinema in Los Angeles. The film has remained in   
       the vault for years since, becoming somewhat of a white whale   
       for the director's fans.   
      
       The film only came back to a theater this past summer, with his   
       Cannes personal print, French subtitles and all, getting an   
       eventized limited run at L.A.'s Vista Theater, which the director   
       also owns. That run included an intermission between the first   
       and second parts.   
      
       Lionsgate currently manages library distribution rights for   
       several Tarantino features, including "Reservoir Dogs," "Jackie   
       Brown," "Inglourious Basterds," "Django Unchained," "The Hateful   
       Eight" and "Death Proof."
