After Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair’s announcement, I practically consider Quentin Tarantino an honorary Santa. As the re-cut to the Uma Thurman starring revenge epic is finally heading into wide theatrical release, the wait is over for anyone who doesn’t live near the New Beverly. We now have the first trailer for this pop culture grail, complete with a bloody exciting look at some of the changes!

While we still have to wait until December 5th to cut into the The Whole Bloody Affair, Lionsgate gave the world a bit of an early gift. As you’ll see below, this reel promoting the entire Kill Bill experience not only shows us the Crazy 88 fight in full color, there’s another treat in store: 

Now doesn’t that new animation look absolutely bad ass? I’d certainly say so, and that’s keeping in mind that Kill Bill Vol. 1 already has that classic segment involving O-Ren Ishii’s origins. But seeing The Bride battling the Crazy 88s without black and white obscuration is still probably the huge draw to Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair’s new variant on an old story! Of course that means you’re going to be at the movies for a while.

With a 281-minute running time (complete with 15 minute intermission), you’re going to be parked for almost five frenetic hours of vengeance and one-liners. Then again, this is Quentin Tarantino we’re talking about here; and if anyone was going to bring back movies so long you need an intermission, he’d be on the list. (Hell, he put an intermission into The Hateful Eight’s roadshow version; and that movie was much shorter.)

If you’re thinking all of this pageantry isn’t enough for Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair, you’re technically right. So before you go too far, check out the beautiful one-sheet you’ll probably see landing in a movie house near you real soon:

So folks, you’d better make your revenge lists and check ‘em twice before December 5th! That’s when Beatrix Kiddo comes to town with Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair in digital, 35mm, and 70mm versions of theatrical splendor. Now if we could just get a confirmation for a home release in 4K, Mr. Tarantino would be the cool king of the nice list in 2025.
