Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair is a longer cut of Quentin Tarantino‘s two-part epic, originally released in 2003 and 2004. The most notable inclusion in the extended cut is a 30-minute anime sequence.

In 2011, The Whole Bloody Affair screened at the New Beverly Cinema in Los Angeles; however, it was never shown again.

But that may change. At Comic-Con 2014, Tarantino teased the possibility that it may finally be coming to theaters in a year. From Slashfilm, here is Tarantino’s monologue on the film:

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.
