Movies - Tarantino to make "Kill Bill" 3 and 4

"According to Bennett Walsh, an executive producer of both "Kill Bill" movies, the plots for two more movies have been shaped and there is a chance that director Quentin Tarantino may return to China to shoot them.

Walsh said that the third film involves the revenge of two killers whose arms and eyes were hacked by Uma Thurman in the first stories. While, the fourth installment concerns a cycle of reprisals and daughters who avenge their mother's deaths.

At this point, it is not clear whether the scripts for the films are complete or how soon Tarantino plans to begin shooting. Last we heard, he was planning "Inglorious Bastards" as his next project."

Awesome news, though Tarantino is notorious for talking about tons of upcoming projects; most of which never happen. I'm a huge fan of the "Kill Bill" movies and I would be very excited to see two more; the plot details he announced sound great. The third film being about the revenge of two of the mutilated victims of the Crazy 88’s from the awesome House of Blue Leaves scene in Kill Bill Vol. 1, and the fourth film being about the daughters of Beatrix Kiddo and Vernita Green. The whole idea of the fourth film, with the battle of the two daughters, Tarantino has mentioned wanting to do before. Overall great news, I would like to see these films get made.

Movies - "Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair" Hits DVD

"There are certain movies out there that make us wonder how they would look when they hit DVD, and would we get a different version than the one shown at the theaters. When Christopher Nolan's "Memento" was released, I was hoping that the DVD would also include a version which is played in chronological order. "Grindhouse" is now being released separately on DVD, which is different from its theatrical showing. And what about "Kill Bill"? Will we ever get a special edition DVD which would merge both Volume 1 and Volume 2 into one film, like Quentin Tarantino originally intended?

According to Amazon, via Slashfilm, The Weinstein Company along with Genius Products are doing just that and will release "Kill Bill - The Whole Bloody Affair" DVD set on November 6th. The set will consist of four discs for a total runtime of 247 minutes and will be rated NC-17.

In the "Kill Bill" films, the Bride (Uma Thurman) wakes up after a long coma. The baby that she carried before entering the coma is gone. The only thing on her mind is to have revenge on the assassination team that betrayed her - a team she was once part of."

Two words: Fuck Yes. I had posted about the rumor that it might be finally coming out a little while back; looks like the rumor was mostly true, the release date would be the only difference. I'm extremely excited for this personally. I have been waiting for this DVD since the movies first came out. Kill Bill, for whatever reason, is one of my favorite films. November 6th can't come soon enough.

Movies - Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair released in September?

"Two of my favourite DVD’s are the Japanese uncut versions of Kill Bill Vol. 1 and 2 that I own.

I watch them all the time, I’m addicted to the film. My girlfriend’s the same. I think we have decided to watch both films around four times in the last 18 months and I dread to think how many times I’ve watched it on my own.

The Japanese addition of the DVD has a couple of more scenes that were cut out of the Western release of the film, including the “colour” fight scene at the House of Blue Leaves that were black and white in other versions.

There’s also a couple of extra’s and such.

Anyway, for a long time we have heard about director Quentin Tarantino releasing a special 4 Disc Special Edition of the movie that would re-cut them together as one film, 100% uncut and contain a shit load of extra’s. Finally it looks like it could be happening.

An article at TCM found through Everything Tarantino, has this set listed for a 18th September release but no other websites across the web have this info.

However, the only thing that will make me double dip here is if Quentin does a commentary which I’m really hoping he will. I loved his track on Tony Scott’s movie True Romance which he wrote, they are so entertaining but he just doesn’t bother doing them for his own movies.

In an update on yesterday’s news, Amazon are now listing the Death Proof DVD on their site, with Everything Tarantino speculating it will be a 2 Disc release containing both the theatrical cut and the longer version that was screened at Cannes.

That is also said to have an 18th September release, which really does add fuel to the fire that the Kill Bill set would be released on the same day."

Taken from Obsessed With Film, I saw this article the other day and was waiting to see if any other movie blogs would post about it, but none of the ones I visit did, so I guess you can file this under 'rumor'. The Kill Bill movies are 2 of my personal absolute favorite movies. I own both the bare-bones U.S. DVD versions of the films and have been waiting and waiting for Tarantino to release the 'holy shit edition' of the movies. So when I saw this article it put a smile on my face and I really hope this rumor is true. If it indeed is released on September 18th, that would make that day pretty epic, with the Death Proof DVD supposedly coming out on that same day as well.

Video - Kill Bill Deleted Scene


Really cool deleted scene that reminds me of many old-school Kung Fu movies that used the same music, camera zoom, cheesy voice sync, and etc. However it was probably deleted for obvious reasons; it wouldn't have flowed very well at all with the movie, it just doesn't fit. Still an awesome scene I wouldn't mind seeing on its own, maybe played between the two movies as a short or a trailer.
