Quentin Tarantino’s unreleased 4 hour ‘best film’ finally heading to cinemas | Films | Entertainment

Quentin Tarantino says he will only ever make 10 movies and after Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, he only has one left.

Among the nine so far are Kill Bill Vol 1 and Kill Bill Vol 2, which he counts as one movie.

The Oscar-winning filmmaker shot Kill Bill as one film, and that extensive cut hasn’t screened since Cannes 2006, where Indie Wire called it his “best film”.

But now Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair is heading to select cinemas this Christmas.

The 4 hour and 18 minute epic will be screened in 70mm and 35 mm formats, with a 7.5-minute anime sequence that wasn’t in the original theatrical release.

Tarantino shared: “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. 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!”

Indie Wire shared: “When seeing it all as one piece, we wrote that Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair plays like Sergio Leone classics like Once Upon a Time in the West or Once Upon a Time in America that combine elements of Hollywood genre movies but breathe new life into them.

Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair hits US cinemas on December 5, 2025, so fingers crossed it’s the same for the UK.
