Years ago Quentin Tarantino made two promises: one, that he would make two animes that would tie into the history of Kill Bill and two, that he would edit the two Kill Bills into one film, subtitled The Whole Bloody Affair. According to Uma Thurman we are much closer to this being a reality.
Thurman tells MTV News that one of the animes is possibly close to completion; at the very least she’s seen enough of it to tell the site that “His anime stuff is strong,” and for them to paraphrase her as saying that it will ‘blow you away.’ Whatever the anime is, it has nothing to do with her, as she’s not recorded any voicework for it (MTV speculates it’s a Bill origin story).
She also revived talk of the The Whole Bloody Affair. “Right now he’s putting the two films together with an intermission with
an added anime sequence he had already written,” she said. “So additional stories are in there, in
animation.”
But what does ‘right now’ mean when it comes to QT? The guy operates on his own schedule, it seems, and he certainly has plenty of time to show up at the lovely New Beverly Cinema on the regular – although I wouldn’t dare bug him about The Whole Bloody Affair when he’s there. In my few encounters with him he’s been a nice guy, but he seems more interested in talking about the movies that are being shown than his own films.
Now a year after Grindhouse we can get back to the favored activity of Tarantino fans: impatiently tapping our foot as we wait for news of what he is actually doing next.

I eagerly await The Whole Bloody Affair and am happy to hear any news about it. Thanks, Devin.
Fuck yes. Sounds like we'll get to see the lost chapter, dealing with the sister's revenge.
Frankly. I think the whole Kill Bill enterprise deserves one of CHUD's You Got it All Wrong send-ups.
Nice to finally hear an update about this, I remember first hearing about this years ago.
He showed The Whole Bloody Affair at Cannes about 2 years ago, and a special screening in Austin back in Oct. 2006…a full-on DVD of TWBA was scheduled for release las year, they even had a mock-up of the DVD package at Comic Con…so, I'm guessing he's re-cutting it again? Or maybe Uma's just running her mouth? Or, possibly I've slipped into some alternate dimension where Tarantino will re-cut the fuck out of it for eternity!
i had heard way back that Takashi Miike was going to do the missing bit from the movie with GoGo's sister as a stage play in Japan. Hall, even seeing that in TWBA as an animated segment would be nice – i remember it being the most intense scene in the original screenplay.
I second "You Got it all Wrong: Kill Bill", either under "overrated" or "what the fuck".
I love QT, but only Nunziata dreams up more hair brained shit that doesn't come to fruition. Of course, people actually want to see Tarantino's projects. Unlike that fat greaseball that haunts this site.
Kill Bill was a tremendously fun time at the movies. You cannot deny it. Unless you're a dead, keyboard-tappin' corpse with no (figurative) soul.
The Whole Bloody Affair that was shown in Austin was hardly a finished version. It literally looked as if the two volumes had been spliced together with an intermission thrown in. It did have the uncensored battle with the Crazy 88's but, if memory serves me correct, it also had both closing credits in their. I eagerly await the final DVD, but it looks like he wants to add more before he ships it out.
im sorry, but why does tarantino keep gloating over "kill bill"? i agree with the posters above, that movie is the definition of what the fuck….both of the movies feel so fucking smug….although they didnt suck as bad as "death proof"…besides kurt russell, any director could have pumped that boring drivel out
Uma's probably talking it up because she has yet another missable film to spruke and is using the remaining interest in Kill Bill to gain traction with a dis-interested marketplace. I'm guessing the New Beverly name-drops are Dev's attempts to make it Chud's "home" cinema similar to AICN's Alamo Drafthouse?
kill bills were something to drool over back in a day. not any more. great films come out all the time – get over it you GT worshippers and GT himself. death proof was utter crap, so why not take the easy way and return to glory days of kill bill – cheap says I …
I can ALWAYS watch a Tarantino movie. I can't get enough of the guy's movies. I wish I could make some edits to the first 20mins of Death Proof though. Not that it's bad. Just makes the movie feel glacial in pace. (Just watched it so that's why it's on my mind.) Honestly, I'd rather hear he's working on another projects, but I will certainly take more Kill Bill anime.
I want this RIGHT NOW. I still have never bought Kill Bill Vol. 1 or 2 on DVD because there is no special features on them, and I didn't want to be double dipped when the enevitable collection came out. Ofcourse, I've rented both films numerous times over the last few years, so I probably could have just bought them and saved a few bucks. I have yet to see a Tarantino flick I didn't love. Even Death Proof was awesome (although Planet Terror was better).

FUCK OFF AND DIE ASSHOLE
You would have to be a limp wristed romantic period piece lovin nancy boy not to love Kill Bill. Kill Bill is the film equivalent of bacon and natural breasts, it represents something pure, magical, delicious and right in the film world. If you do not like Kill Bill you should be ashamed to admit it even anomously because your cunt is filled with shit.
What's the point of the whole bloody affair if it has an intermission, i could just swap DVD's. Edited into one movie means one movie.
Kill Bill is as great as Devin is fat and ugly.
MAN:
I couldn't disagree more. After I watched as much Kill Bill as I could (I couldn't even get through the first one. Just kept getting bored and changing the channel.) I would say this is the film equivalent of silicone hooters and bologna. To me it seemed like more smug, artificial, and self-indulgent crap from Tarantino. Like Death Proof. He still hasn't topped Reservoir Dogs (which I still love).
"(…) we can get back to the favored activity of Tarantino fans: impatiently tapping our foot as we wait for news of what he is actually doing next" — or can't we..? I don't know, Quentin–hurry up, come up with something *good* already
"Sounds like we'll get to see the lost chapter, dealing with the sister's revenge."
Not likely. Who would she get her revenge on if Uma's not doing any voice work? It's gotta be about Bill.
