Harvey Weinstein and Quentin Tarantino have always had an unconventional, yet highly effective Hollywood partnership.
In over 20 years working together, arguably the smartest thing the pair ever did was splitting Kill Bill into two movies, and making twice the box office as a result.
However, Tarantino has revealed that he is not finished, and intends to squeeze even more money out of his Samurai revenge epic.
Since 2003, the Pulp Fiction director has been talking about releasing Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair, and now it looks like it will happen in 2015.
In fact, the Oscar winner confirmed that it was the work of Japanese Anime Studio, I.G., who prompted him to finally go ahead with the project.
He said (via Collider): “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."
He added: "I.G., who did Ghost in the Shell, said we can't do that and finish it in time for your thing.
"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."
This won’t be the first time the film will be seen in one cut, as it premiered at Cannes in 2003 as one film, and again was screened at the New Beverly Cinema in Los Angeles in 2011, for a couple of weeks.
However, aside from the 30-minute anime sequence, Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair will almost certainly have a few extras thrown in, which will make it distinct from the Cannes cut, hence the reason Tarantino has taken over a decade to release it.
