Quentin Tarantino’s rarely-seen, single-film version of his martial arts revenge saga, Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair, is set to be released nationwide in theaters for the first time on Dec. 5, 2025, distributor Lionsgate announced.

The unified epic, which combines Kill Bill: Volume 1 and Volume 2 into one unrated film, will include a new, never-before-seen 7 1/2-minute animated sequence. This special presentation removes the cliffhanger ending from the first volume and the recap that opened the second.

Tarantino, who wrote and directed the film, emphasized the importance of seeing the combined work on the big screen.

“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,” Tarantino said. “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!”

Select presentations of the film are anticipated to screen in 70mm and 35mm in all major markets.

The film stars Uma Thurman as The Bride, who awakens from a coma four years after her former boss and lover, Bill, ambushes her wedding rehearsal, shoots her in the head, and steals her unborn child. The story follows her quest to hunt down Bill and the four remaining members of the Deadly Viper Assassination Squad.

Lionsgate, which manages library distribution rights for a large portfolio of Tarantino films, will handle the release. The studio’s Tarantino collection also includes Reservoir Dogs, Jackie Brown, Inglourious Basterds, Django Unchained, The Hateful Eight, and Death Proof.

Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair also stars Lucy Liu, Vivica A. Fox, Michael Madsen, Daryl Hannah, Gordon Liu, Michael Parks, and David Carradine as Bill. The film is produced by Lawrence Bender.

Last November, Neil Young tuned 72, but the old Canuck has still got tons of energy. He’s released six studio albums in the last three-and-a-half years and now we learn that he’s also shot a movie. It’s called Paradox and it was directed by actress Daryl Hannah, who’s currently dating Young. (Nice one, Neil.)

The movie also stars Willie Nelson, and his two sons Lukas and Micah, who have teamed up with Young on the albums The Monsanto Years and The Visitor. 

Paradox is slated to premiere at South By Southwest in March and it sounds weird as all hell. Here’s a description released by the filmmakers:

Time is fluid in this far-fetched, whimsical western tale of music and love. Somewhere in the future past, The Man In the Black Hat hides out between heists at an old stagecoach stop with Jail Time, the Particle Kid, and an odd band of outlaws.

Mining the detritus of past civilizations, they wait… for the Silver Eagle, for the womenfolk, and for the full moon’s magic to give rise to the music and make the spirits fly.

OK, then!

Paradox isn’t Young’s first acting role, but it’s his first in a long time. His last acting credit where he wasn’t himself came in his 2003 film Greendale. Young wrote, directed and acted in the film, which was an accompaniment to an album of the same name. 

Fifteen years before that, Young was in ’68, a drama about a Hungarian immigrants who relocated to San Francisco. In 1987 he played Truck Drive in Made in Heaven, which also included cameos by Tom Petty and Ric Ocasek of The Cars.
