All right, here’s another quick post to let you all know that—just as predicted—Lionsgate is officially releasing Quentin Tarantino’s long-awaited Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair on 4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray on 7/28!
The SRP for the wide release SKU, which is available for pre-order now via this link on Amazon (click here) is $49.99.
The package will include the extended film on 2 UHD discs and 2 Blu-rays. Note that the film was spread over two discs to ensure the highest possible image quality, but it’s presented exactly as the director intended with a built-in intermission. And when you put the second disc in your player, it resumes playback automatically.
The 4K presentation will include Dolby Vision HDR. Audio will be lossless 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio.
Also note: The Lionsgate Limited website will have a special Collector’s Edition 4K + BD version available for pre-order later today (at this link) that includes exclusive packaging and swag.
This packaging will include a special “veil” cover that you lift to open the box. You can see that at left and also below. [Read on here...]
Inside, you’ll find a 40-page booklet by Tarantino, a 70mm film still, a set of character art cards, and two replica posters with the art from The Whole Bloody Affair’s theatrical screenings.
All SKUs will include one special feature: The Lost Chapter: Yuki’s Revenge, which is a fully realized animated sequence (in 4K) created with Fortnite using Unreal Engine 5.
And for you retro film fans, Lionsgate Limited will have an exclusive VHS version of the film as well.
Here’s a look at the Lionsgate Limited-exclusive “veil” 4K packaging, plus the open box and the VHS version as well…
Again, this should be available for pre-order very soon on the Lionsgate Limited website (link here). The wide release version is available now on Amazon.
Back with more later. Stay tuned!
