I'm hoping that this contains The Whole Bloody Affair.

Re: Lionsgate
About time. I revisited this a couple months ago on blu and, while still good, was surprised by how much the image could be improved upon. Kinda surreal, since this was also the first movie I ever saw on blu-ray about fifteen years ago, and was so blown away by what the format could achieve on a small screen that it made me viscerally uncomfortable. Oh how times have changed!

Re: Lionsgate
As much as I like Kill Bill both volumes, I find it sad that Jackie Brown does not appear to be getting a fresh 4k scan (yet?). Tarantino's best film to me. If he wasn't so hung up on retiring after the tenth film, I'd have enjoyed seeing him adapting more Leonard or something else.

Re: Lionsgate
Really curious what the remaster will entail. The originals went through 2K digital intermediates back when that was still a fairly new process, and quite frankly they've always looked like it. Ideally they'll rescan the 35mm source and create proper 4K DIs, but I wouldn't rule out the possibility they'll just make 4K scans of the 35mm film-outs.

Re: Lionsgate
I had seen a rumor that Harvey Weinstein personally owned the rights to that cut. It would be great if the rights reverted to Tarantino along with the rights to Jackie Brown and the individual Kill Bill Vols.yoloswegmaster wrote: ↑Thu May 25, 2023 5:48 pmI'm hoping that this contains The Whole Bloody Affair.

I’ve always thought that Tarantino intended to make it exclusively available through its very rare theatrical screenings

Re: Lionsgate
I get that logic to some minor degree, but since he always wanted it to be one movie and was pressured by Weinstein et al. to break it up as he did, I see no reason why he wouldn't want to restore a four hour experience for home viewers the way he intended it to be consumed. After all, the man collects celluloid, wants to start a blu-ray label, and is all about home screenings

When did Tarantino say he wanted to start a blu-ray label?

He was talking with Sony about selecting and presenting some of their titles. And, in typical Tarantino fashion, he just wants to do scans of theatrical prints.SeizureMilk wrote: ↑Fri May 26, 2023 1:48 amWhen did Tarantino say he wanted to start a blu-ray label?

Re: Lionsgate
was there even an actual whole bloody affair cut? I had read over the years that what he screened at New Beverly was more or less a quick slap together and not whatever his idea of what the Whole Bloody Affair would be. The only thing confirmed I had heard was the extended/colorized Blue Leaves fight. I had heard he also extended the anime sequence? can anyone actually confirm if that is true at least?

Re: Lionsgate
I genuinely hope he doesn't follow through on that cut, as removing the cliffhanger from the end of Vol 1 would be a tragedy - the song in that scene holds very deep significance to me and that's it's only usage in a movie that I've ever seen, and he did a perfect job with it. I'm hoping he keeps it in. it's one of the better moments in his filmography for me, and I haven't watched the film in a very long time

Re: Lionsgate
These integrated cut scenes were circulating 15+ years ago from the Japanese cut. The added gore to the Blue Leaves fight is terrific and inventive
