DavisDVD.com is now reporting a rumor they received about the upcoming Special Edition DVDs for Quentin Tarantino’s Kill Bill series and this is what they had to say:
Tarantino revealed that he plans to recut both films together for a special theatrical release later in the year. “We did a special version [of Volume 1] for Japan that’s only been shown in Japan and Hong Kong, and I kept the rights to that,” Tarantino said. “I’ll put the Japanese version together [with Volume 2] like I would if it was one complete movie, and then I’ll release that throughout America and Europe in arthouse engagements.”
Tarantino also promises more extensive DVD plans for the revenge films. “I’m going to do a special collector’s edition of both of them once I’m finished with both of them,” he said. Also in the talking phase, Tarantino is considering the possibility of releasing stand-alone supplemental discs. “One of the things that I saw that I liked… was what the American Pie guys did with their ‘Beneath the Crust’ documentaries. I want to do the same thing [for Kill Bill].” Thanks to Tom for the scoop.
So, whether you should wait or not to buy Volume One on DVD tomorrow is still up in the air, but you will be running to Blockbuster more than you like if you don’t, I guarantee it.
