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...]

Heads up, Digital Bits readers…

We’ve learned that Lionsgate is about to announce the 4K Ultra HD Steelbook release of Quentin Tarantino’s Kill Bill: Volumes 1 & 2 (2003/2004) along with Jackie Brown (1997).

All three titles should appear for pre-order on their new Lionsgate Limited direct-to-consumer website sometime early tomorrow.

Jackie Brown stars Pam Grier as a flight attendant who smuggles money into the US from Mexico for a small-time crime boss, and who is then used as bait by the police to catch him. The film is based on Elmore Leonard’s 1992 novel Rum Punch.

Kill Bill: Volumes 1 & 2 are Tarantino’s martial arts actioners and an homage to the Shaw Brothers, Toshiya Fujita’s Lady Snowblood (1972), and exploitation cinema. It stars Uma Thurman as a woman who vows to get revenge upon the assassins who tried to kill her and her unborn child. [Read on here...]
