In 2003 and 2004, Harvey Weinstein famously convinced Tarantino to split his massive samurai-western-revenge script into two cinematic installments: Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 . While this worked for the box office, it altered the pacing and structure of the story.

The move to Lionsgate is the most promising news in a decade. Lionsgate has been a champion of high-quality physical media, frequently releasing "Steelbook" editions and working closely with directors on definitive transfers.

For physical media collectors and Tarantino disciples, there is no greater "Holy Grail" than Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair .
