Kill Bill Volume 2 Delayed

The theatrical release date for Kill Bill Volume 2 has officially been pushed back to April 16th, 2004 in the US. It was originally scneduled for a February release. Rumor is, its worldwide opening may be at the Cannes Film Festival.

UPDATE: FoxNews has Quentin's explanation of the delay:
Tarantino told me that we will not be seeing "Kill Bill: Vol. 2" until April instead of the planned February release. "To make that date I would have had to come back from promoting ['Vol. 1'] and go right back into editing," he said. "I had to take a break."

Maybe we should find the Miramax headquarters and seize the volume 2 copies ourselves! That would show those big wigs.

i guess the vol.2 would make any sense... i was a bit disappointed by the first part, but i guess that's the whole concept.
is there going to be a vol.3?

if there's a part 3, i'm gonna beat up somebody. i can't wait anymore longer!

well this is shitty but 6 months isnt THAT long...think of how screwed all the LOTR fans were...they had to wait 2 years to finish one story

I think this sucks two, you all just have to suck it up and wait. I think it will do better if people have a break from Volume 1.
And to whomever said stupid Tarantino...go to hell!

Oh, God, please say it isn't true! April?! What the hell is going to get me through Valentine's Day now? Anyone know when the DVD comes out? I saw Vol. I 5 times at the theatre. Sigh. Where's my sword?

Uh, duh. I see now that the Vol. 1 DVD comes out in April as well. In my panic for some sort of concelation, I neglected to actually read the rest of the information on the site. Damn. Tarantino way deserves his break but I feel like chopping someone's limbs right off.

you guys are all getting a little to worked up about this, boo hoo, we have to wait another 2 months!! oh dear its gonna kill me im sure, its two months guys, and if it makes kill bill less rushed and a better movie its damn worth it. Tarantino knows a hell of a lot more about making movies than we do, so lets let him do his job and we will do ours, prasie it when it comes out cuase we all know its gonna rock,


jeez its a movie guys, calm down

Tarantino is a good friend of mine and he really needs this break. If not he might make Jackie Brown 2 and noone wants that.

you don't know tarantino personally you liar

The way it was portrayed to me was that Kill Bill was a finished product, and then Tarantino & Co. decided to split it into two parts... This is just bad planning, why would you release the second part of one movie after all of the hype surrounding it has died down? If anything, I would have liked to have volume one released later so that I would not be left dying in apprehension.
So frustrating

I honestly don't think this is Quentin's doing. I blame Harvey Weinstein. This is a shameless marketing decision. Think about it: the DVD for vol. 1 is to be released April 13 and only a few days later vol. 2 will be in theaters. Miramax may be 'The House That Tarantino Built' but someone else is living in it.

I'm just pissed off because I got to see Volume 1 right before my theater took it away forever... so I've only seen it once, and now have to wait four more months to see it finished...

DYING!

I love how these people all hop on a bandwagon. fuck Tarantino. blah blah blah.

you're probably not even old enough to see this movie.

Tarantino needs a break. He deserves it. He might have had 5 years off, but when this kind of movie is coming up, he's losing sleep, and promoting the hell out of it. Thats called work.

I have no issue waiting a little longer. And yes, this is definately also a push from Miramax to boost sales. So what?
Its called marketing, and thats how the world works.
We live in a capitalistic world. Want to change it? Stop using the internet fools.

Kill Bill Fans are allowed to be upset by this delay. To say that we are not allowed to be mad is retarded. Its not like anyone has shot Tarantino over it, the fans are merely venting. I don't see why their frustration is upsetting anyone. Cause its stupid? Oh, what a suprise, someone posted something dumb on the internet. Warn the others for us will you?

Actually. I like that it is being pushed back till April. Think of it like this

IF Q had edited when he just got back from press tours he wouldnt have done as good a job as we all would have wanted him to do. These movies are good enough to wait for they really are.

Oh by the way Q said in a interveiw with Conan O'brian , when he was promoting the first move ( about the febuary relesase date) " Yah thats right... if i finish editing them in time."

WHAT THE FUCK! KILL BILL 1 AND 2 SHOULD BE ON ONE DVD, DAMNIT. A BIG FUCK YOU TO ALL YOU QUENTIN HATERS!

There seems to be two recurring arguments in this forum: "Tarentino owes us better," and "Tarentino knows best." I don't buy either one. Unless you know him personally, he owes you shit. Did you bum him a cigarrette at a party? Did you change his tire once? Great, then tell him to release Kill Bill in February as planned. Otherwise shut up and wait patiently.

Of course the "Tarentino knows best" argument is just as bogus. You think its coincidence that his "break" moved the release of Volume 2 from mid-February to TWO DAYS AFTER Volume 1 is released on video? Please. Tarentino is a great writer and director; but deep down inside he's still human and I'm sure a bit of a greedy Hollywood type (at the least Miramax definately is). Volume 2 is being released late to make someone a lot of money, not because "Q" needed a break.

This must be a kick ass flick if QT has the confidence to piss off his fans for a while, then again he is the cockiest little shit in the world bar non

Hey, I can wait for Vol. 2. It'll be that much more sweet when I finally see for the first time (and second, third, fourth, etc. times). Chill out and enjoy the anticipation. It'll be worth it.

For anyone interested, THE MAGIC BAG in Ferndale, MI (Detroit!) will be having a brew & view screeing of Kill Bill Vol. 1 on Feb. 19 and 25th. Admission is only $2 and beer is cheap. Join me and the rest of the family!!!

Well, I think it's crap that it's not coming out until April. The winter sucks big time and I was really looking forward to seeing this in Feb. I also am pissed that it's not on 1 dvd.

He's a fucking genoius. I mean there is no technical reason for the delay, but his trying to ride us on the cliff hanger until we start crying and begging him for it to end. It creates a more enjoyable experience at the movies. But that's just my opnion

I was so excited that kill bill 2 was going to come out then i saw on this site that its not! Fuck it is a long time to wait but what can we do. At least we dont have to wait years like star wars!

Good god....get a life...He's an awesome director and his movies are definately amazing, but for christ's sake, I think you need to fucking back off a little. I mean, come on people...Go find yourself a girl or boy....or both...whatever.

just try to pace yourselves people! watch the old ones one a month until the new one comes out. the reason you're so frustrated is that you watched the first one, what, 15 (!) times in a couple of months! calm down!
