Nov. 20 (UPI) -- Lionsgate released a new still from Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair on Thursday. Additionally, the studio confirmed 70mm and 35mm locations for the Dec. 5. release.
The still comes from the extended animated sequence in the first half of the film. The anime sequence explaining Yakuza boss O-ren Ishii's (Lucy Liu) past was truncated in the 2003 release of Kill Bill Vol. 1.
In The Whole Bloody Affair, the animated sequence is extended to show more of O-ren's childhood and her violent revenge against those who killed her family. The photo shows young O-ren slicing an opponent with a samurai sword with animated blood splatter.
Liu recently spoke with UPI for her upcoming film Rosemead. She was excited to learn that the extended anime revolves around her character.
"Wow, you just told me something I didn't know," Liu said. "I only found out about The Whole Bloody Affair, I think, when everyone else did so I was really excited."
