Tarantino, in two parts

Miramax Films will release Quentin Tarantino’s martial-arts adventure film, “Kill Bill,” in two installments. The first volume of the three-hour movie will be released Oct. 10, according to the New York Times. The second part could follow two to six months later. “Kill Bill” is the Oscar-winning writer-director’s first film since 1997’s “Jackie Brown” and revolves around the world’s most deadly female assassin, who is shot on her wedding day and falls into a coma for five years. After regaining consciousness, she seeks revenge upon the man who tried to murder her. The fight sequences were filmed mainly in China.
