It?s been a long, cold winter, but finally the date is set! Ever since the disappointing news that cinemagoers would have to wait an extra six months to see Bill killed, breath has been baited for news of a final release date.
And here it is.
On the same day as our cousins across the pond, 16 April, viewers in the UK will get to see the eastern-western treat that is Kill Bill Volume 2.
The only downside to this delightful news is for those privileged few attending the Cannes Film Festival.
Since Cannes runs from May 12 ? 23, and Kill Bill Volume 2 opens well before that, it is likely to be out of the running for the opening slot, which is not normally given to films already on release.
Cannes organisers are today playing down the chances of Tarantino?s film kicking things off.
So that?s Public 1 ? Festival-goers 0.
