Both films maahed together. The Whole Bloody Affair has existed in torrent sites for many years, which leads me ro believe that it is a fan edit. If I am correct then Tarrantino is about to cash in on an edit he probably torrented himself.

That's highly unlikely. The trailer says it has previously cut scenes. Also there's no way he'd distribute an edited Blu-ray rip to theaters. His love of film wouldn't allow it.

His love of film wouldn't allow it.

This is a great point. I don't know what the genesis of the bootleg is, but it is unlikely a copy of the original 35mm from Cannes.

no it's real

although I guess it's possible fans reused the name to release earlier? this has been anticipated for a long time but I guess he really wanted to wait to do a theatrical release before the bluray release?

idk if there was ever a review copy or leak of his edit, but it appears he's been sitting on it for a long time

Someone on Reddit said:

I got a chance to see Quentin's personal print of The Whole Bloody Affair in 2013. All I can say is that if you're a fan of the films get ready to love them even more. The editing that got done to make this two separate films made a mishap in the plot with the included cliffhanger & reveal that is almost unforgivable when you watch the completed film and makes the second part so much more tense & enjoyable.

And some history

The Whole Bloody Affair is the name of the official two-movie home release from many years ago. The movies were still separate parts, just sold together.

I’m guessing this new release is the films properly rejoined. This is my first time hearing about a fan edit but it makes sense that someone already did it.
