Tarantino has often cited film critic Pauline Kael as a literary nhân vật and over the years has hinted he might take a career pivot toward writing about his film passions as a next career when he retires after directing his tenth film. This book is described by the publisher as a “deep dive into the movies of the 1970’s, a rich set of essays, reviews, personal writing, và tantalizing “what if’s,” from one of cinema’s most celebrated filmmakers, and its most devoted fan.”The Once Upon A Time In Hollywood novel will chart the lives of Tarantino’s two protagonists – TV actor Rick Dalton và his stunt double Cliff Booth – both forward và backward in time. In scripting the film, Tarantino steeped himself in the mythology of everything from Los Angeles in the summer before the Manson Family murders, lớn the TV Westerns that DiCaprio’s character Rick Dalton came from, down to lớn the Italian Spaghetti Westerns that gave Clint Eastwood a career post Rawhide, & gave Dalton a lifeline. As part of his research, Tarantino wrote half a dozen episodes of Dalton’s series, Bounty Law, & has expressed a desire khổng lồ direct them as a limited series.
“In the seventies movie novelizations were the first adult books I grew up reading,” says Tarantino. “And to this day I have a tremendous amount of affection for the genre. So as a movie-novelization aficionado, I’m proud to announce Once Upon A Time In Hollywood my contribution to lớn this often marginalized, yet beloved sub-genre in literature. I’m also thrilled lớn further explore my characters & their world in a literary endeavor that can (hopefully) sit alongside its cinematic counterpart.”
Vice President và Executive Editor Noah Eaker, who acquired North American rights from Tarantino’s WME reps said, “Quentin Tarantino’s literary talents have been in plain sight since his first scripts, but lớn see how skillfully he endows his characters with life on the page and how he constantly takes a reader by surprise, even one who knows the movie by heart, is lớn see a master storyteller trying on a new form and making it his own.”
