‘Once Upon A Time In Hollywood’ Making-Of Book From Quentin Tarantino Coming Soon With 10 In Total Releasing

Filmmaker Quentin Tarantino‘s mark in the world of book publishing is about to have quite the boost after writing a novelization of “Once Upon A Time In Hollywood” and “Cinema Speculation.” More books are on the horizon as Deadline reveals an updated, ambitious deal Tarantino has made that will see a wave of making-of books exploring the director’s ten films (including his unmade final feature project).

Starting with “The Making of Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon A Time In Hollywood,” we’ll eventually see similar books exploring other efforts such as “Reservoir Dogs,” “Pulp Fiction,” “Jackie Brown,” “Kill Bill Vol.1,” “Kill Bill Vol.2,” “Death Proof,” “Inglourious Basterds,” and whatever shakes out to be his final movie.

Tarantino and journalist/author Jay Glennie will be working on three of those deep-dive making-of books (coffee table-sized, because why not?) with publisher Insight Editions, as the “Once Upon A Time In Hollywood” release is said to be heading to stores for November 11. Those other two making-of books that Tarantino/Glennie will be tackling together will be “Inglourious Basterds” and “Django Unchained,” as those will be coming out respectively sometime in 2026 and 2027.

We’re still a little in the dark when it comes to what that tenth and final film will be after “The Movie Critic” fell apart and he wrote a script about Brad Pitt‘s Cliff Booth (a stuntman and WWII hero that that got away with killing his wife) for a “Once Upon A Time In Hollywood” follow-up film that David Fincher (“The Killer”) will direct for Netflix that The Playlist first announced.

The director had also been trying to put together a “Bounty Law” (Rick Dalton’s bounty hunter Western series shown at the start of “Hollywood”) series that has been written, but we’re still waiting to hear some major updates on that front (we shouldn’t be shocked if Netflix ends up with that one, too).

In the past, he’s mused about doing films crossing the genres like a spy movie based on the work of author Len Deighton, a 1930s gangster/bank robber pic mentioning “Pretty Boy Floyd” as a reference, and there were even rumblings of a film set in medieval England.

While it’s unlikely we’ll be keeping our fingers crossed that Tarantino may end up publishing various unused scripts like “The Movie Critic,” his never-made script for Hong Kong action director John Woo, or other unrealized spinoffs/sequels (“Kill Bill 3” or “The Vega Brothers“) as novelizations down the road. However, it sounds like the director has plenty on his plate with the promise of that tenth film still looming and this new book deal.
