Fans of director Quentin Tarantino had a great time last year when he released his prose novel adaptation of the screenplay of Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Duplicating its “Hollywood Alternative Story,” the book goes into even more detail about the lives of characters Rick Dalton (Leonardo DiCaprio) and Cliff Booth (Brad Pitt Academy Award), extending beyond the end of the film and in fact bringing Tarantino himself into the mix (the book notes a film that never made the Oscar-winning protagonist Trudy Fraser, the young actress who appears in Lancer with the character of DiCaprio). I know Quentin can take even more meta.
Speaking in an interview with Empire, Tarantino revealed that he has already written another Once upon a time in Hollywood next book with a book “The Films Of Rick Dalton”. Tarantino not only wrote the book himself but is also its author in the context of his world Once upon a time in Hollywood. He says on the show: “He gives you a short biography of his life. And then he starts his career:” … and then there’s this episodic TV show, and then this other TV show, and then this movie, and this movie “, and it starts with the small parts that it has in it, and makes, with small reviews for each thing, small summaries for each of them. And he spent his whole career until he retired in 1988. “
Tarantino went on to reveal that the book “” was written by me, by Quentin Tarantino, in 1999 “and includes a” huge Q&A he (had) with Rick at the time “as a prologue.” It’s all written. It exists! ”He notes.
Will you see it though? Unfortunately, probably not. Tarantino said the book probably had a “limited audience”. He added, “But everyone who likes Rick and is interested in Rick and is interested in Rick’s course and has now invested in my alternative Hollywood story … Well, that takes the alternative Hollywood story to the end. the bitter end “.
Once Upon A Time in Hollywood was Tarantino’s ninth film as a director and he is reportedly still committed to officially retiring after his upcoming tenth film, details of which do not exist (perhaps because he has not decided what it will be).
“No, I have no idea (what the new movie will be),” Tarantino told CBS Sunday Morning last year. “If I had to guess, I would think Once Upon A Time in Hollywood is an epic at the end of my career. If I had to guess, I would think the tenth film would be more epilogue … It’s just not an epic, you said the big story and then there is the little thing at the end “.
