Although the details regarding Quentin Tarantino’s highly anticipated 10th and final film remain under wraps, fans can look forward to his exciting new project: a series of stunning coffee table books that delve into the creative process behind his nine acclaimed films. These books, which were initially hinted at last year in a more limited format, will be meticulously crafted by the talented Jay Glennie, who has previously authored insightful works on the making of cinematic classics like The Deer Hunter and Performance. The first installment, focusing on the celebrated film Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood, is set to be released on November 11th, promising an in-depth exploration of Tarantino’s cinematic artistry.
As of now, the schedule for the release of these eagerly awaited books remains uncertain. While we are not informed about the exact sequence of their publication, there are hints that Tarantino may have designated certain titles as higher priorities. In a statement reflecting on this collaboration, Tarantino expressed, “Myself and my cast and crews have loved reliving our time making Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, Inglourious Basterds and Django Unchained with Jay, and we’re all looking forward to seeing the finished books. This is just the beginning, as I know Jay is as excited as me to explore my other movies.” Notably, if this sequence is followed, it appears that The Hateful Eight may be overlooked in this initial release cycle.
According to the listing on Amazon for The Making of Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood, the book will comprise an impressive 400 pages and weigh nearly three pounds. To ensure a comprehensive representation of his work, Tarantino has granted Glennie unrestricted access to all desired materials. Additionally, Glennie has conducted extensive interviews with both leading and supporting actors from the film, enriching the content with their insights and experiences during the production.
Reflecting on his journey to document Tarantino’s cinematic masterpieces, Glennie shared with Deadline, “When Quentin asked me if ‘I wanted to give his flicks the Jay Glennie Treatment’ I jumped at the opportunity. Quentin’s films have been the touchstone of my film education. Pulp Fiction was the first film Kelly, my now wife, and I saw together. His films mean everything to me. So to be invited to take deep dives into each of them, with Quentin and his casts and crews is an honor. I simply cannot wait for Quentin’s millions of fans across the world to read our first release, Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood.”
