New Releases by Quentin Tarantino

Instant New York Times bestseller The long-awaited first work of nonfiction from the author of the #1 New York Times bestselling Once Upon a Time in Hollywood: a deliriously entertaining, wickedly intelligent cinema book as unique and creative as anything by Quentin Tarantino. In addition to being among the most celebrated of contemporary filmmakers, Quentin Tarantino is possibly the most joyously infectious movie lover alive. For years he has touted in interviews his eventual turn to writing books about films. Now, with Cinema Speculation, the time has come, and the results are everything his passionate fans—and all movie lovers—could have hoped for. Organized around key American films from the 1970s, all of which he first saw as a young moviegoer at the time, this book is as intellectually rigorous and insightful as it is rollicking and entertaining. At once film criticism, film theory, a feat of reporting, and wonderful personal history, it is all written in the singular voice recognizable immediately as QT’s and with the rare perspective about cinema possible only from one of the greatest practitioners of the artform ever.

AVAILABLE TO PRE-ORDER NOW THE DELUXE EDITION FEATURING NEW PHOTOS AND BONUS MATERIAL Quentin Tarantino's long-awaited first work of fiction - at once hilarious, delicious, and brutal - is the always surprising, sometimes shocking new novel based on his Academy Award-winning film. The sunlit studio back lots and the dark watering holes of Hollywood are the setting for this audacious, hilarious, disturbing novel about life in the movie colony, circa 1969. Once Upon a Time in Hollywood tells the story of washed-up actor Rick Dalton. Once Rick had his own television series, a famous western called "Bounty Law." But "it ain't been that time in a long time" and now Rick's only regular parts are as the heavy, ready to be bested by whichever young "swingin' dick" the networks want to make a new star out of come pilot season. When a talent agent approaches Rick about starring in Italian Westerns ("Eye-talian Westerns"?), it only ignites a new crisis of confidence for the perpetually insecure actor. And then there's Rick's stunt double, Cliff Booth, a war hero who killed more Japanese soldiers during the Second World War than any other American, and who never thought he'd make it back home. If Rick's career has stalled, Cliff's has flamed out. Already living under a cloud of suspicion after the strange death of his wife at sea, Cliff makes the mistake of picking the wrong fight on set, and is soon reduced to the status of Rick's full-time gofer. Right next door to Rick's still glamourous Benedict Canyon home ("the house that Bounty Law built") some Hollywood dreams are coming true, and these dreams belong to Sharon Tate. Not only is she Mrs. Roman Polanski - married to the only true rock star director - but Sharon is fast becoming a star in her own right, living life on the upswing in a tough town. Only a few miles away, in the desert around Chatsworth, lives a different kind of dreamer. Charles Manson is an ex-con who has spellbound a group of hippie misfits living with him in squalor on an old "movie ranch." Little do his young followers know to what degree Charlie himself is an industry striver, more desperate for Columbia Records and Tapes's attentions than for the revolution he preaches. These indelible characters - and many more: an acting child prodigy beaming with hope; a booze-drenched former A-lister who's lost it all - occupy a vanished world from not so long ago that is brought to brilliant life in these pages. Here is 1969, the music, the cars, the movies and TV shows. And here is Hollywood, both the fairy tale and the real thing, as given to us by a master storyteller who knows it like the back of his hand. FEATURING NEW PHOTOS AND BONUS MATERIAL: - Two color inserts featuring never-before-seen photos from the set and posters and other memorabilia from Rick Dalton's career - An original, exclusive script for a Bounty Law episode by Quentin Tarantino titled "Incident at Inez" - A Mad Magazine parody of Bounty Law titled "Lousy Law: Loser's Last Ride"

For the first time ever in print, the legendary screenplay of the iconic film KILL BILL, with markedly different scenes than the movie, an introduction by a film scholar, and a foreword written by Quentin Tarantino. In this epic, novel-esque sceenplay that was split into two films by the studio, a woman known only as The Bride awakens from a four-year coma. The child she carried in her womb is gone. Now, she must wreak vengeance on the team of assassins who betrayed her-a team she was once part of. With new cover art envisioned by Tarantino himself, KILL BILL, along with Django Unchained, and Pulp Fiction, will be designed to look great as a stand-alone, but also to coordinate as a complete collector's set for the Tarantino fan.

The never-before-seen, handwritten first draft of the Academy Award-winning screenplay for PULP FICTION with different sequences from the film, an introduction by a film scholar and a brand new foreword by Quentin Tarantino. Not many people know that Tarantino handwrites the first draft of his screenplays in his distinctive scrawl (see the title and chapter cards in Inglorious Basterds). He recently unearthed the first draft of this, his most iconic screenplay, and decided to publish it to show fans where it all began. PULP FICTION follows the intertwining lives of two mob hitmen, a boxer, a gangster's wife, and a pair of bandits in four tales of violence and redemption. With new cover art envisioned by Tarantino, PULP FICTION, along with Kill Bill, and Django Unchained, will be designed to look great as a stand-alone, but also to coordinate as a complete collector's set for the Tarantino fan.

For the first time in print, the Academy Award-winning screenplay of the blockbuster film DJANGO UNCHAINED, with scenes that didn't make the final cut, an introduction by a film scholar, and a foreword written by Quentin Tarantino. In Tarantino's most recent film, a freed slave sets out to rescue his wife from a brutal Mississippi plantation owner with the help of a German bounty hunter-a role that won Christoph Waltz an Academy Award. With new cover art envisioned by Tarantino himself, DJANGO UNCHAINED, along with Kill Bill and Pulp Fiction, will be designed to look great as a stand-alone, but also to coordinate as a complete collector's set for the Tarantino fan.

From the most original and beloved screenwriter of his generation, the complete Oscar-nominated screenplay of Quentin Tarantino's World War II epic Inglorious Basterds. From the brilliant writer/director behind the iconic films Pulp Fiction, Kill Bill, and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, comes Tarantino's most ambitious movie: a World War II epic starring Brad Pitt and filmed on location in Germany and France. The action tale follows the parallel story of a guerrilla-like squad of American soldiers called "The Basterds" and the French Jewish teenage girl Shosanna who find themselves behind enemy Nazi lines during the German occupation. When the Inglourious Basterds encounter Shosanna at a propaganda screening at the movie house she runs, they conspire to launch an unexpected plot to end the war. Pitt plays Lieutenant Aldo Raine -- the leader of the Basterds. Raine is an illiterate hillbilly from the mountains of Tennessee who puts together a team of eight Jewish-American soldiers to hunt down the Nazis. Filled with Tarantino's trademark electric dialogue and thrilling action sequences, Inglourious Basterds is one of the most celebrated films of the twenty-first century.

Coinciding with the launch of Rush Hour 3, the only book on the Rush Hour movies—a full-color companion for fans, with more than 250 photos and excerpts from the outrageously comic action-packed scripts. "I'm Detective Carter. Do you speak-a any English? Do-you-understand-the- words-that-are-coming- out-of-my-mouth?" And so a legendary partnership is born. One's all talk, the other's all action. Streetwise L.A. detective James Carter (Chris Tucker) and Hong Kong supercop Chief Inspector Lee (Jackie Chan) mix punches with punchlines in the hilarious action-comedy trilogy Rush Hour. From the streets of Los Angeles (Rush Hour) to Hong Kong and Las Vegas (Rush Hour 2) and Paris high atop the Eiffel Tower (Rush Hour 3), these unlikely partners take down criminals around the globe, and let the wisecracks fly: "You are a civilian. In Hong Kong, I am Michael Jackson and you are Toto." "You think they scare me? I'm from Los Angeles. We invented gangs!" "Just follow my lead, act like a tourist." "I am a tourist, fool!" Rush Hour: Lights, Camera, Action! includes an introduction by Brett Ratner (who directed all three movies), a foreword by major fan Quentin Tarantino, movie stills, storyboards, behind-the-scenes material, excerpts from the three scripts, and film reviews. 250 color photos.
