Is Quentin Tarantino considering retraining? It must be said that in recent days, the famous director has not ceased to baffle us! After surprising us by writing long film reviews on the website of his cinema in Los Angeles, Quentin Tarantino said in an interview that his new status as a family man encouraged him to abandon the camera in favor of literature. It is for this reason that the director of Pulp Fiction arrives with a new literary project as surprising as it is exciting! Indeed, invited to the Pure Cinema Podcast, the filmmaker, who should end his career after his tenth film, said that he would like to adapt in the form of a novel his ninth film (and huge success in the cinema), Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.
"The idea only came to me recently. But now I think about it a lot. I might adapt Once Upon a Time in Hollywood into a novel."

If the project comes to fruition, it would be an opportunity to discover a new version, probably even more detailed, of this eight-time Oscar-nominated film. An operation that would also prove very lucrative for the emeritus filmmaker.In any case, we can't wait to find the famous duo Rick Dalton – Cliff Booth in paper version. As Indiewire recalled, Quentin Tarantino 's literary aspirations are not recent. Indeed, in an interview dating from last September, the director confided to begin the writing of his first book. It is a war drama set against the backdrop of post-war cinema.
"I have this character in mind who fought in World War II, who saw a lot of bloodshed. It takes place after the war, in the 1950s. And he no longer has any reaction when he watches movies. He finds them childish after everything he's been through. For him, Hollywood productions are mere films. And then, suddenly, he hears about these foreign films directed by Kurosawa and Fellini. He's like, 'Well, maybe they have something more than these Hollywood movies that sound fake.'"he revealed.
Currently, it is impossible for us to know if this project in question is still relevant, now that the filmmaker wants to embark on a literary adaptation of his latest film to immense success. While waiting to read the eponymous novel, (re)discover the trailer of the film Once Upon a Time in Hollywood :
