But there seems to be a growing overlap between the end of one phase and the beginning of the other. After his novel by once upon a time in hollywood last year, his next project is now officially another book. Nonfiction this time it’s called cinematic speculation and discusses the films of the 1970s that indelibly influenced his later career.
The official synopsis of its publisher HarperCollins reads:
“Besides being one of the most celebrated contemporary directors, Quentin Tarantino is arguably the most happily contagious living spectator. For years he has been touting in interviews his eventual turn to write books about movies. Now, with “Cinema Speculation”, the time has come. “, And the results are everything his avid fans (and all viewers) could have hoped for. Curated around key American films of the 1970s, which he saw for the first time as a young viewer of the time. So far, this book is as intellectually rigorous and insightful as it is lighthearted and entertaining. Part film critic, part film theory, part reportage, and part wonderful personal story, it’s all written with a singular voice immediately recognizable as QT and with the rare perspective on cinema made possible only by one of the greatest practitioners of this art form.
The cover, while it may not be the final design, shows Steve McQueen and Sam Peckinpah on the set of the twisted 1972 action thriller. The escape.
cinematic speculation It’s the second half of the two-book deal Tarantino signed with HarperCollins in 2020, so, done and dusted off, he could go back to his own director and his tenth (and possibly final) film. During, cinematic speculation It will be released on October 25 this year.
