SPECIAL COFFEE TABLE MAKING OF BOOKS OF ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD, INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS AND DJANGO UNCHAINED – WITH ALL 10 TARANTINO FILMS PLANNED JAY GLENNIE TO WRITE / TARANTINO TO PEN INTRODUCTIONS FOR EACH BOOK
EXCLUSIVE: For the first time ever, Academy Award–winning filmmaker Quentin Tarantino, has authorized and granted unprecedented access to journalist and author Jay Glennie to write the making of three of his classic films beginning with The Making of Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time…in Hollywood. The comprehensive coffee table book will be released on November 11 by Insight Editions. The Story Factory’s Shane Salerno concluded the three-book deal with Insight and the next two books in the Quentin Tarantino Library will explore Inglorious Basterds (already completed) and Django Unchanged (being written now), and will release in 2026 and 2027. Tarantino will write the introductions for each book. Glennie is set to write large scale, deep-dive books for all ten of Tarantino’s films, the nine he has made and the one that is forthcoming which Tarantino has announced as his last.
“I have Jay Glennie’s books in my collection, and I have read and loved them, in particular on the making of The Deer Hunter. I just know that there is no better guy to take a deep dive into my movies. I couldn’t be more thrilled with such a beautiful, fun, funny, and (at least to me) moving examination of my favorite movie,” Tarantino said.
“Quentin Tarantino is a master storyteller whose impact on cinema is extraordinary,” says Insight Editions CEO, Raoul Goff and Publisher Vanessa Lopez. “This is not just a book for movie lovers; it’s an exploration of what makes Tarantino one of the most influential filmmakers of our time. Publishing this series of books is both a celebration of Tarantino’s career, as well as a deep dive into the artistry behind his films, We’re thrilled to work with Jay to bring these projects to life, offering readers a unique and intimate perspective on each of these iconic films.”
“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,” Glennie told Deadline exclusively.
