New Releases by Quentin Tarantino

Het langverwachte, eerste non-fictiewerk van de vermaarde cineast: een even onderhoudend als intelligent filmboek, dat net zo eigenzinnig en origineel is als zijn creaties op het witte doek. Naast het feit dat hij een van de meest gevierde eigentijdse filmmakers is, staat Quentin Tarantino bekend als misschien wel de aanstekelijkste liefhebber van het genre. Al sinds jaar en dag verklaart hij bij gelegenheid dat hij zich uiteindelijk wil gaan richten op het schrijven over film. Met Cinema Speculation/ Filmspeculatie is die tijd aangebroken, en het resultaat is precies waar zijn toegewijde fans – en filmliefhebbers in het algemeen – op hopen. Het boek is opgebouwd rond tien Amerikaanse sleutelfilms uit de jaren zeventig, die hij allemaal als jonge filmbezoeker zag. Zijn essays zijn doordacht, bieden tal van nieuwe inzichten en zijn buitengewoon vermakelijk. Filmkritiek, filmtheorie, reportage en een prachtige persoonlijke geschiedenis: dit boek is het allemaal. In deze essays klinkt de unieke stem die we onmiddellijk herkennen als die van Tarantino, en we krijgen invalshoeken gepresenteerd over film die alleen een van de grootste beoefenaars van deze kunstvorm kan geven.

Quentin Tarantino’s long-awaited first work of fiction—at once hilarious, delicious and brutal—is the always surprising, sometimes shocking, novelization of his Academy Award winning film. RICK DALTON—Once he had his own TV series, but now Rick’s a washed-up villain-of-the week drowning his sorrows in whiskey sours. Will a phone call from Rome save his fate or seal it? CLIFF BOOTH—Rick’s stunt double, and the most infamous man on any movie set because he’s the only one there who might have got away with murder. . . . SHARON TATE—She left Texas to chase a movie-star dream, and found it. Sharon’s salad days are now spent on Cielo Drive, high in the Hollywood Hills. CHARLES MANSON—The ex-con’s got a bunch of zonked-out hippies thinking he’s their spiritual leader, but he’d trade it all to be a rock ‘n’ roll star.

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.

Academy Award-winning screenwriter Quentin Tarantino returns with his most infamous, most brilliant, most masterful screenplay yet?Ķ At the end of the Civil War, a stagecoach hurtles through the wintry Wyoming landscape. Bounty hunter John Ruth and his fugitive captive Daisy Domergue race toward the town of Red Rock, where Ruth will bring Domergue to justice. Along the road, they encounter Major Marquis Warren, a former Union soldier turned infamous bounty hunter; and Chris Mannix, a renegade who claims to be the town''s new sheriff. Lost in a blizzard, Ruth, Domergue, Warren, and Mannix seek refuge at Minnie''s Haberdashery, a stagecoach stopover. When they arrive, they are greeted by four unfamiliar faces: Bob, who takes care of Minnie''s in the owner''s absence; Oswaldo Mobray, the hangman of Red Rock; cow-puncher Joe Gage; and Confederate general Sanford Smithers. As the storm overtakes the mountainside, our eight travelers come to learn they may not make it to Red Rock after all ... The Hateful Eight is a Tarantino master class in tension-filled atmosphere, singular characters, and razor-sharp dialogue.

Oscar Award-winning writer/director and Django creator Quentin Tarantino teams with Eisner Award-winning comic book creator Matt Wagner to write the official Django Unchained sequel, uniting the gun-blazing Western hero with the legendary swordsman of literature, film, and comics: Zorro! Set several years after the events of Django Unchained, Django again pursues evil men in his role as a bounty hunter. Taking to the roads of the American Southwest, he encounters the aged and sophisticated Diego de la Vega by sheer chance. Django is fascinated by this unusual character, the first wealthy white man he''s met who seems totally unconcerned with the color of his skin... and who can hold his own in a fight. Django hires on as Diego''s bodyguard, and is soon drawn into a fight to free the local indigenous people from brutal servitude. Learning much from the older man (as he did from King Schultz), he discovers that slavery isn''t exclusive to his people, as he even dons the mask of Zorro in their mission of mercy!

The epic pairing of these legendary heroes reaches its smashing conclusion in an extra-long, nail-biting finale. The action boils over this issue as both Django and Zorro battle to defeat the powerful Archduke of Arizona and shatter his sinister hold over the indigenous Yaqui people. Django finds he can no longer sit still as he sees an entirely different race enslaved under the yoke of a cruel master. And Diego de la Vega must deal with stunning heartache and loss even as he pushes ahead in his never-ending quest for justice. 30 pulse-pounding pages of story and art provide a rousing finish to this spectacular and ground-breaking series-the first official sequel to a film by Quentin Tarantino. Scripted by Eisner-award winner Matt Wagner and featuring art by Esteve Pols and colors by Brennan Wagner.

Following Zorro''s first appearance at the Archduke''s slave-driven, rail construction site, Django begins to piece together clues that lead him to a startling conclusion...and a fond reminiscence. Meanwhile, Diego expresses his doubts as to the Archduke''s claim of territorial endowment. Things come to head when suspicion eventually centers on Django himself, leading to a bloody confrontation and a surprising bit of role reversal. This must-read series is the first official sequel to any of writer/director Quentin Tarantino''s films with the final script provided by Eisner-award winner, Matt Wagne,r and gorgeous western art by Esteve Polls.

Diego is welcomed into the Archduke''s inner circle of wealthy investors but Django soon finds himself exploring behind the scenes with the silent but intrepid Bernardo. The Archduke''s massive railroad project is a being built be the local Yaqui tribes, who are all but enslaved by their master''s tyrannical regime.

In anticipation of the Transcontinental Railroad, Archduke of Arizona G?rko Langdon has enslaved the natives for labor on a state-wide railway, while he waits for the United States to honor his claim as sovereign of the territory, per the Treaty of Hidalgo-Guadalupe. Learning of the archduke''s injustice to the people of Arizona, Don Diego de la Vega enlists the bounty hunter Django as his personal bodyguard as he sets off to undo Langdon''s schemes. All too familiar with the cruelties of slavery, Django is eager to assist Diego on this mission, though it is more political than the gunslinger prefers... even so, there seems to be more to the old fox than his fussy millionaire persona lets on.

Featuring a story by Oscar Award-Winning Writer/Director, and Django creator Quentin Tarantino, and award-winning writer/artist/creator Matt Wagner! The official sequel to Django Unchained in the first-ever comic book sequel ever done of a Tarantino film! Set several years after the events of Django Unchained, Django/Zorro #1 finds Django again pursuing the evil that men do in his role as a bounty hunter. Since there''s a warrant on his head back east, he''s mainly been plying his trade in the western states. After safely settling his wife, Broomhilda, near Chicago, he''s again taken to the road, sending her funds whenever he completes a job. It''s by sheer chance that he encounters the aged and sophisticated Diego de la Vega - the famed Zorro - and soon finds himself fascinated by this unusual character, the first wealthy white man he''s ever met who seems totally unconcerned with the color of Django''s skin... and who can hold his own in a fight. He hires on as Diego''s "bodyguard" for one adventure and is soon drawn into a fight to free the local indigenous people from a brutal servitude, discovering that slavery isn''t exclusive to black folks. In the course of this adventure, he learns much from the older man (much like King Schultz) and, on several occasions, even dons the mask and the whip... of The Fox!

Cover title with the letter "o" in the first word represented by a swastika symbol.

Here, in his own colorful, slangy words, is the true American Dream saga of a self-proclaimed "film geek," with five intense years working in a video store, who became one of the most popular, recognizable, and imitated of all filmmakers. His dazzling, movie-informed work makes Quentin Tarantino''s reputation, from his breakout film, Reservoir Dogs (1992), through Kill Bill: Vol. 1 (2003) and Kill Bill: Vol. 2 (2004), his enchanted homages to Asian action cinema, to his rousing tribute to guys-on-a-mission World War II movie, Inglourious Basterds (2009). For those who prefer a more mature, contemplative cinema, Tarantino provided the tender, very touching Jackie Brown (1997). A masterpiece--Pulp Fiction (1994). A delightful mash of unabashed exploitation and felt social consciousness--his latest opus, Django Unchained (2012). From the beginning, Tarantino (b. 1963)--affable, open, and enthusiastic about sharing his adoration of movies--has been a journalist''s dream. Quentin Tarantino: Interviews, revised and updated with twelve new interviews, is a joy to read cover to cover because its subject has so much interesting and provocative to say about his own movies and about cinema in general, and also about his unusual life. He is frank and revealing about growing up in Los Angeles with a single, half-Cherokee mother, and dropping out of ninth grade to take acting classes. Lost and confused, he still managed a gutsy ambition: young Quentin decided he would be a filmmaker. Tarantino has conceded that Ordell (Samuel L. Jackson), the homicidal African American con man in Jackie Brown, is an autobiographical portrait. "If I hadn''t wanted to make movies, I would have ended up as Ordell," Tarantino has explained. "I wouldn''t have been a postman or worked at the phone company. . . . I would have gone to jail."

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.

Death Proof is the latest masterpiece by Academy Award-winning screenwriter Quentin Tarantino, starring Rose McGowan, Rosario Dawson, Zoe Bell, and Kurt Russell. With its pulse-pounding action, electric dialogue, and hardcore thrills, Death Proof recharges the exploitation film genre and drives it straight into the 21st century. Jungle Julia is the hottest DJ in Austin. Ready for a night out, Jungle Julia and her girls turn heads all over Austin until they settle at Huck''s, the coolest dive in town. There they meet Stuntman Mike, an aging rebel with a badass muscle car, a silver jacket, and a long scar on his face. The girls drink and dance the night away as Mike sits at the bar and watches. But Stuntman Mike is no innocent drifter. He has a secret weapon--and it''s parked outside.

An in-depth look at how this double feature was made includes working and post-production photographs, the screenplay to "Planet Terror," and interviews with the cast and crew of "Death Proof" about such topics as the plot, stunts, wardrobe, vehicles, creatures, and special effects.

"Meet Mickey and Mallory, the most terrifying, relentless and cold-blooded killers imaginable. Rejected by society, these two lost souls embark on a murderous rampage. But as the body count soars, so too does their notoriety, and before long the greedy tabloid press has made them into cult heroes ..." [box cover note].
