If you’ve ever watched a Quentin Tarantino movie and wondered, “How the heck did he make this?,” have we got the book for you.
Insight Editions‘ new book, The Making of Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time…in Hollywood, marks the first time Tarantino has granted access to journalist and author Jay Glennie to write the making of three of his most iconic movies.
“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,” Tarantino says. “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.”
The Making of Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time…in Hollywood features behind-the-scenes photos and exclusive interviews with cast and crew members, including stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Brad Pitt, Margot Robbie; supporting cast including Mikey Madison, Margaret Qualley, Austin Butler, Lena Dunham, Kurt Russell, Dakota Fanning, Emile Hirsch, Damian Lewis, Maya Hawke, and Sydney Sweeney; producer David Heyman; Sony’s Tom Rothman and Sanford Panitch; and many more.
“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.”
The Making of Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time…in Hollywood will be available on October 28, 2025. Two more books are on the way as a part of this book deal, one focusing on Inglourious Basterds, which is already completed and slated to launch next year, and another focusing on Django Unchained, which is currently being written and will launch in 2027. Glennie is also set to write deep-dive books for Tarantino’s six other existing films plus his tenth and final movie, which is yet to be released.
