Will Tarantino Turn Once Upon a Time in Hollywood Into a Netflix Miniseries?

Quentin Tarantino is known for shooting a lot of additional footage and then whittling it all down in the editing process. The director’s upcomingOnce Upon a Time in Hollywoodwas no different. He worked hard to get the movie to premiere at Cannes on time and since then, he has gone back and further toyed with the movie, shaving about two minutes off in the process. Will he go back and do the same thing he did withThe Hateful Eightminiseries for Netflix?

Earlier this year,Quentin Tarantinorevealed that Netflix had asked him about the possibility of turningThe Hateful Eightinto a miniseries with additional footage. The director thought it was a great idea and chopped the movie up into 4-50 minute episodes, with 25 extra minutes of footage not shown in theaters. Tarantino had this to say when asked about doing the same thing withOnce Upon a Time in Hollywood.

“I got a lot of footage I can do that with. I could do a definitely bigger version of this. We’ll see what happens. But I couldn’t be happier with this cut. This is the cut, as far as I’m concerned, and I want to ride this horse until the legs fall off and then after that we’ll see how I feel about it.”

It does seem a bit early to be talking about an expandedNetflixversion ofOnce Upon a Time in Hollywood, but this is Quentin Tarantino we’re talking about here. He has admitted to writing novels when he writes scripts, so there could be a lot more out there. The director has already written five episodes and has three outlines of aBounty LawTV series, which is the fictional Western series Leonardo DiCaprio’s Rick Dalton stars in. The director also has a play written. For a guy talking about retiring, he seems to have a very different idea of it than a normal person.

If that wasn’t enough, Quentin Tarantino is still toying with the idea of taking on theStar Trekfranchise. He has agreed that it will be like “Pulp Fiction in space,” but says there will be a gangster element too. With that being said, the director is unsure if he’ll tackle the project when all is said and done.Star Trekfans seem to be divided about the thought of Tarantino taking it on, but it could be pretty epic and very unique at the same time.

For now, Quentin Tarantino’s main focus is to getOnce Upon a Time in Hollywoodout into theaters. The director is immensely proud of what he and his crew were able to pull off, including one particular scene at the infamous Spahn Ranch, where Manson and his group lived, which Tarantino believes is one of the best scenes he’s ever done in his whole career. Regardless of where it ends up,Once Upon a Time in Hollywoodis shaping up to be a must-see for Tarantino fans. The interview with Quentin Tarantino was originally conducted byDeadline.
