Once Upon a Time in Hollywood: A Novel is expected to chart the lives of Tarantino’s two protagonists – TV actor Rick Dalton and his stunt double Cliff Booth – both forward and backward in time. It will also feature a more extended look at Rick and Cliff’s time in making Spaghetti Westerns in Italy. The novel will also introduce some characters that weren’t seen in the film including the late Burt Reynolds, Pete Duel, Jim Brown, and Fred Williamson.

Check out the novel trailer below:

The novel’s official synopsis reads:

“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 gotten 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.

HOLLYWOOD 1969 – YOU SHOULDA BEEN THERE”
