Last night, Quentin Tarantino won the Best Screenplay award at the Golden Globes for his latest film ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD, which also won "Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy". (And landed Brad Pitt a Best Supporting Actor award.) But even though the film is likely to get a Best Original Screenplay nomination at the Oscars as well, the script for ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD still isn't available online. That's kind of odd, since most screenplays that have been presented for the Academy's consideration are released online in PDF form. Plus Tarantino's scripts have a history of leaking online before the movies are even released (a fact that nearly made him cancel the production of THE HATEFUL EIGHT).
While we wait to get our hands on a copy of the ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD script, we thought fans might like to know where they can find nearly every other Tarantino screenplay in one location.
That location is IndieFilmHustle.com, which has the screenplays for all eight of Tarantino's previous feature directorial efforts: RESERVOIR DOGS, PULP FICTION, JACKIE BROWN, KILL BILL (Volumes 1 and 2), GRINDHOUSE: DEATH PROOF, INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS, DJANGO UNCHAINED, and THE HATEFUL EIGHT.
Also on there are an early script for NATURAL BORN KILLERS, before the Oliver Stone rewrites; a TRUE ROMANCE script that does have the revised ending written by PULP FICTION's Roger Avary; the script for the anthology film FOUR ROOMS, which Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez both contributed to; and the script for the Tarantino / Rodriguez collaboration FROM DUSK TILL DAWN.
Others that aren't available on there are those you probably wouldn't expect to find anyway, like his uncredited rewrites on PAST MIDNIGHT and CRIMSON TIDE. The script for MY BEST FRIEND'S BIRTHDAY, Tarantino's abandoned first project, is an unexpected oversight, but it's out there as well.
Tarantino screenplays are always a fascinating read, so head over to IndeFilmHustle and start perusing.
Now where the hell is that ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD script?
