But I did so much research.”
But he additionally revealed that the ebook will focus closely on Pitt’s character, stuntman Cliff Booth, together with delving into how Cliff might have gotten away with the homicide of his spouse.
“In the movie, Cliff is a real enigma, you’re kind of like, what’s this guy’s deal?” Tarantino mentioned. “And one of the things in the book is, there’s these isolated chapters that tell you, like, this whole chapter will be about Cliff’s past. It goes back in time to tell you about Cliff at this point in time. And then you go further on with the normal run of the story and there’s another chapter that goes back in time and tells you about Cliff’s past. And every isolated chapter that’s just about Cliff’s past is like a weird little pulp novel unto itself starring Cliff.”
