Quentin Tarantino’s novelization of The Further Mis-Adventures of Cliff Booth, titled The Adventures of Cliff Booth, is set to be released on December 8. This book serves as a companion piece to an upcoming film directed by David Fincher, which is a spinoff of Tarantino’s 2019 movie Once Upon a Time ... in Hollywood. In the new film, Brad Pitt returns as Cliff Booth, a former Hollywood stuntman whose story was first introduced in Tarantino’s previous film. Harper, an imprint of HarperCollins, describes the novel as offering "Tarantino’s own creative vision for this story in novel form." The book provides an expanded look at the character and events that will also be featured in Fincher’s film. This marks the first time Tarantino has written a novelization of one of his own screenplays, though he has previously written a novelized version of Once Upon a Time ... in Hollywood and a film criticism-autobiography titled Cinema Speculation. Tarantino has not directed a feature film since Once Upon a Time ... in Hollywood, which received critical acclaim and was nominated for several awards. His last film, The Hateful Eight, was released in 2015. With The Adventures of Cliff Booth, Tarantino continues to explore the world he created in Once Upon a Time ... in Hollywood, expanding it through both film and literature. In a statement released by Harper, Tarantino expressed excitement for the release, saying, "Can’t wait for audiences to see and read Cliff Booth’s further adventures." The release of both the film and the novel is expected to draw attention from fans of Tarantino’s work, as well as those interested in the evolving story of Cliff Booth, a character who has become a fan favorite.
