  "account": "Quentin Tarantino has shifted away from directing recently, yet he remains active as a prolific author. His upcoming spinoff from \"Once Upon a Time ... in Hollywood\" will be accompanied by his novelization of the new film, titled \"The Adventures of Cliff Booth.\" Set to release on December 8, this marks Tarantino's second novelization, taking readers through \"The Further Mis-Adventures of Cliff Booth,\" where Brad Pitt reprises his role as the former Hollywood stuntman. The book, published under HarperCollins' Harper imprint, is described by Harper as capturing Tarantino's unique creative vision for the story in novel form. Tarantino expressed excitement in a statement released by Harper, eagerly anticipating audiences to experience and read Cliff Booth's further adventures. Known for landmark films like \"Pulp Fiction,\" \"Inglourious Basterds,\" and \"Reservoir Dogs,\" Tarantino hasn't directed a feature film since \"Once Upon a Time ... in Hollywood\" in 2019. However, he has penned the two novelizations and a film criticism-autobiography, \"Cinema Speculation.\"",
