Quentin Tarantino Will Reportedly Release an Extended Cut of ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD on Netflix
It sounds like Quentin Tarantino has plans to release an extended cut of his latest film, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood on Netflix. He recently surprised fans with a four hour cut of The Hateful Eight on Netflix and split it into four separate chapters.
News of this comes from Kyle Buchanan of The New York Times, who posted the following on Twitter:
I keep hearing Tarantino told the ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD actors that he’ll put their deleted scenes back when he recuts the film into episodes for Netflix, akin to what he recently did with HATEFUL EIGHT

We don’t know how long this extended cut will be, the theatrical cut of the film is already almost 3-hours long. I imagine he’s at least got an hour of extra footage to edit back into the film. Actor Nicholas Hammond, who plays a role in the film, previously mentioned in an interview that “there is talk about there being a 4-hour Netflix version, as well, because there were a lot of scenes he shot that couldn’t make it into the film because there just simply wasn’t room.”
I loved Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and I’m totally up for watching an extended cut of the film! I’d love to see what else Tarantino shot for the movie. There’s no word on what those extra scenes will entail, but James Marsden and Tim Roth were both cast in roles for the film but their scenes never made it in the theatrical cut. So I’m sure we’ll get to see them in action along with several of the other actors.
The movie also stars Al Pacino, Kurt Russell, Dakota Fanning, Michael Madsen, Bruce Dern, Timothy Olyphant, Damian Lewis, Lena Dunham, Emile Hirsch, Luke Perry, Scoot McNairy, and James Remar.
Are you happy that we are getting an extended cut of Once Upon a Time in Hollywood on Netflix?
