Brad Pitt: Quentin Tarantino may release Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood as a streaming miniseries

Indiewire

In April, Netflix released a four-episode extended TV miniseries version of Tarantino's 2015 film The Hateful Eight. Pitt tells New York Times' Kyle Buchanan that Tarantino is considering doing something similar with Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood, though it's not clear if Netflix will get another Tarantino miniseries. The 1969-set film originally had a running time of 4 hours and 20 minutes. The theatrical version came in at 2 hours and 40 minutes, leaving many scenes on the cutting-room floor. Scenes featuring Danny Strong as Dean Martin, James Marsden as Burt Reynolds and Tim Roth as celebrity hairstylist Jay Sebring’s butler didn't make the final cut. Tarantino also re-created Sebring's hair salon at its former location, but that also didn't make the film. "Yeah, he's talked about it," Pitt says of a potential miniseries. “It’s a pretty arousing idea."
