Extremely Rare Production Movie Script of Tarantino's Pulp Fiction, One of the Most Important Films of the 20th Century

Quentin Tarantino. PULP FICTION original script. May 1993. Quarto. Brad bound, self-wrappers. Final draft of Tarantino’s celebrated cult-classic. With pink, blue, and green revision pages and occasional holograph notations in black ink. This script includes several original sequences that did not appear in the completed film.

Pulp Fiction was Tarantino’s first great success. Starring John Travolta, Samuel L. Jackson, Bruce Willis, Tim Roth, Ving Rhames, and Uma Thurman. Originally rejected as “too demented” by production studios, the screenplay has since been celebrated for its innovative narrative structure, memorable characterizations, and (truncated) clever dialogue. The use of eclectic dialogue to reveal the character's perspectives and an ironic combination of humor and strong violence were groundbreaking. At the time of release, Pulp Fiction was also considered groundbreaking for its racial diversity. Samuel L. Jackson’s character, the hitman Jules Winnfield, is given just as much narrative weight as his partner Vincent Vega, played by John Travolta. Travolta’s performance is also considered a “comeback” role that revitalized his career. Pulp Fiction won the Palme d'Or at Cannes and was nominated for seven Academy Awards, including nominations for Travolta, Jackson, and Thurman and Best Picture. It won Best Original Screenplay. Tarantino‘s scripts are especially hard to find, and Pulp Fiction is widely regarded as Tarantino's masterpiece. Script presumably belonged to a crew member, with aforementioned pink, blue, and green revision pages and occasional holograph notations in black ink. Wrappers in near-fine condition. Pulp Fiction was named one of Time's All-Time 100 Movies and to the American Film Institute’s 100 Years...100 Movies. In 2013, Pulp Fiction was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress. A remarkable piece of cinematic history. (Inventory #: 16294)
