The filmmaker, director, screenwriter, producer, film critic and actor will launch his project, dubbed Tarantino NFTs, on January 10, and the drop will feature unique digital assets from the original handwritten script of the cult 1994 film.

The script was created in collaboration with SCRT Labs, divided into several iconic scenes and accompanied by a vocal recording where Tarantino comments on the importance of the work.

“I wrote the entire Pulp Fiction script with my own hand, from the first page to the last page” Tarantino said in an interview posted to YouTube on December 29. “It’s sort of sitting in a filing cabinet in my office on a filing cabinet, and the only other person who ever saw it was the typist in 1993.”

The collection’s prestigious and culturally historic pages also feature doodles, notes, and scenes that never made it to the film’s final cut.

Following Tarantino’s announcement of the project, Miramax, the film studio that produced the 1994 classic and still owns its intellectual property rights, filed a lawsuit against the director.

“Tarantino’s conduct has compelled Miramax to bring this legal action against a valued employee in order to enforce, preserve and protect their contractual and intellectual property rights relating to one of Miramax’s most iconic and valuable cinematic properties. “ the company wrote.

Tarantino intends to move forward with the NFT sale, however, although Miramax maintains that it “Owns the rights to develop, market and sell NFTs related to its in-depth movie library.” “

Tarantino’s lawyers have since contested this on the grounds that the intellectual property laws in the Metaverse and NFTs, in particular, are still unclear.
