Get ready, Tarantino fans – the cinematic universe of Pulp Fiction is officially expanding. Pulp Fiction: Bloodlines (2025) is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated crime thrillers of the year, blending old-school cool with a new generation of killers, detectives, and outlaws.
🎬 A Legacy Reignited
Set nearly three decades after the events of the original, Bloodlines explores the ripple effects of the mysterious briefcase and the choices made by Jules, Vincent, and Marsellus Wallace. The new story introduces their offspring — Zendaya leads the cast as a razor-sharp hitwoman seeking her father’s redemption. Joining her are Austin Butler, Jodie Comer, John Boyega, and Pedro Pascal, making for a dream lineup.
💸 Budget & Trailer Buzz
According to insiders, the production was given a $55 million budget, with $7 million reportedly spent on the high-octane teaser trailer alone — a bold move that’s clearly paying off. The trailer dropped last week and instantly exploded across social media, racking up over 42 million views in 72 hours on YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram combined. Fans are praising its slick cinematography, fast-paced editing, and nostalgic callbacks to Tarantino’s iconic dialogue.
🧨 The Tarantino Touch
Although Quentin Tarantino is not directing, he’s rumored to have served as a creative consultant, giving the film his blessing. The script is penned by up-and-comer Lena Monroe, with stylish direction from Barry Jenkins, bringing a fresh but faithful energy to the beloved universe.
📅 Release Date
Pulp Fiction: Bloodlines is set to hit theaters October 17, 2025, with plans for a limited IMAX release and global rollout. Streaming rights are reportedly in a bidding war, with Netflix and Amazon circling.
