Pulp Fiction has so many memorable scenes, doesn’t it? From “I love you Honey Bunny”, to John Travolta and Uma Thurman’s dance, to the Royale with Cheese chat, so much of the 1994 movie is iconic. Well, now it turns out that there are some potentially classic scenes that have never been seen, and you can own them for the right price! 

Director Quentin Tarantino is auctioning off seven as-yet-unseen Pulp Fiction scenes and, as is the way with many artists these days, will be doing so in the form of non-fungible tokens (NFTs).

The scenes will be auctioned off as Secret NFTs on peer-to-peer marketplace Opensea. Once successful, the bidders will have the choice of either publicly displaying possession of the token or keeping it hidden.

And it’s not just scenes that are available, as uncut handwritten scripts of Pulp Fiction, and exclusive custom commentary from the director himself are also up for auction.

In a statement, the 58-year-old filmmaker, who has also directed other classics such as Reservoir Dogs and Kill Bill, said: “I'm excited to be presenting these exclusive scenes from Pulp Fiction to fans. Secret Network and Secret NFTs provide a whole new world of connecting fans and artists and I'm thrilled to be a part of that.”

As well as starring John Travolta and Uma Thurman, Pulp Fiction also featured amazing performances from Bruce Willis and Samuel L. Jackson. It won the Palme d’Or with its tale of the LA underworld, played out through a fractured timeline and a typically cool soundtrack.

Meanwhile, Tarantino has hinted that there might be a third Kill Bill film at some point in the future. As reported by Variety, when he was asked about it at the Rome Film Festival, he said, “Why not?”.

The director had previously said (via NME) that if he does make a third film, he wants Stranger Things star Maya Hawke to be in it as the daughter of The Bride, who was, of course, played by Maya’s real-life mum in Kill Bill 1 and 2.
