The first full trailer for Once Upon A Time In Hollywood has arrived & it’s time to revisit 1969 in Quentin Tarantino’s latest feature film.
The film tells the story of stars Brad Pitt and Leonardo DiCaprio’s respective characters, Cliff Booth and Rick Dalton, as they try and navigate an evolving Los Angeles as the city and its starry inhabitants enter the early 1970s. Tarantino — who serves as the film’s director, producer, and writer — describes it as “a story that takes place in Los Angeles in 1969, at the height of hippy Hollywood.”
The film has been touted for its Sharon Tate/Charles Manson connection & you really don’t get a taste of that until the second half of the trailer. In addition to Dicaprio and Pitt, the film stars Margot Robbie as the late actress Sharon Tate who, in real life, was murdered in August 1969 by followers of Charles Manson. Along with Pitt, DiCaprio and Robbie, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood features an impressive cast including Al Pacino, Damian Lewis, Dakota Fanning, Emile Hirsch, Timothy Olyphant, Kurt Russell, Bruce Dern, and the late Luke Perry, among others.
Tarantino is at the Cannes Film Festival to premiere Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and shared a plea on social media Monday asking Cannes audiences not to spoil the project’s twists and turns. Definitely highly anticipated so I hope they heed his warning.
Once Upon A Time In Hollywood hits screens on July 26
