Once Upon a Time in Hollywoodhas to be the most anticipated movie of Quentin Tarantino’s entire career. No other film from thePulp Fictiondirector has generated this much buzz, this much attention, this much hype. Part of that hype comes from the huge cast here – more on that in a bit. The movie also kicked-off a bidding war, with some studios going above and beyond to try to woo Tarantino. Warner Bros. reportedly decorated an entire office with furniture and movie posters from 1969, and put ’60s cars in the parking lot. In the end, Tarantino went with Sony.
Then there’s the fact that Tarantino is exploring the Manson Family, which immediately gives some pause. The filmmaker isn’t exactly known for his tastefulness – is he going to exploit Manson’s terrible crimes? Or does he have something else up his sleeve. We’ll have to wait and see. In any case, I’m excited as hell for this. Tarantino has grown more controversial over the years, but he remains a filmmaker I want to pay attention to. I distinctly remember how coldly hisHateful Eightwas received by some when it arrived, with many thinking the film was too brutal, too sadistic. However, here, in 2019, the movie feels almost eerily prescient, as if Tarantino knew exactly where we were headed as a country.
InOnce Upon a Time in Hollywood, several characters interact in Los Angeles across the summer of 1969, with the main focus being on Rick Dalton, a washed-up actor played by Leonardo DiCaprio, and Cliff Booth, Rick’s longtime friend and stuntman, played by Brad Pitt. Here’s a breakdown of some of the people in this huge cast, and who they’re playing:
Once Upon a Time in Hollywoodwas originally set to open August 9 to coincide with the 50th anniversary of the Tate–LaBianca murders, but the date was later changed – which is probably a good move, since keeping it on that date felt a little extra icky. Now the film will openJuly 26, 2019.
