“Hollywood. 1969,” DiCaprio writes in the tweet debuting the very firstOnce Upon a Time in Hollywoodposter. The poster is reminiscent of thefirst behind-the-scenes lookwe got of DiCaprio and Pitt in character as film’s leads, Rick Dalton and Cliff Booth, respectively: the former a washed-up actor who fumbled his transition from TV to film, the latter Dalton’s best friend and stunt double. Once again, they’re leaning and staring off into this distance, but this time they’re leaning in front of the iconic Hollywood sign! However, this poster has the added uncanny effect of looking overly Photoshopped, like DiCaprio and Pitt weren’t even in the same room to shoot it — which is a shame because that first image looked so cool.
Our first look at DiCaprio and Pitt’s characters drew comparisons to Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, but as Lindsey Romainwrote for /Film:
[T[heir described relationship more closely recalls that of actor Burt Reynolds and his stunt double Hal Needham. That pair collaborated on films likeSmokey and the Bandit, Hooper,andCannonball Run, and were close friends; Needham even lived in Reynolds' guest house for 12 years. Like Dalton, star of the fictional Western TV showBounty Law, Reynolds starred in his own hit Western series in the 1960s:Gunsmoke.
The poster comes as Sony prepares to release the first trailer forOnce Upon a Time in Hollywood, which should hit sometime this week.
