Timothy Olyphant is in Talks To Join Quentin Tarantino's ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD
Timothy Olyphant (Deadwood, Santa Clarita Diet, Justified) is currently in negotiations to take a lead role in Quentin Tarantino's new film, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.
I enjoy Olyphant's work and he'll make a great addition to the cast. There's no word on who exactly he'll be playing in the movie, but it's not hard to imagine him in the role of Charles Manson. This will be the first time that Olyphant and Tarantino have worked together.
He will join Leonardo DiCaprio, Brad Pitt, Margot Robbie, Burt Reynolds, Tim Roth, Kurt Russell and Michael Madsen in the film, which has been described as a Pulp Fiction-like film that centers on characters around Los Angeles in the summer of 1969. The Manson Family murders serve as a backdrop to the story, which follows the two lead characters Rick Dalton (DiCaprio), a former star of a western TV series, and his longtime stunt double Cliff Booth (Pitt). "Both are struggling to make it in a Hollywood they don’t recognize anymore. But Rick has a very famous next-door neighbor…Sharon Tate."
Once Upon a Time in Hollywood will be released on August 9th, 2019.
