Burt Reynolds Didn't Shoot His Scenes For Quentin Tarantino's ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD
The death of The Bandit Burt Reynolds came as a shock to everyone this week. This is going to be a hard pill for all of his fans to swallow. It was a sad day for us all, and fans wondered if the actor had already shot his scenes for Quentin Tarantino's Once Upon A Time In Hollywood.
Reynolds was set to take on the role of George Spahn in the film and according to Variety, he wasn’t expected to film his part until the end of September. He would have starred alongside Leonardo DiCaprio, Brad Pitt, Margot Robbie, and Al Pacino.
Reynolds’ niece Nancy Lee Hess said that her uncle "was looking forward to working with Quentin Tarantino, and the amazing cast that was assembled." It's sad to know that he won't be a part of it.
Tarantino’s movie is set during the summer of the infamous Manson murders and follows a TV actor and his stunt double, who embark on an odyssey to make a name for themselves in the film industry during the Helter Skelter reign of terror in 1969 Los Angeles. Reynolds was set to play George Spahn, an 80-year-old blind man who rented his Los Angeles ranch out to be used as a movie set for Westerns. Charles Manson convinced Spahn to allow him and his followers to live on the ranch in the months before they murdered Tate and six others
For all of that grew up watching Reynolds, this has been a hard time. I am thankful for parents that allowed me to watch Smokey and the Bandit a lot earlier than they should have.
Who do you think would be a good replacement for Reynolds in the movie?
