First Look at Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt in Quentin Tarantino's ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD
Leonardo DiCaprio has shared a photo from the set of Quentin Tarantino's Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. It offers up our first look at the actor as Rick Dalton as well as Brad Pitt in the role of Cliff Booth, who are two of main characters in the film. Ya gotta love that late sixties style!
Tarantino's new film 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, who will be played by Margot Robbie.
The movie has an incredible ensemble cast which also includes Burt Reynolds, Timothy Olyphant, Michael Madsen and Tim Roth. Some of the supporting cast members include Luke Perry, Damian Lewis, Emile Hirsch, Dakota Fanning, Clifton Collins Jr., Keith Jefferson, James Marsden, Julia Butters, Nicholas Hammond, and Al Pacino.
Lewis is taking on the role of Steve McQueen; Fanning is set as Squeaky Fromme, the Manson follower who later tried to assassinate President Gerald Ford; Hammond will play director Sam Wanamaker; and Hirsch is playing Jay Sebring, the Hollywood hairstylist who was one of four victims in the Tate murders. As for Perry, he will play Scotty Lancer, Collins will play Ernesto The Mexican Vaquero, Keith Jefferson is Land Pirate Keith, and Pacino is playing Marvin Schwarz, who will be DiCaprio’s character’s agent in the story. There's no information on who Marsden or Butters will be playing.
Once Upon a Time in Hollywood will be released on August 9th, 2019.
