The film — Tarantino’s ninth feature — is set in the early 1970s, and sees Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt playing television star Rick Dalton and his longtime stunt double Cliff Booth, respectively, while Margot Robbie stars as the late actress Sharon Tate.
Helmed, produced and written by Tarantino, the director himself describes the tale as “a story that takes place in Los Angeles in 1969, at the height of hippy Hollywood” and reveals that he worked on the script “for five years,” as per The Hollywood Reporter.
“Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” has star power to boot, and features an impressive cast in addition to DiCaprio, Pitt and Robbie; including Al Pacino, Damian Lewis, Dakota Fanning, Emile Hirsch, Timothy Olyphant, Kurt Russell, Bruce Dern and the late Luke Perry, among others.
