Quentin Tarantino Reveals More About Upcoming Charles Manson-Era Movie
Leonardo DiCaprio and Quentin Tarantino sat in front of audiences in Las Vegas yesterday at CinemaCon and revealed more about the upcoming Once Upon A Time In Hollywood, set in 1969 Hollywood.
“It takes place at the height of the counter-culture explosion, at the height of the hippie revolution and at the height of a new Hollywood,” Quentin said. “During this summer, we will, little by little, street by street, block by block, transform Los Angeles into the psychedelic era of Hollywood in 1969.”
He also called the parring of Leo and Brad Pitt, “the most exciting dynamic duo since Robert Redford and Paul Newman.”
“I’m very excited to work with Brad Pitt in this film and I think (Tarantino) transports us into a different era,” Leo said. “I’m a huge fan of Singing in the Rain, movies about Hollywood and the backstory and how it all works…having read the script already, it’s one of the most amazing screenplays he’s ever written and that’s saying a lot, because he’s done masterwork in film.”
