Leonardo DiCaprio has shared the following first ever look at him and costar Brad Pitt in Quentin Tarantino‘s now-filming Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.
Tarantino’s ninth feature film is a story that takes place in Los Angeles in 1969, at the height of hippy Hollywood. The two lead characters are Rick Dalton (DiCaprio), 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.
The full cast includes Margot Robbie stars as Sharon Tate, Damian Lewis as Steve McQueen, Al Pacino as Dalton’s agent Marvin Shwarz, Dakota Fanning as Carles Manson follower Lynette “Squeaky” Fromme, Emile Hirsch as Tate’s friend Jay Sebring, and the list goes on.
Also starring: Kurt Russell, Michael Madsen, Tim Roth, James Marsden, Clifton Collins Jr., Timothy Olyphant, Scoot McNairy, Burt Reynolds, Luke Perry, Zoë Bell, Keith Jefferson, Nicholas Hammond, and Julia Butters.
Sony Pictures stepped up to acquire the film and it is set for August 9, 2019 release worldwide.
