Tarantino’s ‘Once Upon a Time in Hollywood’ Channels the Past With Posters for Faux Movies

Quentin Tarantino is going back to 1969 with his next film, this year’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Set against the backdrop of the infamous Manson Family murders, the film will be released on July 26 by Sony Pictures, and we’ve got two new posters today.

The posters are actually faux artwork for Italian films starring Rick Dalton, the character Leonardo DiCaprio plays in Tarantino’s ninth movie. They’re titled Kill Me Now Ringo, Said The Gringo and Operazione Dyn-o-mite!, and we can’t help but hope that Tarantino went full Grindhouse here and will soon release faux trailers for these nonexistent movies.

UPDATE: You’ll also find additional posters below!

Once Upon a Time in Hollywood stars Brad Pitt, Leonardo DiCaprio and Al Pacino, along with Margot RobbieKurt Russell, Dakota Fanning, James Mardsen, Bruce Dern, Michael Madsen, Tim Roth, Timothy Olyphant, Damian Lewis, Lena Dunham, Emile Hirsch, Luke Perry, Scoot McNairy and James Remar.

The film is a Pulp Fiction-esque tapestry of stories in and around Los Angeles in the summer of 1969, when Charles Manson and his followers massacred Sharon Tate and others.

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 (Robbie).
