Quentin Tarantino's Once Upon a Time in Hollywood

The Lion King is out the week before but OUATIH is skewing for a different demographic so it could be fine.

After all, The Hateful Eight came out a week after The Force Awakens and that managed to do okay. This will do even better since it has more star power in Leo, Brad and Margot.

Hateful Eight probably suffered a little being released so close to Star Wars. it didn't made near as much as Django Unchained, for example. And Tarantino himself wasn't too happy about the situation:
Quentin Tarantino Accuses Disney of ‘Extortion’ Over ‘Star Wars’ Booking
 
It's great to see Leo back on the bigscreen. It's been Ages.

But am I right in hearing that Dylan McKay has been cast in this? Unbelievable. He should be thanking his agent with a trip to Maui.
 
To be fair, The Hateful Eight most certainly wouldn’t have made as much as Django Unchained even if Star Wars wasn’t a factor.
 
Margot Robbie: The New Queen Of Hollywood

She’s currently working on Quentin Tarantino’s highly anticipated Once Upon a Time in Hollywood – set for release in July 2019 – in which she plays Sharon Tate (the wife of Roman Polanski who was murdered by the Manson Family), and which also stars Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt. Not bad. “Yeah but I’m barely on set with them,” she says, giving less away than I’d hoped. Of Tarantino, she can’t say enough. “That’s a life goal,” she says. “When I first sat down with my team in America and they asked me what I wanted out of my career, I said: ‘Pie in the sky? Tarantino.’ Everyone asks me: ‘How is it? How is he on set?’ I’ve been on sets for pretty much the last 10 years and I still walk on and think, ‘This is soooooooo coooool! Look at that! That’s amazing! Oh my gosh!’ I’m like a kid in a candy shop and then Tarantino walks on and he’s got the same, if not more, enthusiasm and he’s so excited. It’s his film set and he’s not jaded at all – he’s just so happy to be there.”

One of the first things she asked the Pulp Fiction and Kill Bill director was if she should be wearing fake bosoms. “I’m very flat-chested,” she says, pointing downwards, “and Sharon Tate was not. So I asked [Tarantino]: ‘Any fake-boob situation?’ and he said, ‘No, it does not change the character.’” Did she contact Polanski to speak about his wife? “No, I didn’t, but he wrote a book and there’s so much detail in there that I actually didn’t need to.”
 
From Spanish newspaper ABC :-

Kurt Russell revealed his role in OUATIH: “I play a stunt double coordinator, who used to be a stunt double, but that now is the boss.” And in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Zoë Bell revealed hers: “I play the stunt coordinator’s wife.”
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Bell also discussed how Tarantino had hired her to oversee the stunts on OUATIH, making her the first solo female stunt coordinator on a major feature. When he came to her with the idea, she was planning to take a year off to dedicate herself to AFI's Directing Workshop for Women: "Ultimately, I thought [OUATIH] is family. It’s Quentin. Also, women don’t often step into this role.”
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Kurt Russell continued to touch on other aspects of the film: “Tarantino loves the Hollywood industry, and that can be seen in this movie. He’s in his game here, in his style." Russell also acknowledged similarities between his role as a stunt coordinator and one of his previous characters: “The whole Tarantino universe is connected. In Death Proof I played Stuntman Mike, who also was a stunt double… so my character in this film probably knew him!” Regarding the ending of OUATIH: “What happens at the end of the movie is genius. It even surprised me, and I know [Tarantino]."

“How’d you get to be a stunt coordinator?”

“It’s all in the reflexes.”
 
I need a Trailer!
Do you think we‘ll get one Döring Super Bowl. Super Bowl Trailers are usually for event movies...but besides being a period drama a Tarrantino-Movie also is an event movie.
 
Tim Roth: ‘As messy as your life can be, there has to be a window you can escape through'

Roth does not expect to live in the UK again, but it’s clear the contours of his working-class childhood still shape his career choices. He plays rich a$$holes sparingly. Even his Oscar-nominated turn as the aristo-rapist Archibald Cunningham in Rob Roy operated as a vehicle to illuminate injustice. He says Tarantino gets a kick from writing “fake posh” roles for him, because he can sense his antagonistic relationship to class, a clue perhaps to the kind of character he may play in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.
 
Not the kind of film to get Superbowl spot, I guess that would eat their entire marketing budget
 
We could get one over the next couple months here. I recall Basterds got a trailer in February that year.
 
1960s Hollywood through the eyes of a fictional movie star and his stunt double played by Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt (don’t remember which is which).

Also incorporates real people including Margot Robbie as Sharon Tate and real events like the Manson Murders.
 
The new Vanity Fair issue has some first look photos inside. (Out January 29th)
Hopefully a trailer won’t be far behind.

That's some good make-up right there. Leo and Pitt look young as hell.
 
Margot Robbie is stunning.
 
I know more or less what this movie is about but haven't been following it with much attention. I'm aware of the great cast and i'm a fan of Quentin Tarantino's movies and how singular they are. He's definitely one of the greats in this generation of cinema.

I appreciated his last movie, The Hateful Eight, even though it was a small burn type of movie and definitely not for everyone's taste. I found the atmosphere of the movie one of it's biggest assets and how it gradually developed even though i kind of agree with a review i saw somewhere that stated the movie turned into a QT fest in the last part. But yeh, the atmosphere of the cabin, the confined space filled with interesting characters, QT's dialog and how he extracts those wildly engaging performances... All good stuff.

I'll check this movie out for sure. The imagery look promising and he always delivers something special and unique.
 
I still haven't seen TH8, but I'm so excited for this. I think this era is going to go so well with QT's style. And people saying it's PF-esque... Man.
 
My most anticipated film easily. The images look really promising and I’m rather pysched to see Margot Robbie and Leonardo DiCaprio reunite for this film under the direction of Quentin Tarrintino.
