“Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” follows the story of an actor (DiCaprio) and his stunt double (Pitt) as they try to make it in Hollywood around the time of the famed Charles Manson Family murders per Variety.
“I’ve been working on this script for five years, as well as living in Los Angeles County most of my life, including in 1969, when I was seven years old,” Tarantino said on The Hollywood Reporter.com. “I’m very excited to tell this story of an L.A. and a Hollywood that don’t exist anymore. And I couldn’t be happier about the dynamic teaming of DiCaprio and Pitt as Rick and Cliff.”
The film also stars Margot Robbie as Sharon Tate. Robbie will be reuniting with DiCaprio after previously appearing in 2013’s The Wold of Wall Street.
Rounding out the all-star cast is the late Luke Perry, Al Pacino, Damian Lewis from Showtime’s Billions, Dakota Fanning, Emile Hirsch, Tim Roth, Timothy Olyphant, Kurt Russell and Bruce Dern.
The late Burt Reynolds was set to portray the rancher where Manson and his followers lived, but was replaced by Dern following his death last September.
