Once Upon A Time in Hollywood Teaser Trailer Drops


It’s just after 1pm here in the U.K. (6am Pacific Daylight) on Wednesday, March 20th and the official trailer for Quentin Tarantino’s highly anticipated ninth movie is finally here! The movie starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt (in their first movie together since 2015’s The Audition) is due to be released on July 26th, 2019.

First off, the cast… I mean… wow! Centre stage we have the aforementioned titans of cinema, DiCaprio and Pitt who portray fictional would-be Hollywood screen actor Rick Dalton and his stunt double Cliff Booth (respectively), supported by the fantastic Margot Robbie portraying actress Sharon Tate, the wife of director Roman Polanski and murder victim of the infamous Manson family. The supporting cast is abundant in big names, featuring Al Pacino, Dakota Fanning, Timothy Olyphant, the late Luke Perry, Emile Hirsch, Bruce Dern, Damien Lewis, James Marsden Martin Kove, Omar Doom and many more familiar faces as well as returning Tarantino favourites Michael Madsen, Tim Roth and Kurt Russell.

Quentin Tarantino’s new probable masterpiece, set in 1969 California, was built on a budget of around $95m and will feature a non-linear collection of stories surrounding two fictional actors trying to make a name for themselves in Hollywood, blended in with a few tales following the careers of Roman Polanski, Sharon Tate, Bruce Lee and, of course, the Manson family.

The new trailer features little in the way of details but definitely shows off the tone of the movie as an aesthetically accurate period piece with a classic Tarantino edge. Audiences can expect the usual melting pot of exquisite dialogue, classic drama and dark comedy as well as a little over-the-top violence and hopefully an interesting juxtaposing soundtrack to compliment. The movie is expected to make pull down around $250m in domestic box office takings and may be a strong contender at the 2020 Academy Awards.
