Set in 1969 Los Angeles, the feature centers on TV star Rick Dalton’s (Leonardo DiCaprio) attempts to keep his career flourishing amidst the changing landscape of the entertainment industry. Brad Pitt co-stars in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood as his loyal stunt double Cliff Booth and Margot Robbie plays late actress Sharon Tate.
“I think it’s a very entertaining movie,” said Tarantino. “If people like my movies, one of the things that they might like about them is the fact that I make movies for an audience. I make movies that indulge in big set pieces that gets an audience reaction. If you come see one of my movies, you’re not just going to see images glazing over you. You’re going to have an interactive audience experience and to me that’s a good night at the movies.”
