What is significant about the time period and setting of the movie?
Quentin Tarantino, the mastermind behind films such as Pulp Fiction and Kill Bill, is currently in the midst of filming his ninth feature film, which has already garnered a lot of excitement for its impressive cast. The movie will star Leonardo DiCaprio, Brad Pitt, and Margot Robbie, and it promises to be a thrilling ride through the Hollywood of the late 1960s.
Set in 1969, the film will follow the story of Rick Dalton (DiCaprio), a fading TV Western star, and his stunt double, Cliff Booth (Pitt), as they navigate the changing landscape of Hollywood. Margot Robbie will play Sharon Tate, the actress who was brutally murdered by the Manson Family. The film will also feature a large ensemble cast, including some familiar faces from Tarantino’s previous films, such as Tim Roth, Michael Madsen, and Bruce Dern.
In an interview with Deadline, Tarantino expressed his excitement about the project and his desire to capture the atmosphere of the era. “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. I’m very excited to tell this story of an L.A. and a Hollywood that don’t exist anymore,” he explained.
The film has been described as a “nostalgic ode to the end of Hollywood’s Golden Age,” and Tarantino has promised that it will be both “funny and horrific” in equal measure. Fans of the director can expect his trademark blend of humor, violence, and pop culture references, but there is also the promise of a more mature and thoughtful approach to the subject matter.
The project has generated a lot of buzz since it was announced, and Tarantino is certainly not taking the expectations lightly. He has stated that this will be his penultimate film, and he wants to go out with a bang. “I’ve spent my entire adult life in this industry, and I’m ready to move on to something else,” he said. “But I want to go out with a spectacular last piece of work, and I think this movie has the potential to be that.”
The film is scheduled for release in July 2019, and fans will no doubt be eagerly anticipating its arrival. With such an impressive cast and a director who knows how to create cinematic magic, this could very well be one of the standout films of the year.
