Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood Beefs Up Cast

Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood Beefs Up Cast

The casting for Quentin Tarantino‘s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is becoming a star-studded cast of young Hollywood favs of the past two decades.

Quentin Tarantino is that director who loves to help reboot actors careers like John Travolta in Pulp Fiction, and Jennifer Jason Leigh in The Hateful Eight, just to name a couple, but wait until you get this cast list. Read on to see the new additions to Once Upon a Time in Hollywood

Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood Beefs Up Cast CelebNMovies2474.com is really looking forward to the upcoming Tarantino movie Once Upon a Time in Hollywood because this cast is AWESOME!!!

Tarantino’s film, which is set against the backdrop of the Manson Family murders in 1969 Los Angeles, just added a whole slew of people: Band of Brothers and Homeland star Damian Lewis, Riverdale‘s Luke Perry, Speed Racer‘s Emile Hirsch, Dakota Fanning, Westworld‘s Clifton Collins Jr, Keith Jefferson (who appeared in Tarantino’s The Hateful Eight), and character actor Nicholas Hammond.

Yes, bad boy Emile Hirsch, who seemed to had RUINED his career is getting a second chance. Then there is 90210’s heartthrob Luke Perry, who needs a good role to shine the camera on him.

The new additions will be joining the star-studded heavy weights Leonardo DiCaprio, Brad Pitt, Margot Robbie, Burt Reynolds, Kurt Russell, Tim Roth, Michael Madsen.

Timothy Olyphant is also in talks for a role.

This line-up is a bit crazy, folks. Damian Lewis as Steve McQueen is particularly bonkers, and I can’t wait to see how that turns out.

Once Upon a Time In Hollywood is a Pulp Fiction-like film, with several interconnecting narratives. All the storylines are set against the summer of 1969, culminating with the Manson Family murders of actress Sharon Tate and others. The main plot involves DiCaprio’s washed-up Western TV star, who just happens to live next door to Sharon Tate.

Tarantino is bringing back actors he’s previously worked with and some new blood he wants to work with.

The cast includes:

  • Leonardo DiCaprio as Rick Dalton, a washed-up Western TV star struggling to stay relevant in Hollywood.
  • Brad Pitt as Cliff Booth, Rick’s longtime friend and stunt-double.
  • Margot Robbie as Sharon Tate, the actress who was murdered by members of Charles Manson’s cult. She also just happens to be Rick’s next door neighbor in the film.
  • Burt Reynolds as George Spahn, the man who rented his ranch out to Manson. (Learn more about Spahn here.)
  • Kurt Russell, Tim Roth, and Michael Madsen, all in currently undisclosed supporting roles.

Tarantino describes the movie as such:

It takes place during the 1969 Hollywood era at the height of the counterculture explosion, at the time of the hippie revolution…During the summer, little by little, block by block, we’ll be transforming Los Angeles in the psychedelic Hollywood of 1969.

Once Upon a Time In Hollywood opens on August 9, 2019.
