I went a bit off Quentin Tarantino after the torture-porn disaster that was The Hateful Eight.

His new film, however, looks like fun.

If you can get over the Harvey Weinstein connections.

The first trailer for Once Upon A Time In Hollywood has dropped, and it looks like Tarantino is returning to his roots with a look at hippie Hollywood.

Here’s Variety:

Starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt, the footage features a montage of Tinseltown in the late 1960s. The duo play Rick Dalton and Cliff Booth, a washed-up actor and his long-time stunt double.

… “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” is set in 1969 Hollywood, a year that saw the rise of Charles Manson’s cult. Rick Dalton and Cliff Booth live next door to Sharon Tate (Margot Robbie), the pregnant actress killed in the Manson murders who catapulted the story into Hollywood news.

Tarantino, who wrote the script and directed the film, says that it was inspired by his own upbringing.

Look at these dapper gents:

The film has been five years in the making.

“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. “I’m very excited to tell this story of an L.A. and a Hollywood that don’t exist anymore.”

The exact release date is unconfirmed, but the film is expected to hit cinemas later this year.
