This set video is like a trip back in time! With a cellphone! A YouTube user uploaded this glimpse of the Once Upon a Time in Hollywood set, and it's a production designer's dream. Period-appropriate cars (and buses) cruise up and down the street while antiquated items like phone booths (remember them?!) litter the landscape. A movie theater advertises screenings of The Night They Raided Minsky's, one of William Friedkin's earliest films and a huge box office flop (Friedkin talks about the making of this movie extensively in his excellent autobiography The Friedkin Connection).
Once Upon a Time in Hollywood tells several interconnected stories set during the summer of 1969, with Charles Manson and his Manson family lurking in the background. Tarantino has assembled an overwhelming cast for the film, including:
We've already seen DiCaprio and Pitt in costume as their characters, and I imagine it's only a matter of time before we start catching glimpses of the rest of the cast as well.
Once Upon a Time in Hollywood opens on August 9, 2019.
