Set in 1969 Los Angeles, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood follows "television star Rick Dalton and his longtime stunt double" as they "make their way around a changing industry that they hardly recognize anymore." Ahead of the Cannes debut, Tarantino released a letter urging the audience at the festival to avoid giving away any big surprises in the film, suggesting there's a lot more than meets the eye here.
Once Upon a Time in Hollywood opens July 26, 2019.
