Burt Reynolds, who was one of the biggest superstars in Hollywood during the mid 1970s with theatrical hits such as Smokey and the Bandit and Deliverance, died today at Jupiter Medical Center in Florida, according to The Hollywood Reporter. He was 82.
Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon A Time In Hollywood, a crime film set in Los Angeles reportedly around the time of the 1969 Manson Family murders, is currently in production, and slowly the cast are sending out their headshots from the film via social media. We saw our first look at Leonardo DiCaprio as actor Rick Dalton and Brad Pitt as his longtime stunt double Cliff Booth. Now we are getting our first look at Margot Robbie as Sharon Tate, the pregnant actress wife of director Roman Polanski, who was one of the Manson murder victims.
Quentin Tarantino‘s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood will take audiences back to the golden age of hippy Hollywood while also exploring Charles Manson and the murder of Sharon Tate. The director has always had an interesting perspective in telling fictionalized versions of history. So it should be very entertaining to see what kind of story he has to tell here.
Production on the film started today for a 2019 summer release. And though it may be a while before we see anything substantial, photo drops should be enough to hold us over in the long run. The first of these comes from Leonardo DiCaprio, who has released an image of him and co-star Brad Pitt, in attire that befits the ’60s era. Check it out below.
One of the names that we’ve been hearing about for a role in Quentin Tarantino‘s next project, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, has been Margot Robbie. The film is set in 1960s Hollywood and involves the Manson Family murders, and Tarantino was looking at Robbie for the role of Sharon Tate. Now Robbie has confirmed that she has indeed been cast in the movie. She joins the previously cast Leonardo DiCaprio, who will play a TV actor looking to make it in Hollywood and Tate’s neighbor, and Brad Pitt as his friend and stunt double who shares his aspirations.
In addition to that, a group of notable actors are now in talks for various roles in the film. This includes Burt Reynolds, Kurt Russell (who starred in the director’ last project, The Hateful Eight), and Tarantino regulars Tim Roth and Michael Madsen.
