The wait will torture me!

Hopefully though, it goes down a storm over in the USA and is something worth waiting for!

Don't worry, Jonnii, before you know it, it will already be August.

The year is going fast, it's already ****ing March.

Will do, Jonny

Just ask Josy or James to change your username

Holy **** this has blown my mind, the attention to detail even in the teaser...

The clip [teaser trailer], released Wednesday, kicks off with the jangling guitar and bass groove of “Straight Shooter,” a track by the group the Mamas and the Papas found on their 1966 debut.

At first listen, the song perfectly sums up the sunny L.A. scene before the specter of Manson and his followers cast a pall over the peace and love. But the soundtrack has a more sinister implication. When investigators combed through the living room where Sharon Tate lay dead at 10050 Cielo Drive on the morning after the murders, they found a grand piano mere feet from her body. Resting on the music stand was the sheet music for “Straight Shooter.”

From a VERY interesting article which has taught me a few things including how Polanski and Michelle Phillips had an affair, John Phillips threatened Roman with a meat cleaver over it and basically Roman thought John had killed Sharon in revenge. RP would go around to John/Michelle's house to try and find blood in their car! A whole new dynamic https://people.com/music/once-upon-a...tter_peoplemag

No point on perching just yet then.

Michael Madsen interview, talks about OUATIH, confirms his role. Around the 4:30 mark:

Youtube video

- He's playing an actor who plays the Sheriff in Leo's character's Western TV show, "Bounty Law"
- Leo's character on his show is a Bounty Hunter
- All of Madsen's scenes in the movie are in black and white, which probably means ALL of the "Bounty Law" sequences will be too (like at the beginning of the teaser)
- Confirms (?) The Manson Murders "are in there"
- The movie is "about the 60's, a lot of things happened in the 60's... The Manson murders was just one of those things, but that's not really what it's about... It's more about the 60's of America"
- Tarantino's biggest movie budget EVER [around the $100 MILLION mark!]
- He could just have the wrong year, but he says that the streets of Hollywood that were transformed back to how they looked in the 60's, "looked how they were in 1967 and 1968"... Doesn't mention 1969. This adds fuel to the rumour of it spanning a whole decade.

[LaLaLand]

Lots of little bits of info seems to be coming out slowly about castings.

Timothy Olyphant is playing TV Western star James Stacy, who played Wayne Maunder's brother in the classic Western TV show "Lancer" (which we know Tarantino bought the rights to).

Wayne Maunder of course is being played by Luke Perry (RIP) in this movie.

James Stacy was also married to actress Connie Stevens, who is being played in this movie by Dreama Walker. They were neighbours of Tate/Polanski.

We know Rumer Willis (Bruce/Demi's daughter) is playing actress Joanna Pettet, she links into the "story" as she was very good friends with Sharon Tate and actually had lunch with her just hours before the murder.

[LaLaLand]

This is interesting re: plot too...

Leonardo DiCaprio as Rick Dalton:
An actor who starred in the Western television series Bounty Law from 1958 to 1963. His attempt to transition to movies has not worked out and in 1969 he is struggling, doing guest roles on other people's programs while contemplating moving to Italy, which has become a hotbed for low-budget Westerns.

So the teaser "Western" clips were from pre-1963... Interestiiiing...

I've added a "Confirmed castings" list to the original post too, will keep it updated if I remember. The cast is HUGE.

[LaLaLand]

IDK how true this is but that's a very cool poster, very "trippy".

EDIT: It IS fan-made, but very, very cool. I love it.

HQ:

[LaLaLand]

However...

It's a bloody spectacular poster, fits the theme perfectly and even pays homage to the old Leone "Once Upon a Time in..." posters in it's layout AND old Hollywood posters like, for example, off the top of my head "My Fair Lady". Perfect really so I hope it "somehow" gets used unless they have one already planned. Hopefully nowhere near the same as the teasers...

[Tony Montana]

That poster looks epic as ****

[LaLaLand]

Doesn't it just Tony! There's another too by the same people, much more simplistic but still very 1960s! These should have been the teaser (simplistic) and the official poster!!:

Nice little "Easter Egg" here, or perhaps "Tarantino-universe" link, the Western set from the teaser was used in Django:

[LaLaLand]

The Mamas & The Papas' "Straight Shooter" is officially on the soundtrack. Opens the teaser and was Tate's favourite song. The sheet music for this song was also on the piano when the murders took place in Tate's home.

I didn't even notice, found this online on a random movie forum! Saved it and couldn't remember which exact site I got it from so can't correctly give credit, oops. Very clever though.

[LaLaLand]

I love how they could easily link loads of QT films.

"Bounty Law" to Django, because in this "universe", Django could have really happened at the time of the American Civil War, so this show could be set in the same time and same "town" as Django. Imagine if there's a character playing a character of Django in the fake TV show!

Also, this movie takes place like 24 years after WW2 ended with Hitler and co being blown to smithereens by "The Basterds", Shoshanna and double-crossing Landa, theoretically.

The soundtrack looks brilliant.

[LaLaLand]

When the official Once Upon a Time in Hollywood Twitter posted the trailer today, the tagline included featured this excerpt: “Experience a version of 1969.” The emphasis on version is mine, but again, I can’t help but think this is yet another clue hinting at a film set in some sort of alternate reality. A reality where the terrible events of August 9, 1969 didn’t happen at all. And as that title implies, this is “once upon a time.” This is not reality – it’s a fairy tale.

Kind of sums up my thinking this. Link

So Sharon will survive and her baby grow up as Hollywood royalty?

Literally anything is possible with Quentin.

As I've said before, Sharon's sister has personally approved this project which probably means that the murders either don't happen OR they happen off-screen if they do. She's a staunch advocate for her sister and is against any form of glorification of the events, understandably.

The vibe of this movie is pretty much "end of an era" in many respects, the dreaminess of the 60's as we knew it pretty much ended that night (60's America/California anyway).

I'm very intrigued to see what spin he's going with though...

[LaLaLand]

She has the exact same bikini, good job.
