Tarantino's "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" (July 2019)

[Niamh.]

Ah really, I'll have to just go there and ask then. Will try and pop next week see if they'll keep one for me or something. Thanks Niamh.

Or give them a ring, the staff might have first dibs on the popular ones too

[LaLaLand]

I just found out another very cool yet eerie "Easter Egg" from this movie, showing Tarantino's attention to detail.

It's about the ending so spoilers...

When Tex, Sadie, Katie and Flower Child pull up to Cielo Drive in the old banger of a car the song playing on the radio is "Twelve Thirty (Young Girls are Coming to the Canyon)" by The Mamas & The Papas.

The song is very poignant as it states "Young Girls are Coming to the Canyon", and of course that night they were, well three of them and Tex, coming to Benedict Canyon to slay everyone in "Terry's house"...

Interestingly, Tate and her friends were murdered at approximately... yep, 12:30 am.

Terrifyingly, also, there's a rumour that when the Police went into the property the following morning, after searching around the house they found that in the record player (with the needle still placed on the record may I add, at the end of play) - was... "Twelve Thirty", the very song.

So spooky! :skull::skull:

[Morgan.]

Oh my god

[Morgan.]

I’m literally lost for words

[Morgan.]

First of all I can’t believe I nearly listened to my family telling me it was awful, the worst film ever and had no story. Because that was ****ing everything.

The attention detail from the soundtrack, to the colours used, the shot variation and repetition. Just everything had a reason and a place. I’m so glad I got to see it before my cinema shut for a few weeks.

:cheer2::cheer2: Landed for you mate! So happy you enjoyed.

I honestly don't see how anyone can say it's a bad movie, like okay it's their opinion and maybe they're just not into this whole subject matter, but the sheer craftsmanship and as you said attention to detail in EVERY single meaningful shot/sequence is unmatched so to just dismiss it as "boring" or whatever like I've seen some say is ridic. An incredible movie!

And for the length, it didn’t drag one moment. I was hooked start to finish and completely invested in the story.

Is this any good?

Went Last night

I really enjoyed it, I do love Tarantino's latest trend of giving alternative more hollywood endings to historical events. Not as good as Inglorious Bastards or Django I thought but still very good. Leonardo Dicaprio is such a fantastic actor, in a way I'm disappointed that the Oscar he won wasn't even one of his best imo, this would be right up there for me. Brad Pitt was really good too, I loved his character and his scene with Bruce Lee was probably the best of the film for me. I also really liked Leo's scenes with the little girl.

Glad Sharon got a nice ending this time, such an awful story in r/l :(

Yes, I love Di Caprio. He's one of my favourites.

It's brilliant. A top 3 Tarantino flick for me.

The Netflix miniseries is looking more and more likely, Brad Pitt has now mentioned in an interview that it may be in the works.

People are basically craving to see the original 4 hour version of this movie with more Tate, Manson, Tate's friends, added James Marsden, Tim Roth etc.

[LaLaLand]

It's beginning to look like the Once Upon a Time in Hollywood miniseries may actually happen at Netflix. Actor Brad Pitt confirmed that Quentin Tarantino has discussed the idea after being happy with the way The Hateful Eight miniseries came together. The idea behind the project would be to take the massive amount of footage Tarantino originally shot, edit it in, and then split the new edit down into episode-length cuts.

In a new interview, Brad Pitt was asked about Quentin Tarantino taking on a Once Upon a Time in Hollywood miniseries. Pitt says, "Yeah, he's talked about it. It's a pretty arousing idea." And for fans of the movie, Pitt's opinion is spot on. Even though the final cut in theaters is just over two-and-a-half hours, many viewers expressed wanting more. Plus, some of the material shown in the promotional clips for the movie were not included in the final cut. Pitt had this to say about the idea of a Once Upon a Time in Hollywood miniseries.

"It's almost the best of both worlds. You have the cinema experience that exists, but you can actually put more content in the series format."
Quentin Tarantino's original cut of Once Upon a Time in Hollywood was famously four hours and twenty minutes. There's more than enough extra footage lying around for Tarantino to make a director's cut and then slice it into episodes, though it sounds like it would be a pretty big undertaking. Footage that was left on the cutting room floor includes James Marsden as Burt Reynolds, Danny Strong as Dean Martin, a scene where Margot Robbie's Sharon Tate goes for a swim, and Tim Roth as Jay Sebring's butler.

There's even more unused footage of 10-year old actress Julia Butters that didn't make it into Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. According to producer David Heyman, "Butters' cut scenes were so good it would have made her a lock for an Oscar nomination." This is just some of the unused footage that we know about. There is a lot more and the idea of Quentin Tarantino going in and making an alternative version of his latest hit is something to get excited about.

As for whether or not the Once Upon a Time in Hollywood miniseries ends up happening, that is unclear at the moment. For now, it seems like Quentin Tarantino is seriously thinking about it. Neither Netflix nor Tarantino have confirmed the plans to do the miniseries idea, but that makes sense since the movie is still in theaters. Regardless, the director has talked in the past about his excitement for "fuller versions" of his work to come out and has already teased the idea of a "extended miniseries" of Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and the possibility of a spin-off show too.

Current Box Office takings: $313.4 Million.

The movie has made over three times it's budget ($90-odd Million) which is what is properly considered a "success" I believe. Deserved! :clap2:

[LaLaLand]

Currently #3 in all-time Tarantino takings:

1. Django Unchained - $425,368,238
2. Inglourious Basterds - $321,455,689
3. Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood - $313,449,668
4. Pulp Fiction - $213,928,762
5. Kill Bill Vol. I - $180,949,045
6. The Hateful Eight - $155,760,117
7. Kill Bill Vol. II - $152,159,461
8. Jackie Brown - $39,673,162 (Domestic)
9. Grindhouse - $25,422,088
10. Reservoir Dogs - $2,832,029 (Domestic)

Inglorious & Django to beat to top the list, not far off second place but I think it'll struggle to match/top Django now.

[LaLaLand]

Welp in reply to my above post...

This has just surpassed Inglourious Basterds, taking #2 all-time Tarantino box office earnings at $329.4Million!

I literally thought this was the scenes released and rushed to it but it's just snippets/pics of scenes that didn't make it that have surfaced online or featured in the trailers/tv spots.

[Braden]

Okay, I watched this ages ago (around the time we had that bank holiday) and it was actually good. Still not Tarantino's best, but enjoyable nonetheless.

I watched it at Curzon, too, which enhanced the experience in a positive way.

Brad Pitt on this. :lovedup:

[LaLaLand]

Brad Pitt on this. :lovedup:

Brilliant wasn't he. I want a friend like Cliff Booth!

[LaLaLand]

Someone's listed all of the Tarantino-specific Easter Eggs in this movie on Wiki and how they relate to his previous movies or more specifically, "The Tarantinoverse":

1. A scene from Dalton's The 14 Fists of McCluskey, where his character burns Nazis with a flamethrower, is a reference to Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds.

2. Cliff Booth is a reference to Brad Pitt's character in Inglourious Basterds, Aldo Raine, who takes the cover of a stuntman.

3. When Dalton and Booth get back from Italy they walk by the blue mosaic wall in LAX, the same wall that the title character in Tarantino's Jackie Brown (Pam Grier) moves past in the opening credits of that film.

4. In the film, Lee engages in a fight with Cliff Booth on the set of The Green Hornet. Booth refers to Lee as Kato leading up to the fight. The Green Hornet theme song is featured in Tarantino's Kill Bill: Volume 1. The masks worn by the Crazy 88 gang in that film are the same as Lee's mask as Kato in The Green Hornet.

5. The car Booth drives is a 1964 blue Volkswagen Karmann Ghia convertible. It is the same year, color, make and model of the car that Beatrix "the Bride" Kiddo (Uma Thurman) drives in Kill Bill: Volume 2.

6. In the Tarantino-penned Natural Born Killers, Mickey Knox (Woody Harrelson) is told his TV ratings have outdone every serial slayer except for Charles Manson. Knox replies, "Well, it's pretty hard to beat the king." Ralph Meeker serves as DiCaprio's biggest influence for Rick Dalton. Meeker's performance in Kiss Me Deadly was the inspiration for Butch Coolidge (Bruce Willis) in Pulp Fiction.

7. Rick Dalton's 1966 Cadillac de Ville is exactly the same car driven by Mr. Blonde (Michael Madsen) in Reservoir Dogs. It is owned by Madsen.

8. Tarantino-invented fast food chain Big Kahuna Burger appears on a billboard.

9. Two new Tarantino-universe brands are introduced: Chattanooga Beer and Wolf's Tooth dog food (which may be a reference to Pulp Fiction's Winston "The Wolf" Wolfe).

10. The final scene features Rick Dalton in a commercial for fictional Red Apple cigarettes, which appear in many Tarantino films.

To add, also of course you have

11. The actual set of "Bounty Law" being the exact set used for the town in Django Unchained.

12. Kurt Russell playing a "stuntman" Randy - an obvious link and reference to his character Stuntman Mike in Death Proof.

Quentin Tarantino’s ‘Once Upon a Time in Hollywood’ to Be Re-Released With New Footage

Quentin Tarantino’s “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” is heading back to the silver screen.

Sony Pictures, the studio behind Tarantino’s latest feature, announced the movie will be re-released with 10 minutes of additional footage, including four new scenes. The lengthier version of “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood,” which already clocked in at two hours and 41 minutes, will hit 1,000 North American locations starting on Oct. 25.

“Audiences have shown tremendous support for this movie, and we look forward to offering them another opportunity to see the film as it’s meant to be seen — in theaters on the big screen — with more sights and sounds of the sixties from Quentin Tarantino as an added treat,” Adrian Smith, Sony’s president of domestic distribution, said in a statement.

The news comes following Tarantino’s announcement that he would not re-cut the movie to appease Chinese censors, putting its Oct. 25 debut in that territory “on hold.” Exhibitors say China was displeased with the movie’s portrayal of Bruce Lee.

Even without a China release, “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” is already Tarantino’s second-highest grossing movie ever behind “Django Unchained” ($425 million). So far, the R-rated film has earned $139 million in North America and $228 million overseas from a $90 million budget.

Tarantino’s ninth feature is expected to be an Oscar frontrunner and stars Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt as an aging actor and his longtime stunt double, respectively, who are struggling to find their place in a changing Hollywood. At the same time, Sharon Tate (Margot Robbie), the up-and-coming actress married to director Roman Polanski, moves next door. The drama, which pays tribute to the golden age of showbiz, is set in the late 1960s against the backdrop of the Manson family murders.

Please include the UK! I need to see it in the cinema one more time!

[LaLaLand]

It's official, Sony will be campaigning for DiCaprio for Best Actor and Pitt in Supporting for the Oscars.

I'm good with this because, for me, Pitt was the standout of the movie - and he'll probably win Supporting.

DiCaprio on the other hand, whilst still brilliant, will probably lose out to Joaquin Phoenix for Joker (or I'm hoping anyway - guy deserves every award under the sun for that role!)

I think Joaquin will get it. But I still want Di Caprio to be nominated. He was amazing in this movie.

[LaLaLand]

Absolutely agree! :hee:

I just think that it's criminal that someone like Phoenix, who I've never seen do less-than-incredible performances in everything he's ever been in, has yet to win an Academy Award.

If there was ever a "time" for him to win - it's this year with Joker, 100%.

[LaLaLand]

DVD release dates:

Once Upon a Time in Hollywood will hit Digital on November 26th and 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray, and DVD on December 10th, with over 20 minutes of additional scenes and five behind-the-scenes featurettes.

Can't wait to burn out my copy from endless repeats! :joker:

[LaLaLand]

Just ordered my copy of the DVD - can't wait to own this movie.

Might get the soundtrack on vinyl next...

[Beastie]

I have not seen it so will wait for the DVD or for it to be on sky.

[Beastie]

Leo doesn't need a second Oscar win. He's no Daniel Day Lewis. I hope one day Kevin Bacon wins an Oscar.

Woah I just found another Easter Egg, I think? Or something very similar.

Hopefully Joaquin campaigns for Joker. Him not campaigning for The Master, as well as his comments about the Oscars, is why he didn't win back in 2012 when he deserved it much more than Daniel Day-Lewis.

If there was ever a "time" for him to win - it's this year with Joker, 100%.

He should've had at least 2 Oscars by now - one for Gladiator and one for The Master.

He's one of the greatest actors of all time, possibly the best working actor at the moment.

[Tony Montana]

The little girl was definitely a standout in the film. Hope she has an amazing career ahead of her.

Agree with everything you said Tony, especially about Phoenix. I don't think I've ever seen a movie he's in where he's no less than "WOW" you know? I hope this is his year for validation (not that he needs it nor I think cares about awards).

[LaLaLand]

These are the official extras on the Blu Ray DVD release:

1. Old Chattanooga Beer Commercial 000:49
2. Red Apple Commercial 1969 Era 001:09
3. Hullabaloo – Rick Dalton Sings “Green Door” 002:55
4. Bounty Law 003:50
5. Lancer – The Meeting of Two Brothers 004:46
6. Charlie Talks to Paul Barabuta and Waves to Cliff 004:57
7. Rick Dalton and Sam Wanamaker Talk on Set 006:53

[LaLaLand]

The Red Apple commercial features James Marsden as a young Burt Reynolds advertising them - so happy because I remember seeing him in an interview saying how ecstatic he was to be just involved in the movie so I'm very glad he's back in this after originally not making the final cut of the film (however small the role/segment may be). :clap2:

All of these extras are apart of the new "extended release" that came out across America this past week I believe.

[LaLaLand]

Please don't tell me this is the artwork for the regular DVD release? According to Amazon it is, whereas 4k/Blu Ray get the big poster cover... Jeez :skull: :joker:

Talk of the devil - this is back in the cinema today here in the UK with the 10 mins extra footage. Was tempted to go to my local tonight (can only see one showing of it listed, tonight at 7) but didn't bother in the end... Have seen it twice in the movies and not long to go now for the DVD!

[LaLaLand]

The DVD is out Stateside tomorrow (I think the 4k Ultra one/Blue Ray) so we've now got HD scenes all over the net - so happy. Will hold me over until the regular DVD release in a few weeks here in the UK.

Could watch Brad Pitt cruising around in his Coup for hours! :drool:

The FULL Manson scene - he visits the main house as we saw in the movie, then visits the landlord (a fictional character called Paul Barabuta, played by Danny Strong) who lives in a back building on the property with his dog) and then weirds out Cliff... :joker:

p/B5OFOAslCA3

Taran-trivia: While Strong's character of Paul Barabuta is fictional, he is based on Hollywood business manager, Rudolph Altobelli. Altobelli owned 10050 Cielo Drive and rented it out to the Polanski's. Barabuta is also blended with Altobelli's caretaker, William Garretson, who did live in the back guesthouse and was the lone survivor of the murders on August 8th, 1969.

This is exciting, new unseen scenes from the movie were shown at QT's theatre last night - fuelling the fire even more of the much-anticipated 4 hour cut:

So last night there was a trailer show at the New Beverly theatre off La Brea and it was a blast. The admission was free and it was pretty much a 2 hour mash up of trailers, 70s ads, and a Tom and Jerry short. But the best thing was in between all that stuff, they showed a few never before seen footage of OUATIH! There were 3 that I remember and I'm excited to share the details with fellow fans.

1st scene was another Hullabaloo song performed by Leonardo's Rick Dalton. This song wasn't as catchy as "Green Door", and he performed it as Jake Cahill, in his cowboy outfit.

2nd scene was Margot's Sharon Tate dancing to a rad tune looking particulary groovy with a black and white lined background. I recall a shot of this in the teaser trailer for the film. This scene was my favorite of the 3 and was really fun to watch. Austin Powers vibes. Lasted a solid 3 minutes.

The last scene started off with Cliff Booth hanging out on the roof of his trailer, watching an old film and drinking beer. He remarks about a Hollywood actress [Raquel Welch - he's watching "The Lady in Cement" which is advertised on the drive-in's billboard on his drive back to his trailer from Rick's house] to Brandi before heading back inside his trailer.

The scene then shifts to Sharon, Jay Sebring and a few friends at the Original Tommys location on Rampart. While ordering, Sharon doesn't want chili on her burger and Jay insists, playfully telling her not to embarrass him. The camera moves to the parking lot and you can see that Tommy's is more than just any burger place. It is a very popular hang out location for Mexican Americans of that era. You see lowriders, locals smoking dope, and even a few knuckleheads starting a fight. All this in the parking lot of this infamous LA burger joint. I loved this scene and i really wish it made the cut. It was so authentic LA. and felt alive.

[LaLaLand]

Congratulations to Brad Pitt, who has deservedly won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for his role as Cliff Booth! :clap2: :love:

Hopefully there's some more awards coming this way tonight! :fc:

Congrats Brad, a well deserved win. :clap1: :love:

I think this officially ends the OUATIH hype for now, unless the Netflix "four part series" rumours are to be believed.

Quentin Tarantino set to release ‘Once Upon A Time In Hollywood’ novel in 2021

A non-fiction book called 'Cinema Speculation' is also on the way as part of a two-book deal with HarperCollins.

Quentin Tarantino has signed a new two-book deal, which includes a novel of his 2019 film Once Upon A Time In Hollywood.

Back in April, Tarantino hinted at the prospect of a novel based on the film, which starred Brad Pitt and Leonardo DiCaprio.

Now, a new book deal with HarperCollins has been confirmed, as Deadline reports. Alongside the Once Upon A Time In Hollywood novel, which will come out in 2021, Tarantino will also release a non-fiction book called Cinema Speculation, which Deadline describes as “a deep dive into the movies of the 1970’s, a rich mix of essays, reviews, personal writing, and tantalising ‘what if’s’, from one of cinema’s most celebrated filmmakers, and its most devoted fan.”

In a statement about the new deal, Tarantino said: “In the seventies movie novelisations were the first adult books I grew up reading. And to this day I have a tremendous amount of affection for the genre.

“So as a movie-novelisation aficionado, I’m proud to announce Once Upon A Time In Hollywood my contribution to this often marginalised, yet beloved sub-genre in literature. I’m also thrilled to further explore my characters and their world in a literary endeavor that can (hopefully) sit alongside its cinematic counterpart.”

“Quentin Tarantino’s literary talents have been in plain sight since his first scripts,” HarperCollins VP Noah Eaker added. “But to see how skillfully he endows his characters with life on the page and how he constantly takes a reader by surprise, even one who knows the movie by heart, is to see a master storyteller trying on a new form and making it his own.”

A five-star NME review of Once Upon A Time In Hollywood called the film “Tarantino’s most satisfying work in decades,” adding: “It would be wrong to declare OUAT…IH to be quite so perfectly formed as Pulp Fiction, but there is no doubt that this is his most well-rounded and satisfying work since.

“The adrenaline rush of the final third resembles all that is special about Tarantino – audacious, brazen and impossibly thrilling.”

QT has given info on the novel - says it's not just a basic "novelized screenplay".

Quentin Tarantino teased his upcoming “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” novel for the first time during an appearance on the “Pure Cinema Podcast” (via The Wrap), touting the book as more than a typical novelization of his Oscar-winning movie. According to Tarantino, the “Hollywood” novel is more of a “complete rethinking” of the movie than a book that just reprints the screenplay and adds in all the deleted scenes that Tarantino cut out of the theatrical release.

“It’s not just me taking the screenplay and then breaking it down in a novelistic form. I retold the story as a novel,” Tarantino said. “So it’s not like, ‘Oh, OK, well he obviously had a few scenes left over, so he just took the screenplay and novelized it and threw in a few extra scenes.’ It was a complete rethinking of the entire story and not just a rethinking as far as throwing some scenes that were left out of the editing room. But I did so much research.”

Tarantino continued, “I was writing it for five years, so there was so much stuff that I wrote and I explored that I never even typed up, because there was no way it was going to make the movie, but it was edification, it made me understand the characters, it made me learn things about them…I’m trying to tell a novelistic version of these characters. If the book existed first, then the movie would be me making a movie out of that material. You know how you take an unwieldy novel and try to turn it into a movie? Well, to me, the movie is that. This is the unwieldy version of the movie.”

One character the “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” novel will flesh out more fully than the movie did is stuntman Cliff Booth, played in the film by Brad Pitt in a performance that won him the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor.

“In the movie, Cliff is a real enigma, you’re kind of like, what’s this guy’s deal?” Tarantino said. “And one of the things in the book is, there’s these isolated chapters that tell you, like, this whole chapter will be about Cliff’s past. It goes back in time to tell you about Cliff at this point in time. And then you go further on with the normal run of the story and there’s another chapter that goes back in time and tells you about Cliff’s past. And every isolated chapter that’s just about Cliff’s past is like a weird little pulp novel unto itself starring Cliff.”

Tarantino’s “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” novel is now available for preorder. The book goes on sale June 29.
