The trailer *could* be dropping tomorrow apparently, it's not 100% Tuesday

(Could also mean it could be Weds, Thurs or Fri though, too)

[Tony Montana]

Hopefully it's tomorrow.

Tarantino himself has released this letter urging critics/audience at the premiere tomorrow not to spoil the movie after watching, probably something to do with how the whole Manson/Tate thing pans out I assume, it's going to be another "Inglorious..." with revisionist history... Or maybe not?:

Critics are pressed though, seeing their ass about it on Twitter so I wouldn't be surprised if the knives are out tomorrow and we get some real nit-picky reviews just because of this.

Wow he really wants this to be kept top secret. Must be a masterpiece of a film then.

Well this looks promising!!

[LaLaLand]

Another!! Rick Dalton is Joe Tanner in... "TANNER":

[Tony Montana]

Posters look incredible. I take it Quentin is paying homage to the Pulp Magazines.

Yeah those and classic early 60's movie posters.

What's funny is they're references to real movies, "Nebraska Jim" was the other title for a movie called "Savage Gringo"/"Ringo de Nebraska" (which ties into the other poster), released in 1966!

[Strictly Jake]

Really looking forward to this film

[LaLaLand]

Ah nice to see more interest!

The full, proper, red-band trailer is expected to drop tomorrow Jake, to coincide with the world premiere at Cannes tomorrow night (premiering about 7pm UK time).

Then of course initial reviews will immediately follow!

[LaLaLand]

The artist signed on the posters is Renato Casaro, 83 years old, famous for creating the posters for movies like Octopussy, Never Say Never Again, Red Sonja, Conan the Barbarian, Rambo 2 and Quadrophenia among many others. Very cool!

If he's doing the official, main poster we're in for a treat.

Some new insights:

This is what the press notes Sony distributed said about the movie:

“It is a character-driven story, dealing with mature issues of unfulfilled expectations that inevitably confront us all as we age. In Hollywood, this struggle is particularly dramatic, as success and failure live side by side. In Once Upon a Time…, they do so literally as well as figuratively. Uniting two of today’s greatest stars in a first-ever pairing and recreating an entire lost era, the film is big cinema made for the big screen. A true original in a landscape of sequels and superheroes. Set in 1969, Tarantino recreates the time and place of his formative years, when everything – the United States, the city of Los Angeles, the Hollywood star system, even the movies themselves – was at an inflection point, and no one knew where the pieces would land. All this is not entirely dissimilar from the changes buffeting Hollywood today.”

Also, Hammond talked to somebody who saw the film and they said this:

All I have been told by someone who has seen it and is connected to the film’s campaign is that it is “not what you expect it to be” and then describes it rather mysteriously as a “fairy tale.” Intriguing, but they said nothing else.

TRAILER!!!!! omg

Youtube video

It looks as if Brad's character becomes a member of Manson's Family

[LaLaLand]

The premiere is now underway!

Brad, Leo, QT & Margot on the Red Carpet:

Spoiler:

Initial reviews expected within 3/4 hours

[LaLaLand]

Initial reviews are (as expected) diverse, but the majority are extremely positive.

Will post some Tweets later but the general consensus is that this is very Pulp Fiction, authentic, unsettling and very "Tarantino". Also a very touching movie.

Brad Pitt is apparently incredible in this and the not-to-be-spoiled ending is excellent, a real "pay off" according to many who have left the screening wanting a drink/a lie down!

[LaLaLand]

The amount of 5* reviews coming out for this are incredible!! I'm so happy!!

The Guardian's "dazzling" 5* review:

Variety call it a "masterwork":

Just watched it! Looks amazing and even better than the first. Love that we saw more of the cast, especially Kurt and Timothy.

Unlikely but i'm still hoping Kurt will be playing Stuntman Mike.

I really hope this film will match (or even succeed) Pulp Fiction. We need a film that is shocking, thrilling, quotable and one hell of a ride this generation to match PF and I have a feeling it could be this.

It received a 7 minute standing ovation after it premiered at Cannes.

The crowd that was able to get into the Cannes Film Festival’s world premiere of Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood gave the film a seven-minute standing ovation at the end of one of the most anticipated screenings at the prestigious festival in recent years.

“Thank you for being such a fantastic audience for the first time we’ve ever showed it to an audience,” Tarantino told the crowd after the screening in very brief remarks, thanking the studio, producers, cast and crew.

It was an enthusiastic response to the film, Tarantino’s ninth and most recent film in Cannes since Inglourious Basterds in 2009. He won the Palme d’Or 25 years ago for Pulp Fiction.
