It's definitely a strong contender to win the Palme d'or

[LaLaLand]

As of now it is looking that the premiere will take place on May 21 — exactly 25 years to the day that his Pulp Fiction played on the Croisette before winning the Palme d'Or in 1994.

Nice little touch that, history repeated?

It's actually a crime that Quentin hasn't won an Oscar

Him, Paul Thomas Anderson, David Fincher and Christopher Nolan should've all had one by now.

Tarantino has actually won 2 Oscars, both "Best Original Screenplay" - one for Pulp Fiction and the other for Django. He has been nominated also for 3 others.

However, this could easily be a big player next Awards season as it panders in a way to Hollywood and the industry, just like La La Land did, another major award-winner.

I meant for Best Director, I know he's won for two Best Original Screenplays, but he should've won Best Director for PF

Ahhh I get you! 100% agree. It's totally a one of a kind film, totally ripped up the rule book too. Should have swept the boards at the Awards.

94 was an amazing year at the Oscars. Forrest Gump was great, but Pulp and Shawshank deserved it far more imo.

[LaLaLand]

I still can't believe that initially, Shawshank was as a box office flop. It only got it's success from word-of-mouth and VHS sales! Travesty!

To be fair it's a hard sell in terms of cinema promotion... "So it's about these guys in prison and mostly they just live in prison for like decades, the guy likes carving rocks and works at the library. And it's based on a relatively obscure King story" and they can't even share that he escapes without spoiling the whole film.

Like... On paper it doesn't sound very interesting. I guess it's just that by the time it came out on home release, those who HAD seen it in the cinema were like "It's actually a masterpiece!" so people were then interested...

[LaLaLand]

True! I'm glad it's now considered a classic though, amazingly moving film. The end makes me blub a little bit, the scene on the beach!

[LaLaLand]

Any soundtrack predictions for this movie guys!? QT's soundtracks are stuff of legend obviously, intrigued to see the route he goes with this being pre-1969.

What do we think will play over the trailer?

EDIT: WOW 6 pages already!? I need to get out more

EXT - THE SET OF "BOUNTY LAW" - DAY

This is to be filmed in 16mm B/W, circa 1961.

A publicity interview on the set of the western TV show "Bounty Law." Sitting right beside each other in two directors chairs are series lead RICK DALTON and his stunt double CLIFF BOOTH. They are both wearing identical cowboy outfits, and Cliff sports his "Rick Wig", which gives him the same pompadour as Dalton.

A TV INTERVIEWER sits in a chair in front of the two men, turned around facing the camera.

TRAILER is here!!

That trailer looks phenomenal, well worth the wait I'd say

Looks like it will be a mix of Crime and Action with a touch of Comedy. Don't know why but I got Dazed and Confused teas.

Since it's a Tarantino flick, I imagine the storyline will be out of chronological order.

Bruce Lee

I can't get that song out of my head. Any ideas what it's called, Jonnii?

It's incredible. It's everything I hoped it would be honestly, a real throwback to that era. It's just a teaser so we get really nothing in terms of character connections, but it looks almost as if it could be Pulp Fiction 1969. Amazing.

Although, I think this is typical Tarantino tactics in that this teaser makes it look like it's all fun and tongue-in-cheek... As we know QT movies 99% of the time (besides maybe "Jackie Brown") have excessive violence, blood etc so I don't see this as any different. I think we're in for a shock in terms of this vs. actual plot. If you remember, the original teaser for "Inglorious..." was very "tongue in cheek" despite the obvious plot... The actual movie was SO very dark.

The guy who plays Bruce Lee has absolutely nailed it and I'm glad that they've not made Manson look immediately sinister, he almost looks goofy in this teaser. Margot looks phenomenal!!

I cannot wait!! This just looks like such a wild ride. Constantly replaying it

Hopefully with the trailer out this will get more users interested in the film besides me and you

Hopefully mate!

The new "blurb" on the website gives us a bit of a hint of what to expect:

Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time in... Hollywood visits 1969 Los Angeles, where everything is changing, as TV star Rick Dalton (Leonardo DiCaprio) and his longtime stunt double Cliff Booth (Brad Pitt) make their way around an industry they hardly recognize anymore. The ninth film from the writer-director features a large ensemble cast and multiple storylines in a tribute to the final moments of Hollywood’s golden age.

MULTIPLE storylines = Pulp Fiction-type structure.

"The final moments of Hollywood's golden age" = Many would argue that the glitz and glamour of Hollywood came to an end because of Charles Manson and his cronies, at the same time killing the Hippie movement dead in it's tracks with their actions. Hippies were no longer seen as these peaceful, loving people from then on.

[LaLaLand]

There's a huge debate online over what Leo's character says at the end of the trailer after thanking the young girl for her comment on his acting.

He clearly says (which has been confirmed) "Rick ****ing Dalton", but some are adament he says "Great ****ing note".

Basically the new Yanni/Laurel

[LaLaLand]

Three things we may have missed from the trailer:

1. Our first main look at Manson's girls. I love how accurately filthy they look, bad skin included! Girl in the front smiling is Margaret Qualley (who I today found out is the daughter of Andie McDowell!!) who is also in the on-set picture I shared a few pages back of Lena Dunham (ew). She plays an inspired-but-fictional character called Kitty Kat.



2. Jay Sebring (played by Emile Hirsch) being trained by Bruce Lee at his home:



3. Perhaps the most interesting - the director is Sam Wanamaker (played by The Sound of Music's Nicholas Hammond), Timothy Olyphant is to the right in the red shirt and cowboy hat and just past him in the doorway also in cowboy gear is Luke Perry (RIP) which confirms their roles as fellow characters in Leo's TV show.



4. Sharon (Margot) partying with The Mamas & the Papas' Cass Elliot (right) and Michelle Phillips. The two guys immediately behind could easily be the "Papas" - John Phillips (R in the frilly suit) and Denny Doherty (L). Pretty cool.

[LaLaLand]

ALSO - extremely interesting:

This movie could potentially span the whole 60's, wow.

Really intrigued by this. When is it expected to be released?
