Sharon Tate, Jay Sebring, Wojciech Frykowski, Abigail Folger and Steven Parent were all brutally murdered in a home invasion by Tex Watson, Susan Atkins, Linda Kasabian and Patricia Krenwinkel at a house on Cielo Drive on 8 August.
The Tate-Labianca murders took place across two terrible LA nights in 1969. When is Once Upon a Time in Hollywood set? The meandering story leads all three inexorably towards the night of 8 August, 1969, when a violent confrontation with the Manson Family occurs. And to some extent – though perhaps not as much as you'd expect – it's about Sharon Tate ( Margot Robbie), who, along with her husband Roman Polanski, moves in next door to Dalton on Cielo Drive, leading Dalton to hope that some networking with the new Hollywood generation might be possible to revive his flagging career. It's also about his stunt double and best friend Cliff Booth ( Brad Pitt), a former green beret in WWII whose Hollywood career is, naturally enough, declining in tandem with Dalton's. In terms of story, it's about Rick Dalton ( Leonardo DiCaprio), a once successful actor who's now watching his star diminish, forced to take supporting roles against up-and-coming new talent. I’m very excited to tell this story of an LA and a Hollywood that don’t exist anymore." He worked on the screenplay for several years, he said, "as well as living in Los Angeles County most of my life, including in 1969, when I was seven years old. And it's a (largely) rose-tinted portrait of the Hollywood of the late 1960s and early 1970s: a formative era for the maverick filmmaker's imagination. It's an ensemble drama with, even for Tarantino, an extraordinary cast. Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is Quentin Tarantino's ninth film (a number that counts both Kill Bill movies as one and doesn't include his contribution to Four Rooms).
