Brad Pitt and Leonardo DiCaprio will both star in Quentin Tarantino’s next film, Sony Pictures announced recently. The film, titled Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, centers around two men who lived next door to Sharon Tate in the late 1960s, reports JustJared.com.
Leonardo will play Rick Dalton, the former star of a western TV show, and Brad will portray his longtime stunt double, Cliff Booth. “Both are struggling to make it in Hollywood they don’t recognise anymore,” Quentin explained, adding, “But Rick has a very famous next-door neighbour, Sharon Tate.”
“I’ve been working on this script for five years, as well as living in Los Angeles County most of my life, including in 1969, when I was seven years old,” Quentin added in a statement. “I’m very excited to tell this story of an L.A., and a Hollywood that don’t exist anymore. And I couldn’t be happier about the dynamic teaming of DiCaprio and Pitt as Rick and Cliff.”
Quentin has previously worked with Brad in Inglourious Basterds, and with Leonardo in Django Unchained.
