We’re just months away from the film’s July release date, and pretty much all involved have kept relatively mum about Quentin Tarantino’s star-studded ninth picture, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. But yesterday, the film dropped its first poster, featuring Brad Pitt and Leonardo DiCaprio, and followed up today by offering a glimpse at Margot Robbie, who stars as the late Sharon Tate.
The Academy Award-nominee shared the poster to her social media accounts, captioning it “Hollywood. 1969.” as DiCaprio captioned his post the day before. In the image, Robbie definitely captures Tate’s look (even Tate’s own sister agrees that Robbie is perfectly cast). The movie’s costuming is going for a subdued vintage feel, striking for authenticity rather than over the top throwbacks, and it largely works: Robbie’s Tate is the picture of tasteful mod style, from her blindingly-white go-go boots to the signature late-sixties middle part. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Tate’s posed in front of the legendary Fox Village Theater, a popular site for movie premiers.
The film takes place in 1969 Hollywood, and stars DiCaprio as a veteran TV Western star and Pitt as his stunt double. While not much is known about the plot, the film loosely revolves around the story of Tate’s real-life murder at the hands of Charles Manson’s cult. Its cast is deeply star studded—Pitt, DiCaprio, and Robbie are joined an ensemble that includes Kurt Russell, Bruce Dern, Dakota Fanning, Emile Hirsch, and the late Luke Perry—so we may be in for a few more posters before the tailer finally drops.
