DirectorQuentin Tarantinohas assembled some true A-list talent for his new filmOnce Upon a Time … in Hollywood(yes, the ellipsis is part of it …).Leonardo DiCapriostars as a faded TV Western star, withBrad Pittas his stunt double (imagine!)Margot Robbieis also part of the lead as actressSharon Tate, the wife ofRoman Polanskiwho was murdered by followers of Charles Manson. The plot of the movie, as far as we know, revolves around the Manson Family Murders, but not much has been revealed beyond that.
Scoot McNairy, who is part of the movie’s sprawling cast,told us recentlyabout the filming experience, saying:
That was probably one of the greatest experiences of my career. Just to watch Quentin be on set and be Quentin, and hold court, was one of the most fascinating things I have probably ever experienced in the movie business. It was an amazing, awesome experience. I would give anything to do it again. I really loved just listening to the guy be an encyclopedia on set. It’s incredible, the amount of information that guy stores in his head. But, it was great. I play a character that’s within a TV show in the movie. I know I’m not supposed to speak too much about it, but I can say that I play a character on a TV show, within the movie.
