Once Upon a Time in Hollywood won’t be released until July 26, 2019, but thanks to Vanity Fair we have a first look at images from the film.
Previously reported as being about the Manson Murders, the event will instead serve as part of the movie’s plot.
Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is centers around the Manson Family murders around 1969, especially the high-profile murder of Sharon Tate (played by Margot Robbie), who was the wife of Roman Polanski and pregnant with their child.
Leonardo DiCaprio plays aging out-of-work TV actor Rick Dalton and Pitt plays his longtime stunt double Cliff Booth (Brad Pitt).
Together they embark on an odyssey to make a name for themselves in the film industry during the Charles Manson murders in 1969 in Los Angeles.
The two characters happen to be the neighbors of Sharon Tate. The movie is based on the murder of actor Sharon Tate and three others at the hands of the Manson family cult.
The first image released shows the characters of DiCaprio and Pitt interacting with Al Pacino’s character.
Another image has DiCaprio with a shotgun in his hand jumping from a vehicle.
The final image has DiCaprio dancing in what looks like an advertisement.
