20 Most Hotly Anticipated Movies Of Summer 2019 - Ranked

2. Once Upon A Time In Hollywood

Release Date: July 26

Billed As: Set in 1969 Los Angeles, a faded television actor (Leonardo DiCaprio) and his stunt double (Brad Pitt) strive to achieve fame and success in the film industry during Hollywood’s Golden Age.

Hype: Quentin Tarantino’s latest movie is both highly anticipated and controversial in true Tarantino fashion. A fictionalised story between an actor and his stunt double in late 60s Hollywood sounds fantastic as it will bring to life an era of Hollywood that people remain obsessed with, including Tarantino himself.

Once Upon A Time In Hollywood will also depict Charles Manson (Damon Herriman) and members of the Manson Family, including Squeaky Fromme (Dakota Fanning). Many people have been concerned over the portrayal of Sharon Tate’s murder, portrayed by Margot Robbie, but some think it could be an alternate history which would be pretty cool.

Hollywood is a subject Tarantino knows a lot about, so it will be fun to explore how exactly he is going to portray these events on-screen. There’s also the question of runtime – his movies tend to be quite long, and it’s likely this one will follow suit.

Set to be released during the height of summer will definitely aid the movie’s LA atmosphere. Currently, Once Upon A Time In Hollywood looks like it’ll be one to remember.
