Once Upon A Time In Hollywood Trailer Reactions: 6 Ups & 2 Downs

2. The Cast Looks Great

Sony

The teaser trailer doesn't feature all of Once Upon A Time In Hollywood's sprawling cast, but the glimpses we do get are more than enough to whet the appetite.

Headline by DiCaprio, Pitt, and Robbie, those three alone are more than enough for any film to generate interest, and while it's obviously difficult to get a handle on their performances from the teaser, they do all seem to be having a great time. Pitt's delivery is almost exactly the same as in Inglourious Basterds (watch them be related, somehow), and we get a hint of his chemistry with DiCaprio's Dalton, while Robbie looks completely like the embodiment of Sharon Tate.

Even beyond those, Mike Moh looks almost terrifyingly accurate as Bruce Lee, to the point where you might have to Google whether Tarantino actually found a way of using old footage to include him, and just the slightest hint of creepiness in the brief shot of Damon Herriman as Charles Manson.
