Written and directed by Quentin Tarantino, Once Upon a Time in…Hollywood goes back to the final moments of Hollywood’s golden age in 1969, Los Angeles. A time when everything changed, as TV star Rick Dalton, played by Leonardo DiCaprio and his longtime stunt double Cliff Booth, played by Brad Pitt stroll their way around a magical business, they barely identify with anymore.
The below press junket is a marvel of information about movie making and how Tarantino makes his movies. The tone in itself expresses the joy of making a movie. It’s great to see Pitt so animated and happy. One of the best interviews on filmmaking I have seen in a long time.
Tarantino’s ninth movie with a large ensemble cast and multiple storylines in a tribute to the final moments of Hollywood’s golden age. With David Heyman, Harry Potter franchise, producing along with Tarantino and Shannon McIntosh, the movie is in good hands.
The rest of the ensemble cast includes Dakota Fanning, Tim Roth, Emile Hirsch, Al Pacino, Kurt Russell, and the late Luke Perry.
The first trailer is a mishmash of clips from the movie, but the focus is on DiCaprio and Pitt. Margot Robbie also stars, but we barely see her in the trailer but the full view in the above poster wearing go-go boots. Go-go boots arrived on the streets in the mid-60s, white with the low heel.
The next movie trailer tells us this is Tarantino’s ninth movie and a longer cast list, which includes Dakota Fanning and Kurt Russell, plus the late Luke Perry. The music is ironic and appropriate for the scenes and situations. The story is more transparent now with Pitt’s character hooking up with a young woman, and DiCaprio deems himself a has been.
The other interview is a rarity. Pitt and DiCaprio have a joint interview. They talk together about Tarantino’s directing style, and how he helped them prepare for their roles.
Here are a couple of interviews with the director, Tarantino, who describes what he is achieving when he is directing a movie. Robbie sits with him and gives her impression of the screening of the film.
The other interview is a rarity. Pitt and DiCaprio have a joint meeting with the press. They talk together about Tarantino’s directing style, and how he helped them prepare for their roles.
The studio released another poster with a retro look of the 1960s. Each movie poster appears to be a retro look, but this one is more retro than the others. The poster shows all the characters in the movie. Who is the girl with the teddy bear? The daughter of one either DiCaprio’s or Pitt’s character?
You call this “a great scene acted by legends,” and Kurt Russell nails it.
The three featurettes are astounding and offer an insight into the making of this classic movie — one of the best movies I’ve seen in a long time.
Directed by Josie Rourke, Mary, Queen of Scots, is based on the book by John Guy called “Queen of Scots: The True Life of Mary Stuart”. Mary Stuart’s, played by Saoirse Ronan, attempt to overthrow her cousin Elizabeth I, Queen of England, played by Margot Robbie. Stuart finds herself condemned to years of imprisonment before facing execution.
The second trailer shows how fierce each woman gets over winning the throne. I posted some behind the scene clips on My YouTube Channel. The clips show details in the costumes, amazing.
Watch the trailer and clips. You will see some fine acting.
Mary, Queen of Scots appears to be Rourke’s first movie, but her theatrical experience is quite extensive. She is the Artistic Director of the Donmar Warehouse, and her productions have transferred to Broadway, the West-End and won Olivier Awards.
The two featurettes are put together showing how the two women interrelated with each other and their times. Rourke shares the difference between the two queens while Ronan talks about Mary Stuart as a dynamic woman. Robbie talks about how the two women were influenced by men who influenced and ruled the culture at the time.
