Columbia Pictures has released the firstOnce Upon a Time in Hollywoodposter, offering a new look at the ninth film from writer/directorQuentin Tarantino, and one has to wonder if a trailer isn’t far behind. Or more specifically, Columbia Pictures has released the first poster for “Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood” as it’s officially presented. The original film takes place in 1969 and starsLeonardo DiCaprioas the star of a famous Western TV series who’s trying to find his place in a rapidly changing Hollywood landscape alongside his trusty stunt double, played byBrad Pitt. Oh, and they live next door to Sharon Tate (Margot Robbie) the year the actress was brutally murdered by members of Charlie Manson’s cult.
That’s a lot to chew on, but what’s been clear from the descriptions and casting thus far isOnce Upon a Time in Hollywoodis a film about, well, Hollywood. That’s telegraphed in this here poster, as the font for the movie’s title is the same as the iconic Hollywood sign. As for the poster design itself, you don’t really get more confident than, “I have Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt together in one movie,” so putting them front and center is a wise marketing move. I have some nitpicks about the specifics (namely, why does Brad Pitt’s head look photoshopped?) but there’s almost nothing about the marketing of this movie that would convince menotto see this. It’s the new Tarantino. Obviously I’m gonna see it.
