Brad Pitt & Leonardo DiCaprio Will Star in Quentin Tarantino’s Manson Movie ‘Once Upon a Time in Hollywood’

Brad Pitt and Leonardo DiCaprio are headed to the big screen together!

The 54-year-old Fury star and the 43-year-old The Revenant actor will co-star in director and writer Quentin Tarantino‘s upcoming movie Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.

The film “takes place in Los Angeles in 1969, at the height of hippy Hollywood,” Quentin described, according to Variety.

Leonardo will play Rick Dalton, the former star of a western TV show, and Brad will portray his longtime stunt double, Cliff Booth.

“Both are struggling to make it in a Hollywood they don’t recognize anymore,” Quentin explained. “But Rick has a very famous next-door neighbor…Sharon Tate.”

“I’ve been working on this script for five years, as well as living in Los Angeles County most of my life, including in 1969, when I was 7 years old,” Quentin added in a statement. “I’m very excited to tell this story of an L.A., and a Hollywood that don’t exist anymore. And I couldn’t be happier about the dynamic teaming of DiCaprio & Pitt as Rick & Cliff.”

Quentin has previously worked with Brad in Inglourious Basterds, and with Leonardo in Django Unchained.

Once Upon a Time in Hollywood
(the first movie that Quentin is releasing without the Weinstein Company) will hit theaters on August 9, 2019, marking the 50th anniversary of the day that the Manson family committed the LaBianca murders.
