Tarantino's 'Once Upon a Time in Hollywood' Will Premiere at Cannes
25 years after Quentin Tarantino's "Pulp Fiction" won the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival, he'll reportedly be unveiling "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" at the same fest.
It's not official yet, but sources tell the THR that Tarantino's star-studded 9th film will have its world premiere during the fest -- possibly on May 21, which would make it 25 years to the day since "Pulp Fiction" debuted.
The prestigious French film festival runs May 14-25.
Leonardo DiCaprio, Brad Pitt and Margot Robbie head up the all-star cast, which is set in 1969 Los Angeles at the time of the Manson murders.
"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," Tarantino has said of the film. "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 and Pitt."
Previous Tarantino players Kurt Russell, Tim Roth, Michael Madsen, and Bruce Dern round out the cast, along with Al Pacino, Timothy Olyphant, Dakota Fanning and the late Luke Perry.
"Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" opens in the U.S. on July 26.
