Quentin Tarantino’s “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” has been added to the competition lineup of this month’s Cannes Film Festival, general delegate Thierry Frémaux announced Thursday.“We were afraid the film would not be ready, as it wouldn’t be released until late July, but Quentin Tarantino, who has not left the editing room in four months, is a real, loyal and punctual child of Cannes!” Fremaux said in a statement.“Like for ‘Inglourious Basterds,’ he’ll definitely be there — 25 years after the Palme d’or for ‘Pulp Fiction’ — with a finished film screened in 35mm and his cast in tow (Leonardo DiCaprio, Margot Robbie, Brad Pitt). His film is a love letter to the Hollywood of his childhood, a rock music tour of 1969, and an ode to cinema as a whole.”Also Read: Tarantino's 'Once Upon a Time in Hollywood' Teaser Drops Timely Clues It Goes Back Way Before the Manson Murders“Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” is set in Hollywood in 1969 and follows a fading TV actor (DiCaprio) who teams up with his stunt double (Pitt) to reclaim fame during Hollywood’s final years of its golden age.

It isn’t hard to make Brad Pitt and Leonardo DiCaprio look like the coolest people in the room, but the first official poster for “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” certainly tries.
Sony teased Quentin Tarantino’s ninth film with a simple look at the film’s two male stars standing tall and looking boss in their vintage threads.
It’s Hollywood in 1969, and DiCaprio plays a faded TV actor who, along with his stunt double, strives to achieve fame and success in the film industry during the final years of Hollywood’s Golden Age.
Oh, and Charles Manson might show up as well. That should get interesting.
Margot Robbie co-stars in the film as Sharon Tate, and “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” also features a typically loaded Tarantino cast, including Margaret Qualley, Scoot McNairy, Dakota Fanning, Timothy Olyphant, Kurt Russell, Emile Hirsch, Tim Roth, James Marsden, Damian Lewis, Lorenza Izzo, Sydney Sweeney, Rumer Willis, Clifton Collins, Jr., Michael Masden, Zoe Bell, Bruce Dern, Harley Quinn Smith, Lena Dunham, Danny Strong, the late Luke Perry, and Damon Herriman as Charles Manson.

The first electric vehicle I ever drove was a Tesla Roadster in 2011. It was with great anticipation that I slid behind the wheel of the 2025 Acura ZDX Type S. Sure, it's a midsize SUV, but it wears the Type S moniker, a name reserved only for the most fun-to-drive in the Acura stable. On launch, the ZDX will be available in A-Spec and Type S trims -- both of which come equipped with a 102 kWh battery.
