With iconic films like Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, Jackie Brown, Kill Bill, Death Proof, Inglorious Basterds, Django Unchained and The Hateful Eight already in his incredible filmography, are you ready for the ninth film from Quentin Tarantino?
His latest sprawling cinematic tale is called once Upon a Time in... Hollywood, and has been described as a love letter to L.A.'s 1960s film industry.
The movie features an all-star ensemble cast including Leonardo DiCaprio, Brad Pitt, Margot Robbie, Al Pacino, the late Luke Perry, Timothy Olyphant, Mike Moh, Margaret Qualley, Sayuri the dog as 'Brandy' and even more regular Tarantino collaborators.
Set in 1969 Los Angeles, the film follows faded TV star 'Rick Dalton' (DiCaprio) and his longtime stunt double and best friend, 'Cliff Booth' (Pitt) in the final years of an alternate timeline of Hollywood's Golden Age where everything is changing.

Touching on famous names from Tinseltown, Margot Robbie stars as 'Sharon Tate' the actress wife of director Roman Polanski and Mike Moh is martial arts screen legend 'Bruce Lee, whilst Al Pacino plays Dalton's agent and Hollywood producer, 'Marvin Schwarzs'.
Trying to resuscitate his struggling career Dalton stars in TV shows and Spaghetti Westerns, and with all the multiple interweaving storylines, his and Booth's paths also cross members of the Manson family.

This film also marks the final role of Beverly Hills, 90210 star, Luke Perry, after his death in March.
As ever Tarantino's comedy-drama sounds as bonkers and inventive as ever, surely making for an amazing summer spectacle.
This abundance of billboards for the movie were photographed along the Sunset Strip, La Brea Avenue, Venice Boulevard, Pico Boulevard, Highland Avenue and Olympic Boulevard from July 1 to July 15, 2019.

As you can see from all of these outdoor ads, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood has pretty much taken over the infamous Sunset Strip this month, with even more billboards in the surrounding L.A. landscape.


The out-of-home ad campaign includes a smattering of character billboards, giant-sized wallscapes on the sides of the Andaz Hotel and special neon sign installations to make the film stand out by day and night.
Obviously cutting ties with the disgraced Harvey Weinstein and having your new film distributed by Sony Pictures has its advantages.
Fans of the visionary filmmaker can also check out this billboards for Django Unchained and The Hateful Eight.
Meanwhile admirers of the actors can check out these Brad Pitt movie billboards (like World War Z, Allied, Fury, Moneyball and War Machine), these Leonardo DiCaprio movie billboards (like The Revenant, The Wolf of Wall Street, The Great Gatsby and Inception) and these Margot Robbie billboards for films like I, Tonya, Suicide Squad and Focus.
Let's wait and see if this original Hollywood fairytale will be as classic as the Quentin Tarantino films that have come before it.
Not competing with Disney's The Lion King family audience and opening a week before the Fast and Furious action spin-off, Hobbs & Shaw, will this be Tarantino's chance for his biggest Hollywood box office success story to date?
