QUENTIN TARANTINO is keeping things in the family. The Oscar-winning filmmaker has tapped none other than Maya Hawke, daughter of Uma Thurman, for his new film “Once Upon a Time In Hollywood.” Thurman has notably been the leading lady in several of Tarantino’s films. It’s the latest casting in what has been a great year for Hawke, who in March was revealed to be headed to Hawkins for season three of Netflix’s “Stranger Things.” Besides Hawke, Tarantino has also hired “Girls” star and creator Lena Dunham, as well as Austin Butler (“The Shannara Chronicles”) and Lorenza Izzo (“Green Inferno”) to be in the film. The film is set in 1969 Los Angeles, where onetime TV star Rick Dalton (Leonardo DiCaprio) and his longtime stunt double Cliff Booth (Brad Pitt) make their way in an industry they hardly recognize anymore. The ninth film from the writer-director features a large ensemble cast and multiple storylines in a tribute to the final moments of Hollywood’s golden age. Also on the cast are Margot Robbie, Dakota Fanning and Al Pacino, among others. (SD-Agencies) |
