Lena Dunham & More Join Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time In Hollywood

Quentin Tarantino has added Girls star Lena Dunham and three others to his upcoming film Once Upon a Time In Hollywood. Deadline reports that Dunham, Austin Butler, Maya Hawke, and Lorenza Izzo have joined the film. Details on their roles are not yet known.

The four join a cast that includes Burt Reynolds, Timothy Olyphant, Michael Madsen, Tim Roth, Damian Lewis, Luke Perry, Emile Hirsch, Dakota Fanning, Clifton Collins, Keith Jefferson, Nicholas Hammond, James Marsden, Julia Butters, and Scoot McNairy.

Set in Los Angeles in the summer of 1969, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood focuses on a male TV actor named Rick Dalton DiCaprio who’s had one hit western series and is looking for a way to get into the film business. His sidekick Cliff Booth Pitt — who’s also his stunt double — is looking for the same thing. The horrific murder of Sharon Tate Rick’s neighbor in the film, portrayed by Robbie and four of her friends by Charles Manson’s cult of followers serves as a backdrop to the main story. The movie is said to be similar to a “Pulp Fiction-like tapestry” that covers a group of characters during that summer.

Once Upon a Time in Hollywood releases on August 9th, 2019.
