Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is currently riding high after its big Golden Globes win, and it sounds like a longer version could be on the way. The 161-minute film was the subject of a Q&A with Quentin Tarantino, Brad Pitt, and Leonardo DiCaprio after a screening on Monday (per Collider) and Tarantino confirmed reports that a four-hour cut of the film was produced.

“It’s all good. It’s all great,” Tarantino said. “I don’t know if an audience would sit for it, but I love it. So we showed it to Tom Rothman and it was like, ‘OK, here this all is. We know that this is a movie, but maybe you can help us out because we like everything.’”

Pitt then stepped in and said, “The real question is are we going to get to see this one way or another?” While Tarantino didn’t say a hard yes, he did suggest that the longer version could be on the way, saying:

“Hey look, it’s all good so once this whole thing is said and done, maybe in a year’s time, we probably will.”

The film, Tarantino’s ninth, picked up three awards at the Golden Globes on Sunday including Best Film (Musical or Comedy), Best Supporting Actor (Brad Pitt) and Best Screenplay (Tarantino). It is likely to bring home a host of nominations when the Oscar nods are announced next Monday.
