Al Pacino Joins the Star-Filled Cast of Quentin Tarantino's ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD

Al Pacino joins the star-filled cast of Quentin Tarantino's upcoming film Once Upon A Time In Hollywood, Deadline reports.

Damian Lewis, Luke Perry, Emile Hirsch, Dakota Fanning, Clifton Collins Jr, Keith Jefferson and Nicholas Hammond have been added to the film in supporting roles for a lineup that already includes Leonardo DiCaprio, Brad Pitt, Margot Robbie, Burt Reynolds, Timothy Olyphant, Michael Madsen and Tim Roth.

Tarantino's film has been referred to as a Pulp Fiction-like tapestry stories with characters around LA in the summer of 1969, before the Manson murders were committed. Sony Pictures stepped up to acquire the film and it is set for August 9, 2019 release worldwide. Sony described the film as a story that takes place in Los Angeles in 1969, at the height of hippy Hollywood. The two lead characters are Rick Dalton (DiCaprio), former star of a western TV series, and his longtime stunt double Cliff Booth (Pitt). Both are struggling to make it in a Hollywood they don't recognize anymore. But Rick has a very famous next-door neighbor Sharon Tate.

Academy Award, Tony Award, Emmy Award, and Golden Globe Award winner Al Pacino, a force to be reckoned with on both stage and screen, is one of the most exemplary American actors of all time. With a celebrated 50-year career that stands the test of time, Mr. Pacino has brought to life explosive, gritty and iconic characters. In The Godfather, Glengarry Glen Ross, Serpico, Salome, American Buffalo, Angels in America, Scent of a Woman, The Merchant of Venice, And Justice for All, Dick Tracy, The Basic Training of Pavlo Hummel and Scarface, Mr. Pacino created a memorable gallery of historic performances. These are a mere handful of his acclaimed credits. With a Tony Award-winning debut in Does a Tiger Wear a Necktie? (1969), Mr. Pacino created a name for himself first on Broadway-and has kept both movie and theatre goers riveted ever since. Pacino was last seen on Broadway in David Mamet's China Doll.
