"Street by street, block by block, we'll transform Los Angeles into the Hollywood of 1969," the director told exhibitors in Las Vegas at CinemaCon.

Quentin Tarantino and Leonardo DiCaprio, taking the stage together Monday at Caesars Palace's Colosseum in Las Vegas, teased exhibitors about their controversial new movie, set in the 1960s when the Manson murders rocked Hollywood. Tarantino promised that the film is "probably the closest to Pulp Fiction that I have done," referring to his breakthrough 1994 film, as he and DiCaprio touted the movie, set for an August 2019 release, at the close of Sony Pictures' presentation of its upcoming movies. The new film, titled Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, not only reunites DiCaprio with Tarantino, following their teaming in 2012's Django Unchained, but also includes Brad Pitt, who starred in the director's 2009 Inglourious Basterds.
