These photos may not reveal much in terms of Once Upon a Time in Hollywood plot details, but it's still fun for viewers to get a new look at the film. The biggest takeaway is that Tarantino has once again faithfully recreated a historical period, going the extra mile to make his 1969 feel as authentic as possible. DiCaprio's Dalton (presumably) singing and dancing on a program called Hullabaloo looks like it was taken straight from this era, suggesting the production design and costumes will be top notch. In addition to scripting memorable dialogue, Tarantino has always thrived at drawing audiences into his sandbox by crafting standout locations and environments (see: Jack Rabbit Slims in Pulp Fiction). Based on the pictures, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood should wow moviegoers with its impressive scope to complement all of the usual Tarantino sensibilities audiences expect.

Distributor Sony certainly feels like the project is a winner, opting to release it in the thick of the summer movie season. Obviously, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is going for a different target demographic than something like The Lion King or Spider-Man: Far From Home, but the fact the studio's releasing it in July speaks to the confidence they have in it being something special. After all, the last time a Tarantino movie came out at the end of summer, it was 2009's Inglourious Basterds and that became one of the most acclaimed offerings of the auteur's career. Surely, Sony is hoping Once Upon a Time in Hollywood can deliver similar results.
