Once Upon A Time In Hollywood Star Reveals Tarantino’s #1 Goal On Set
Once Upon a Time in Hollywood star Austin Butler reveals Quentin Tarantino's #1 goal on his movie sets. After delivering a blood-soaked Western with The Hateful Eight, Tarantino set his sights on 1960s Hollywood for his next film, using Once Upon a Time in Hollywood to tell the intertwining stories of failing actor Rick Dalton (Leonardo DiCaprio), his stuntman Cliff Booth (Brad Pitt), and real-life movie star Sharon Tate (Margot Robbie). The film was a hit with audiences and critics and earned over $374 million at the box office.
Butler plays Tate's real-life murderer, Tex Watson, in the film, although things turn out much differently for Charles Manson's followers in Tarantino's version of events. After being introduced in a standout sequence at Spahn Ranch, Tex and his companions set out to murder Tate, but are all brutally dispatched by Booth when they invade Dalton's house instead. Butler's next big role following his dark turn in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is another period piece, this time seeing the actor take on the role of the King himself in Baz Luhrmann's Elvis.
