    If Quentin Tarantino‘s “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” keeps growing it may literally star everyone who has ever been in Hollywood.

    The 1969-set drama stars Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt as actor Rick Dalton and Rick’s longtime stunt double Cliff Booth, with Margot Robbie as Rick’s famous neighbor Sharon Tate. The backdrop of the film is the Charles Manson murders that would claim the life of pregnant Sharon Tate and four others.

    According to TheWrap, Lena Dunham (“Girls”) has joined the cast in her first major feature film role. She’ll play Gypsy.

    Catherine Louise “Gypsy” Share was a member of the Manson Family, but wasn’t directly involved in the August 1969 Tate murders. She did later testified at the 1970 trial, and served time in prison after a shootout with fellow Family members in 1971.

    Former Disney/Nickelodeon star Austin Butler (“Switched at Birth,” “The Shannara Chronicles“) has also joined the cast as Tex. Charles “Tex” Watson was also a member of the Manson Family, and was directly involved in the Tate murders.

    Maya Hawke — daughter of Ethan Hawke and Uma Thurman — has been cast as the fictional character Flower Child. She’s hot off “Little Women” and her upcoming role in “Stranger Things” Season 3.

    Lorenza Izzo (“Knock, Knock,” “Aftershock”) is a Chilean actress/model, but she will play glamorous Italian movie star Francesca Capucci.

    Actor/martial artist Mike Moh (“Inhumans”) was previously announced to be joining the cast as Bruce Lee, who worked with Sharon Tate and was briefly investigated for the Manson murders.

    The film has already shared first look photos of DiCaprio and Pitt in character (see above) and Margot Robbie as Sharon Tate.

    “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” is scheduled to be released on July 26, 2019.

  • ‘Stranger Things’ Season 3: Maya Hawke Shares Behind-the-Scenes Photo With Joe Keery

    “Stranger Things” Season 3 is bringing in newcomers, and they’re making themselves at home.

    Maya Hawke has been filming with her new cast mates in Atlanta, Georgia, and she took the opportunity to give the fandom a thrill on Tuesday. The actress posted a behind-the-scenes photo via Instagram that shows her, dressed as her character, Robin, working alongside Joe Keery, who plays Steve Harrington. It looks like they’re hard at work at Scoops Ahoy.

    Thanks to a promo video that was released Monday, we had already been introduced to Scoops Ahoy. The ice cream shop is in a new mall that is opening in Hawkins, Indiana, the fictional town where “Stranger Things” takes place. The promo showed Robin and Joe working there, but neither looked too happy about it, in either the video or in the new photo.

    We don’t know too much about Robin yet, but she’s described as “an alternative girl” who is both smart and fun-loving. She’s also supposed to dislike her day job, which fits with what we’ve seen so far. That said, though, she’s has more excitement waiting for her after she learns a dark secret, and we suspect that’ll come through her connection to Steve. Her life might be turned Upside Down, so to speak.

    “Stranger Things” Season 3 is expected to premiere in 2019, so we’ll be seeing a lot more of Hawke then.
