When Quentin Tarantino Comes To Your Neighborhood

When Quentin Tarantino Comes To Your Neighborhood

October 2018 · 2 min read

A few days ago, a very fun transformation happened in my neighborhood. Right now, Quentin Tarantino is shooting his new movie, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. It takes place during the Manson murders in 1969 Los Angeles. I've seen articles about other parts of the city where he's shot already, but was super surprised and excited to see it right next to me!

This entire facade is fake. There are no awnings, neon signs, or an Alligator Bar here. Normally, this is a sports bar/restaurant called 33 Taps.

The Pantages Theater (which now shows touring Broadway musicals) reverted to its days as a Pacific Theater showing theatrical films. On the marquee for Tarantino is a film called 3 In the Attic, which premiered December of 1968. Based on the synopsis of the movie, I'm sure this was a specifically chosen movie for the themes depicted. Another fun fact, the Pantages Theater also hosted the Academy Awards from 1949 to 1959. That means classic films such as All About Eve, From Here to Eternity, and On the Waterfront won Best Picture in this theater.

And of course, it wouldn't be 1969 without the return of one of these relics. Even as a child of the 80's, I didn't grow up with many true phone booths. Sure, there were plenty of pay phones everywhere, but rarely a phone booth. So, even for a few days, it was cool to have one so close to me.

Once Upon a Time in Hollywood has a release date scheduled for July 26, 2019, starring Brad Pitt, Leonardo DiCaprio, Margot Robbie, and Al Pacino. I can't wait to see how all of this is incorporated into the film!
