Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood gets a ‘movie within the movie’ poster

May 17, 2019 by Amie Cranswick

Columbia Pictures has kicked off what will hopefully be the start of a new series of posters for Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, which sees Leonardo DiCaprio’s TV actor Rick Dalton featured on a retro-style faux poster for the ‘movie within the movie’ Operazione Dyn-O-Mite!
