Audiences eagerly anticipate Margot Robbie's portrayal of the iconic Sharon Tate in Quentin Tarantino's film, "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood."
According to the acclaimed filmmaker, Robbie was not just a casting choice but the only option he could envision to bring the beloved actress to life on screen.
In an interview with the magazine, Tarantino revealed that Robbie's selection was a hands-on decision, emphasizing that she was the perfect fit for the role.
Robbie's commitment to the project was evident when she personally reached out to Tarantino with a heartfelt letter expressing her admiration for his work and her desire to collaborate.
"One of the luckiest things that happened to me during the production of this film was that I made it at that exact moment, with Margot available in the industry. What I mean is that she was the perfect choice, to the point where I had no second option.
And towards the end of the script production, out of the blue, I received a letter and it was from Margot. She said she was a big fan of my films and would love the opportunity to be in one of them. I took that as a good sign," Tarantino explained.
Given Tarantino's distinctive visual style and the central role of Sharon Tate's story in the film, it comes as no surprise that "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" has received an adult rating, attributed to strong language, s---al content, and intense violence.
