Quentin Tarantino Movie Set

One of the trails we often walk Scout & Angus on is Corriganville, an old movie set that is two miles from our home in Simi Valley, California.  Today the park was closed to film Western cowboy scenes for Quentin Tarantino’s epic film, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.  Tarantino’s 10-year passion project is a composite of overlapping stories taking place in the film industry at a time when old Hollywood began to collide with new Hollywood.
The film will be a story about the Charles Manson murders that takes place in Los Angeles in 1969, at the height of hippie Hollywood. The two lead characters are Rick Dalton (Leonardo DiCaprio),  cowboy star of a Western TV series, and his longtime stunt double Cliff Booth (Brad Pitt). Both are struggling to make it in a Hollywood they don’t recognize anymore. But Rick has a very famous next-door neighbor … Sharon Tate. (played by Margot Robbie).  The scenes they are setting up for are for the cowboy TV series within the movie and scenes from Box Canyon where Charles Manson and his gang lived.
Exterior scenes of this film could have been created on a soundstage using stock footage and computer-generated imagery, but Tarantino chose the mountains of Simi, Box Canyon and the streets of Los Angeles as his canvas. It should be released at the end of the year.

Here is a look at a few scenes that were shot on Hollywood Boulevard. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-BDbdkFGRJg
