Monday morning was especially happy for pop culture fans thanks to the teaser poster dropped to hype up fans in the months leading up to Quentin Tarantino’s highly anticipated flick starring [Pitt](http://time.com/5478745/amy-adams-brad-pitt/) and human meme machine [DiCaprio](http://time.com/4298225/leonardo-dicaprio-2016-time-100/). In _Once Upon a Time in Hollywood_, Pitt and DiCaprio play two buddies striving for greatness in 1969 Los Angeles. DiCaprio plays Rick Dalton a _former_ (operative word, former) star of a western TV show, while Pitt plays his trusty longtime stunt double, Cliff Booth. For the image, the two throwback heartthrobs struck poses next to a car against a sun-saturated vintage Hollywood backdrop. Confidence is oozed. Clearly, this dynamic duo is already onto something because the remixes popping up from people feel both humorous and reverent. > [](https://twitter.com/ditzkoff/status/1107659184651284482) Photoshop-savvy social media users quickly began dedicating themselves to new and improved posters.
