ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD - Official Teaser Trailer (HD)_ by [Melissa Locker](https://time.com/author/melissa-locker/) ## Melissa Locker May 23, 2019 2:09 PM UTC ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD - Official Teaser Trailer (HD) by [Melissa Locker](https://time.com/author/melissa-locker/) ## Melissa Locker May 23, 2019 2:09 PM UTC [Quentin Tarantino](http://time.com/4990423/quentin-tarantino-harvey-weinstein-knew-about-allegations/)’s new film _Once Upon a Time … in Hollywood_ had its world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival on Tuesday, and some members of the audience walked away with a few questions. Specifically, why didn’t actress [Margot Robbie](http://time.com/4989804/margot-robbie-tonya-harding-movie-trailer/?iid=sr-link2) have many speaking lines? The film, which revolves around Hollywood during the Manson Family era and the August 1969 murder of the actress Sharon Tate, who Robbie plays, runs 2 hours and 40 minutes. However, [according to _Vulture_](https://www.vulture.com/2019/05/on-margot-robbies-role-in-once-upon-a-time-in-hollywood.html), the Oscar-winning actress “has relatively few lines of dialogue in the film… Robbie’s character is often pointedly silent in the film, even during some of her key scenes.” > [](https://twitter.com/fnayeri/status/1131279530994360322) The silence is pointed enough that [_New York Times_ reporter](https://www.nytimes.com/2019/05/22/movies/quentin-tarantino-margot-robbie.html) Farah Nayeri [took a moment](https://twitter.com/fnayeri/status/1131279530994360322) at a press conference to ask the actor and director about what “must have been a deliberate choice.” Tarantino was not having it, though. “I just reject your hypotheses,” he replied, and according to the reporter, “said no more.” [Robbie](http://time.com/4867367/cara-delevingne-margot-robbie-tattoo/) gave a more diplomatic and longer response, telling the reporter that, “I think the moments that I got onscreen gave an opportunity to honor Sharon and her lightness. I don’t think it was intended to delve deeper.” The film, which also stars Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt, has otherwise been well-received by critics.

So [00:12] Rick explain to the audience what exactly it is a stunt [00:15] double does? Actors are required to a lot of dangerous [00:18] stuff. [ MUSIC ] [00:22] Cliff here is meant to help carry the load. Is that how you [00:25] describe your job Cliff? What? Carrying his load? Yeah, it's [00:29] about right. [ LAUGH ] [ LAUGH ] [ MUSIC ] [ MUSIC ] My [00:47] hands are registered as lethal weapons. We get into a [00:50] fight, I accidentally kill you I go to jail. Anybody [00:55] accidentally kills anybody in the fight to go to jail. It's called [00:58] man slaughter. [ MUSIC ] [ MUSIC ] And, cut!
