In order to boost the promotion of this film, Quentin Tarantino asked the renowned artist Renato Casaro to come out of retirement, in order to design a series of posters to replicate the 60s/70s Italian style film posters.  Leonardo DiCaprio plays Rick Dalton, a faded western TV star. These posters were pasted on any available hoardings in New York, and in some cases, as many as ten were displayed together. This created a huge impact and started the film's momentum. 

This film was written and directed by Quentin Tarantino and stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Brad Pitt, and Margot Robbie. It is set in Los Angeles in 1969, and shows the life of an actor and his stunt double, as Hollywood moves away from its golden age, and careers change. It is set against changed real-life events of the time.
