Zoe Bell will be working on Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood

Last Updated on August 2, 2021

Some movie news can pretty much be taken as a given as soon as a project is first announced, but it's still nice to get confirmation on these things. Such is the case with stuntwoman/actress Zoe Bell's confirmation that she will be working on writer-director Quentin Tarantino's latest film ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD.

Bell's collaborations with Tarantino began with KILL BILL, where she was Uma Thurman's stunt double. She has been involved in some way with every movie Tarantino has made since. She had a major acting role in his GRINDHOUSE movie DEATH PROOF, did stunts on INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS, and showed up in both DJANGO UNCHAINED and THE HATEFUL EIGHT.

Bell made the confirmation to Mingle Media while walking the red carpet for the premiere of her latest film, GRINGO. She didn't say what she'll be doing on ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD, just that 

I’m gonna be working in some capacity, which I can’t speak to yet, but I’m really excited."

Bell seems especially excited about the cast she'll be working with on this one, like announced stars Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt, as well some who haven't been announced yet: 

I mean, those two (DiCaprio and Pitt) coming aboard and the others I’ve heard sort of percolating, yeah, I’m wondering how the world’s not going to implode with so much genius working in the same space."

ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD tells a story 

that takes place in Los Angeles in 1969, at the height of hippy Hollywood. The two lead characters are Rick Dalton (Leonardo DiCaprio), former 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."

Other actors who have been mentioned as being up for roles include Margot Robbie, Al Pacino, and Tom Cruise.
