Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (2019)

I'm reading Helter Skelter right now. I have the most perfect Tarantino-esque opening scene to this film all figured out in my head.

do you want to know more?

Opening scene in the guesthouse behind the Tate home. It's midnight.

William Garretson (caretaker of the guesthouse) and Steven Parent (a friend) are in the guesthouse. Steven is trying to convince William to buy the stereo he brought over. Queue long drawn out banter about stereos and music and sound quality in a Taranteo-esque conversation a la Reservoir Dogs like a virgin or Pulp Fiction foot massages.

William decides he doesn't want to get a new stereo. Slightly annoyed, Steven decides to call it a night, picks up the stereo and walks back to his car. Camera follows Steven all the way back to his car which is parked out front by the main Tate house. Scene is lit by outdoor lamps around the pool, lights on to the garage, and lights on front porch in the front of the house.

Without cutting away, we move into a shot looking through the passenger window of Steven getting into his car. Steven lights a cigarette, turns on the car, cranks the radio. Cream SWLABR plays loudly. You can see through Steven's driver side window in the distance, two people running out of the main house onto the front law. Two others follow the first two, knock them over on the lawn and begin what looks to be a brutal stabbing. This scene is slightly blurry in the distance. Steve doesn't notice the commotion with the loud music playing and is fiddling with the stereo in his car.

Still in the shot looking through the windows of the car, one of the stabbers looks up and notices Steven. This person stand up and walks calmly to the car. Steve still hasn't noticed any of the happenings outside. Once the person gets to his window you see that it's a beautiful young women ... she knocks on the car window and smiles. Steve looks and sees covered in blood. Steve rolls down the window and is about to say "what the fuck happened?!" when she raises a gun to his head and blows his brains out. Music continues to play.

This cuts back to William lying on his couch with big headphones on plugged into his record player. Eyes closed. Nodding his head. Smoking a joint.

Also, it was Tex Watson, not one of the girls that shot Parent (also it was four times in the chest not the head) so you're already off into re-writting the entire thing!

This will be my Tarantino inaccuracy, son!

If Hitler can die in a movie theatre then hot Manson chicks can shoot Parent

I wonder if QT will build an entire replica of the Tate murder house.

Damn good research on that shit son but all you gave me were a couple of storyboards based on books already written. Give me the MEAT. Some dialog and exposition from the personal point of view.

Also, it was Tex Watson, not one of the girls that shot Parent (also it was four times in the chest not the head) so you're already off into re-writting the entire thing!

Alright - I've got some revisions

First, the music. It should prob be White Album. Or would that be too on the nose? Level 10 on the nose would be using Helter Skelter, even though it's a badass song.

Second, can switch to Tex doing the knocking on window and shooting. Also no need for people being murdered in the BG since Steven was the first to die. Just have them run over to the car, hot girls in background.

*thinks*

I get the feeling the remaining Beatles will never allow this

STUDENT FILM!!!!
