What Happens Next To Leonardo DiCaprio's Once Upon A Time In Hollywood Character

Quentin Tarantino's Once Upon a Time in Hollywood was one of 2019's most celebrated movies, and it earned 10 Oscar nominations.

While we have to wait a little while longer to see if it wins any, Tarantino has now shared some interesting insight into one character from the movie in particular.

SPOILERS FOR ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD FOLLOW BELOW.

No Caption Provided

Once Upon a Time in Hollywood ends in dramatic fashion, with DiCaprio's character, the ageing actor Rick Dalton, burning some of Charles Manson's followers to a crisp with his flamethrower. He did this to help save his friend and stunt double, Cliff Booth (Brad Pitt).

The movie doesn't make it clear what happens to Dalton in the aftermath of that fateful night, and now Tarantino has filled in some of those details.

He told The Wrap that Dalton's career begins to rise again, thanks to the way in which he murdered the Manson followers.

"The whole incident with the flamethrower and the hippies got a lot of play," Tarantino said. "No one quite knows what a big deal that was, but it was still a big deal. And it’s a big deal that he killed ‘em with the flamethrower, with the prop from one of his most popular movies. So he starts becoming in demand again."

One of Dalton's earlier movies, The 14 Fists of McCluskey, gets put back in rotation on TV, and Dalton gets offered studio movies, albeit lower-budget ones, Tarantino said.

In addition to his surging film popularity, Dalton enjoys a comeback on TV as well. "On the episodic-TV circuit, he's a bigger name now. He’s not quite Darren McGavin, all right? Darren McGavin would get paid the highest you could get paid as a guest star back in that time. But Rick’s about where John Saxon was, maybe just a little bit higher. So he’s getting good money and doing the best shows. And the episodes are all built around him."

Tarantino is clearly invested in and enthusiastic about the wider Once Upon a Time in Hollywood universe. So much so that he told Deadline that he plans to direct a spin-off TV show focused on Dalton's character from the fictional TV show Bounty Law.

MediEvil Review - Bones 'n Brawn

As a remaster of the 1998 puzzle-platformer of the same name, MediEvil holds up reasonably well. Its cartoonishly charming characters and varied, if relatively simplistic, level design both stands the test of time and looks better than ever thanks to a complete graphical overhaul. But as much as MediEvil can feel like a warm blanket of nostalgia--especially for those of us who played the game 21 years ago--it also feels incredibly dated, with jittery controls and camera issues that regularly get in the way of progress. You play as Sir Daniel Fortesque, a dead knight who is returned to life when the sorcerer Zarok makes an unexpected return to Gallowmere, bringing with him hordes of monsters. Fortesque remains every bit as charming a character as he was; his gnarled teeth, warbly voice, and single, rolling eyeball lose none of their charisma in the remastering process. Zarok's design hasn't aged well, though, and the new visuals leave him looking like a plastic doll who’s been

After Pitching Dragon Age Musical DLC, David Gaider Is Finally Getting To Make His Musical Game

Dragon Age lead franchise writer David Gaider is making a new and intriguing-looking musical adventure game Chorus . As it turns out, the veteran game developer--who left BioWare years ago--has been thinking about making a musical game for a long time. In an appearance at the GameSpot Theatre today at PAX Aus about his new game and studio, Gaider said he in fact pitched musical DLC for Dragon Age during his time at BioWare. The musical Dragon Age DLC could have taken place inside the metaphysical Dragon Age realm called The Fade, he said. It was a semi-serious, semi-joking pitch, Gaider said, but whatever the case, it never happened. Gaider is now getting to realize that dream. His new game, Chorus, is a musical adventure game where they big story beats play out through song. Gaider is working on Chorus with Summerfall managing director Liam Esler (former Obsidian, Beamdog developer), while prolific voice actress Laura Bailey (Uncharted, Gears of War) is voicing the main character.
