Margot Robbie says there's a '20-hour cut' of 'Once Upon a Time in Hollywood'
- Margot Robbie says that there's a "20-hour cut" of "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood."
- "There's so much more that you didn't get to see, that we shot that was amazing," Robbie said.
- The actress was speaking to Variety about her work as a producer on "Promising Young Woman."
Margot Robbie said in a recent interview with Variety that there's a "20-hour cut" of "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood."
The actress, who also helped produce Emerald Fennell's Oscar-nominated film "Promising Young Woman," was asked about a possible extended cut of David Ayer's 2016 film "Suicide Squad," in which she played villain Harley Quinn.
"For personal reasons, I'd love to watch the five-hour cut of every movie I've ever done," Robbie joked. She also revealed that there was a longer version of 2019's "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood," which was directed by Quentin Tarantino and starred Robbie, Brad Pitt, and Leonardo DiCaprio.
"There's a 20-hour cut of 'Once Upon a Time in Hollywood' that would... there's so much more that you didn't get to see, that we shot that was amazing, and for a million reasons obviously, can't make the cut," Robbie said.
In Tarantino's film, Robbie played real-life film star Sharon Tate, who was murdered while eight months pregnant by members of the Manson family.
Other historical figures, including Charles Manson and Bruce Lee, are portrayed in the film, alongside fictional characters. It won best picture at the 92nd Academy Awards, and Pitt took home the Oscar for best supporting actor for his role as fictional stunt double Cliff Booth.
While it's unclear whether Robbie was jokingly exaggerating about the length of a potential extended cut, Tarantino's films are known for their long runtimes (his "Kill Bill" films were planned as one, but later split into separate movies). The director even hinted last year that a four-hour cut of "One Upon a Time in Hollywood" could be available to view soon.
The filmmaker is also reportedly interested in making a TV series starring Leonardo DiCaprio and based on "Bounty Law" - the fictional, 1950s-style Western show that made DiCaprio's character in "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" famous.
