Beyond the theater marquees, Hollywood landmarks and throwback fashion, Quentin Tarantino’s “Once Upon a Time…in Hollywood” is loaded with “an absurd amount of cars” all meant to capture the period feel of Los Angeles in 1969, according to the film’s picture car coordinator Steven Butcher.
Butcher said he located over 2,000 classic, vintage cars for the production, filling up city streets and parking lots in order to get the look just right. Butcher was 11-years-old growing up in La in 1969 and has been working on cars on films for 30 years, and he says the average film that uses somewhere between 300-500 films doesn’t come close to the challenge he faced on Tarantino’s latest, but Butcher was still up to the challenge.
“I remember La vividly. I grew up right outside of Culver City. I knew what the streets were like. I’m passionate about cars,” Butcher said.
