Hollywood Reimagined

In this modern retelling of "Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood," up-and-coming actor Jayden Mitchell (Jharrel Jerome, known for "Moonlight" and "When They See Us") and his stunt double, best friend, and roommate, Casey Jones (Aubrey Plaza, known for "Parks and Recreation" and "Ingrid Goes West"), navigate the quickly evolving landscape of 2020s Hollywood. The duo faces challenges in their diverse industry, from portraying accurate representation on screen to promoting women's rights and breaking through traditionally male-dominated roles.

Jayden, an environmentally conscious star, uses his fame platform to advocate for sustainable practices within the film industry, garnering support from big-time director Kennedy Lopez (Eiza Gonzalez, known for "Baby Driver" and "I Care a Lot"). The three embark on creating a groundbreaking environmentally friendly action film with an emphasis on inclusivity, touching upon relevant social issues of gender equality and LGBTQ+ rights. Jayden finds romantic interest in costar Alex (Keiynan Lonsdale, known for "Love, Simon" and "The Flash"), as they bond over shared experiences and challenges as BIPOC members in Hollywood.

Casey, meanwhile, discovers her own unique trajectory in Hollywood by championing for female stunt performers and assisting with the development of a streaming series that showcases diverse, complex female characters' storylines. The series catches the attention of producer and former child star Roxanne Park (Awkwafina, known for "Crazy Rich Asians" and "The Farewell").

As a tribute to the original film, Margot Robbie and Leonardo DiCaprio make small, unimportant cameo appearances in a scene where Jayden bumps into them at a crowded industry party, providing fan-service for those who enjoyed the 2019 masterpiece.

This reinterpretation weaves modern references, diverse casting, and updated settings, offering fresh perspectives on the original story while preserving its essence of providing a unique lens into the world of Hollywood.
