Quentin Tarantino | AFPLast month, Fremaux hinted he would hold the door open for the maker of "Reservoir Dogs" until the very last minuteQuentin Tarantino's much-anticipated new film "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" will run in competition at this month's Cannes film festival, organisers said Thursday, after initial doubt over whether it would be shown. The film, which stars Brad Pitt, Leonardo DiCaprio and Margot Robbie, will compete against works by veteran directors Ken Loach and Terrence Malick for the coveted Palme d'Or at the festival which begins on May 14. "We were afraid the film would not be ready," festival director Thierry Fremaux said, adding that Tarantino had finished it early after spending four straight months in the editing room. "He'll definitely be there -- 25 years after the Palme d'Or for 'Pulp Fiction' -- with a finished film screened in 35mm and his cast in tow," he said. Last month, Fremaux hinted he would hold the door open for the maker of "Reservoir Dogs" until the very last minute.
