THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER 33 JULY 31, 2019

Hollywood Night

Quentin Tarantino’s (4)

ninth film — a revisionist

love letter to 1969 L.A.

— received a hometown

reception in classic

Hollywood style, complete

with a faux studio sound-

stage and retro-costumed

staffers. And then there

were the movie stars:

Brad Pitt (1), Leonardo

DiCaprio (3) and Margot

Robbie (2) arrived to

deafening screams from

Hollywood Boulevard.

For his part, Tarantino

appeared press shy,

though Sony chief To m

Rothman (4) was keen

to talk about his auteur:

“There’s a lot of heart in

the film, and he has a lot

of heart.” — CHRIS GARDNER

Fading to Black

Shortly before the seventh

season of Orange Is the

New Black, Netflix’s Te d

Sarandos (10) ended

the company’s quarterly

earnings call by thanking

Jenji Kohan (9) “for her

incredible vision.” Of the

streaming giant’s 151 mil-

lion paid subscribers,

105 million have watched

at least one episode of

Orange, Netflix claims —

and hundreds of those

viewers lined up outside

Lincoln Center for its final

premiere. Taking the stage

to introduce Kohan, exec

Cindy Holland summed

up the journey by saying:

“Season one, episode

one was called ‘I Wasn’t

Ready.’ I realize now that I,

too, am not entirely ready.

It’s really hard to say

goodbye.” — JACKIE STRAUSE

Latinx Factor

“There was no forcing or

checking the box of diver-

sity if you represent Dora

and her natural culture,”

Eva Longoria (13) told

THR of the film’s all-Latinx

cast at the Regal Cinemas

debut of Dora and the

Lost City of Gold. Director

James Bobin (16) added

that casting Latinx actors

for Paramount’s live-action

film was a must. Isabela

Moner (14), who plays the

beloved Nickelodeon char-

acter, said that the film also

shows a different, “super

girly” side of bravery.
