Quentin Tarantino's Charles Manson Movie Is Shaping Up to Be a Real Mess
LatestQuentin Tarantino, a man who recently made news for a 2003 interview in which he defends Roman Polanski’s actions on tape, has cast Brad Pitt and Leondardo DiCaprio in his upcoming Sharon Tate violence fantasy, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.
As reported by Deadline, the movie isn’t a direct retelling of the Tate murder, but a loosely-woven fantasia, sprung form the mind of a college film major with a penchant for “gritty realism.” Per Sony, it’s set at the “height of hippy Hollywood” in 1969 and features “Rick Dalton (Leonardo DiCaprio), former star of a western TV series, and his longtime stunt double Cliff Booth (Brad Pitt). Both are struggling to make it in a Hollywood they don’t recognize anymore. But Rick has a very famous next-door neighbor…Sharon Tate.”
