Brad Pitt Joins Leonardo DiCaprio In Tarantino’s Manson Movie, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood

March 1, 2018 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

A few weeks ago it was revealed that Leo DiCaprio was reteaming with director Quentin Tarantino for his film that takes place in LA at the time of the Charles Manson murders. Now he’s bagged another big name he’s worked with before, as Brad Pitt has also joined the movie, according to Variety.

We also now have a Sergio Leone-esque name for the film – Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.

Not too much is known about the exact plot of the film, except that it will be a, ‘Pulp Fiction-esque movie set in the 1969 Los Angeles during the summer of the Manson murders.’ DiCaprio is set to be former TV western star, Rick Dalton, with Pitt as his longtime stunt double, Cliff Booth.

Tarantino says of the characters, “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.”

He adds, “I’ve been working on this script for five years, as well as living in Los Angeles County most of my life, including in 1969, when I was 7 years old. I’m very excited to tell this story of an L.A., and a Hollywood that don’t exist anymore. And I couldn’t be happier about the dynamic teaming of DiCaprio & Pitt as Rick & Cliff.”

The film will be released during August 2019, exactly 50 years after the murder of Sharon Tate by Charles Manson’s ‘family’.

Leonardo DiCaprio Signs Up For Quentin Tarantino’s Charles Manson Movie

January 13, 2018 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Leonardo DiCaprio must have enjoyed his time working with Quentin Tarantino of Django Unchained, as Deadline reports that he signed on to star in the director’s upcoming Charles Manson based movie. DiCaprio has been having a self-imposed career break, as he hasn’t actually filmed a movie since The Revenant. However, with the Manson movie expected to shoot later this year, it will mark his first film since his Oscar-winning role.

Not much is known about the exact role DiCaprio will play, except that he’s an aging actor in a ‘Pulp Fiction-esque movie set in the 1969 Los Angeles during the summer of the Manson murders.’ The exacty set-up of the movie is being kept under wraps, but it is known it will deal directly with the Manson murders, as Margot Robbie has been approached to play actress Sharon Tate, the wife of director ROman Polanski, who was brutally killed while she was heavily pregnant.

Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt have also been circling the project, although it’s not known if they will sign onto the movie. The movie is due out August 2019, which will be 50 years since the Manson killings.

Quentin Tarantino Is Planning A Movie About The Manson Family Murders

July 12, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Quentin Tarantino likes to take his time to ensure he gets to make the movie he wants in the way he wants. It means that since Reservoir Dogs in 1992, we’ve only had 9 movies from him the the last quarter of a century.

Now he’s decided what he wants his 10th feature film to be, and it’ll be about the Manson Family Murders. THR first reported the news, saying it will be a unique take on the imfamous killings. Not a vast amount is known about the specifics of the movie, although it’s said, ‘One of the stories centers on Sharon Tate, the actress and wife of director Roman Polanski who was murdered by Manson and his followers in 1969.

‘Manson had ordered a group of his followers to attack the inhabitants of a house in the Benedict Canyon part of Los Angeles, believing it was owned by a record producer who earlier had rejected him. Over the course of several hours on the night of Aug. 8, the four followers, using guns and knives, brutally killed Tate, who was eight months pregnant, and four other occupants.

‘In 1971, Manson and certain members of his crew were sentenced to life imprisonment for these and several other murders committed that summer.’

Tarantino is apparently already meeting actors about the project, with the likes of Brad Pitt, Jennifer Lawrence and Margot Robbie all said to be in the mix. We’ll have to wait a while to see the movie though, as it’s not likely to shoot until summer 2018.

November 6, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Synopsis: In THE HATEFUL EIGHT, set six or eight or twelve years after the Civil War, a stagecoach hurtles through the wintry Wyoming landscape. The passengers, bounty hunter John Ruth (Russell) and his fugitive Daisy Domergue (Leigh), race towards the town of Red Rock where Ruth, known in these parts as “The Hangman,” will bring Domergue to justice.

Along the road, they encounter two strangers: Major Marquis Warren (Jackson), a black former union soldier turned infamous bounty hunter, and Chris Mannix (Goggins), a southern renegade who claims to be the town’s new Sheriff. Losing their lead on the blizzard, Ruth, Domergue, Warren and Mannix seek refuge at Minnie’s Haberdashery, a stagecoach stopover on a mountain pass. When they arrive at Minnie’s, they are greeted not by the proprietor but by four unfamiliar faces.

Bob (Bichir), who’s taking care of Minnie’s while she’s visiting her mother, is holed up with Oswaldo Mobray (Roth), the hangman of Red Rock, cow-puncher Joe Gage (Madsen), and Confederate General Sanford Smithers (Dern). As the storm overtakes the mountainside stopover, our eight travelers come to learn they may not make it to Red Rock after all…

The movie will be in cinemas early next year.

Channing Tatum Circling Tarantino’s Hateful Eight

November 6, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Tarantino may have had a major hissy fit after the script for Hateful Eight leaked and said he wasn’t going to make the film, but he’s since changed his mind and is now putting his cast together. The latest name to join the throng is Channing Tatum, who is circling a major role according to Deadline.

Samuel L. Jackson, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Bruce Dern, Tim Roth, Michael Madsen and Kurt Russell are already set to star in the film, which is set in Wyoming shortly after the Civil War. It’s about a group of eight people who during a blizzard hole up in a store while they wait to be able to get out. However as the title suggests, things soon get out of control partly due to the fact these aren’t the nicest of people.

Tarantino plans to start shooting the movie in early 2015 (assuming no one else leaks anything and he gets pissed off again, of course). It should be in cinemas by the end of the year.

Quentin Tarantino Abandons The Hateful Eight After The Script Gets Leaked

January 22, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

In what may be the biggest case of throwing the baby out with the bathwater in recent Hollywood memory, Quentin Tarantino has revealed he’s shelved what was likely to be his next movie, The Hateful Eight, after the script leaked. Normally this would be an annoyance but wouldn’t stop a film moving forward, but for Quentin it’s enough to get him to stop working on it as a movie.

The director only recently finished the first draft of the western and was eyeing Christoph Waltz and Bruce Dern for roles in the film. The filmmaker apparently gave his script to six people, including Django Unchained executive producer Reginald Hudlin and actors Tim Roth, Michael Madsen and Bruce Dern. It appears it got out after one of them passed it to their agent to read.

Talking to Deadline, Tarantino says, “I’m very, very depressed. I finished a script, a first draft, and I didn’t mean to shoot it until next winter, a year from now. I gave it to six people, and apparently it’s gotten out today…

“I gave it to one of the producers on Django Unchained, Reggie Hudlin, and he let an agent come to his house and read it. That’s a betrayal, but not crippling because the agent didn’t end up with the script. There is an ugly maliciousness to the rest of it. I gave it to three actors: Michael Madsen, Bruce Dern, Tim Roth. The one I know didn’t do this is Tim Roth. One of the others let their agent read it and that agent has now passed it on to everyone in Hollywood. I don’t know how these fucking agents work, but I’m not making this next. I’m going to publish it, and that’s it for now. I give it out to six people and if I can’t trust them to that degree, then I have no desire to make it. I’ll publish it. I’m done. I’ll move on to the next thing. I’ve got ten more where that came from.”

Quentin apparently suspects the leak came through Bruce Dern’s agent, although he holds nothing against the actor himself. Dern’s agency vehemently denies the claim.

There is a possibility he’s just having a hissy fit and he’ll change his mind, as he acknowledges, “I could totally change my mind, I own the fucking thing. But I can tell you, it’s not going to be the next thing I do. It’s my baby, and if the muse calls me later to do it, we’ll do it. I was thinking about the idea of maybe publishing it before I made it, but now that deal happens for sure, and I’m not doing it next. The idea was, I was going to write two scripts. I wasn’t going to shoot the Western until next winter, and I have been full of piss and vinegar about the other one. So now I’ll do that one.”

As yet we don’t know what that other one will be.

Quentin Tarantino’s Next Is Called The Hateful Eight, With Christoph Waltz & Bruce Dern Sought To Star

January 13, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

A couple of months ago it was revealed that Quentin Tarantino was planning to stay in the western genre for his next movie, and now we know what it’s probably going to be called. Deadline reports the director has finished the first draft of his latest screenplay, which is is currently known as The Hateful Eight.

There are no story details have been revealed at this time, but it’s being suggest we may be getting an old man version of the The Magnificent Seven, although presumably with a Tarantino spin.

Quentin is now looking for the two main leads, with Christoph Waltz and Bruce Dern apparently being sought out for the roles. Both appeared in in Django Unchained (Dern in a very small role), but it’s not known if they’ll be interested in this one.

Tarantino is apparently trying to woo the actors by showing them the screenplay, as well as other undisclosed individuals he may be interested in working with. He will gather their feedback, and then continue working on the script. It doesn’t appear he knows exactly when he’ll be finished at the moment or when it will shoot.

Quentin Tarantino Is Writing Another Western, But It’s Not A Django Sequel

November 27, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Quentin-Tarantino Quentin Tarantino’s last few films have jumped through several genres, but it appears he wants to stick with westerns for the time being as the director rocked up to Jay Leno’s chat show and said he’s busy penning another movie set out west, according to THR.

Tarantino said, “I haven’t told anyone this publicly, but I will say the genre: It’s a western.”

He then categorically confirmed that it wouldn’t be a sequel to Django, adding, “I had so much fun doing Django, and I love westerns so much that after I taught myself how to make one, it’s like ‘OK! Let me make another one now that I know what I’m doing.’”

The director didn’t say anything else and there’s no guarantee this will be his next film, especially as he has a tendency to announce movies he wants to make, which either get delayed or are never heard from again. There’s also no news on when it might shoot.
