Quentin Tarantino, known for his graphic and violent films, is reportedly tackling a real-life crime for his next project: a film about the Manson family murders.
The Hollywood Reporter said on Tuesday that the project is still in its early stages. Mr. Tarantino is almost finished writing the script, according to the report, and actors including Brad Pitt and Jennifer Lawrence have been approached.
Charles Manson and his disciples have inspired a number of recent films and TV series, although Mr. Tarantino’s would be the highest profile yet.
Mr. Manson orchestrated killings in Southern California in 1969, with a group of men and women he called “the Family.” One of their victims was the actress Sharon Tate, the pregnant wife of the director Roman Polanski, who will reportedly be a focus of Mr. Tarantino’s film.
The dark material is nothing new for Mr. Tarantino, a writer and director of “Inglourious Basterds” and “Django Unchained,” among others. His most recent film was “The Hateful Eight” (2015).
Plans call for shooting to begin next year, The Hollywood Reporter said.
A representative for William Morris Endeavor, an agency reportedly involved in marketing the film to studios, did not immediately respond to request for comment.
Yeah, it sounds like QT was a dick about the crash and that they had some fallings out. Nothing to major. He stuck up for her with Weinstein. That's worth something. [Reply]

In the mid-90's how many people went to their bosses and forced them to apologize and make it right to a victim of their sexual harassment or they quit? This isn't his history revisionist story, but the victim saying he advocated for her.
Only example I've heard from that era where a man put his career on the line for a victim of sexual harassment by a powerful man.
Unless more comes out, it would be totally wrong for a guy that actually stepped up to be run out of town. [Reply]

I see they pulled the clip from youtube, but it isn't about Uma/Harvey. It's about QT on the Stern show in the mid-90s saying that the 13-yo Roman Polanski raped wasn't a victim, but was begging for a taste of some delicious Hollywood dick.
