Quentin Tarantino is pressing ahead with what’ll be his ninth movie, based on the real-life story of the Manson Family murders. The project is looking for a new home, with Tarantino parting ways with his traditional partners, The Weinstein Company. For fairly obvious reasons.
With the screenplay now apparently complete, Tarantino is looking for a new studio to back the project. Apparently, only the R-rated-resistant Disney is not being offered the film.
One person who is set to be offered the film is Leonardo DiCaprio, who previously starred for Tarantino in Django Unchained. A role has reportedly being written for the actor, and parts are also being earmarked for Brad Pitt and Samuel L Jackson, should they want them. None of them have signed on the dotted line as of yet.
Pre-production on the movie is set to be underway, and the idea will be to shoot the film in the middle of 2018, likely targeting a 2019 release date. More as we hear it.
