Quentin Tarantino’s next film will explore one of the most infamous murders of all time.
Sources tell Variety that Tarantino’s upcoming movie, which the filmmaker has already written and will direct, will focus on the Manson family murders.
The tragedy occurred on Aug. 8, 1969, when cult leader Charles Manson — an unemployed convict and failed musician — ordered a group of his followers to attack the guests of a house in Los Angeles’ Benedict Canyon. The followers brutally murdered everyone at the home, including actress Sharon Tate, who was eight months pregnant at the time.
The focus of the pic is unclear at this time. It’s unknown whether the film will be a historical retelling about the events that occurred or if the crime is used as a backdrop for separate, intertwining stories.
Insiders close to the project indicate that while no one is attached or has read for a part yet, Tarantino is expected to court A-list talent. The package is set to come together before Labor Day.
Sources also say that although Harvey and Bob Weinstein are involved with the movie, it’s not clear whether The Weinstein Company would distribute the project, as Tarantino wants to line up a cast first.
The film would mark the director’s ninth feature. Tarantino most recently directed the western “The Hateful Eight,” starring Samuel L. Jackson and Kurt Russell, which grossed $54 million at the domestic box office.
The possibility of Tarantino using the murders as a backdrop of intertwining stories has me feeling all warm and fuzzy!

This is awesome!
If he was going to cast Manson himself, who do you think Tarantino would dig up?
Given his penchant for selecting odd choices or actors who are down and out I can see him selecting someone like Shia Labeouf that Hollywood has written off or a pretty boy like Andrew Garfield that has some talent but covered in hair and beard would be near unrecognizable.
As for story, I'd love sort of a police drama-thriller like LA Confidential, Black Dahlia, or Se7en focusing on the officers and detectives investigating. Adding Tarantino's writing, over-the-top violence, and performance driven directing would be a match made in heaven for me.![]()

Some casting rumors have Margot Robbie playing Sharon Tate.
Some other rumors as well with Samuel L Jackson and Brad Pitt possibly playing a detective on the case.

That would be dream casting for me. I LOVE both of them, especially their work in Tarantino films. I just watched Hateful 8 again last weekend and while it isn't Jackson's best performance in a Tarantino movie (that honor goes to his show stopping work in Django Unchained) it is phenomenal.

A long-haired and bearded Ashton Kutcher should play Manson.
I would love to see Kutcher star in a more serious role.
Dr. Sam Loomis: I prayed that he would burn in hell. But in my heart, I knew that hell would not have him.

With Manson himself pretty much on his death bed this thing will be in high demand
Like, so many people out there were trying to track this down. And it just...got delivered on a tweet. What the hell.
