Update on Quentin Tarantino’s Charles Manson Movie; Who Will Save It?
Back in July, we learned that Quentin Tarantino was writing a script for a movie based on the infamous Manson family murders, which was set to be his ninth film as director. At the time, frequent Tarantino producers Harvey and Bob Weinstein were attached; for obvious reasons, things have since changed on that front.
In an update from Deadline today, we’ve learned that Tarantino finished the script over the summer, and is currently seeking a new home for the project. The site notes that the script, which is titled #9 at this time (a reference to it being Tarantino’s ninth film), is currently being read by nearly all the major studios.
It’s being described as a drama set in late ’60s-early ’70s Los Angeles, and it’s been compared to Pulp Fiction. As we were told earlier this year, “Script details are fuzzy but one of the story’s centers is on Sharon Tate, the actress and wife of director Roman Polanski who was murdered by Manson and his followers in 1969.”
Margot Robbie has reportedly been contacted to play Sharon Tate, and Tarantino has written roles potentially for actors such as Brad Pitt, Leonardo DiCaprio and Samuel L. Jackson. At this time, however, no official casting decisions have been made.
The hope is that a deal will be made within the month, and that production can begin sometime next year ahead of a projected 2019 release date.

Now Anya must race to unlock the truth, before her descent into madness threatens to consume her mind, body and spirit. By the time she reveals the true nature of the ritual, will it be too late?”
