Quentin Tarantino is eyeing his next project. According to Heat Vision, the legendary film director is looking to put his ninth directorial effort together, and it may be based around the infamous Manson family murders.
The trade reports that the film could revolve are 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.’
Tarantino is reportedly already looking at A-list talent to join the project, and early names being banded around include Brad Pitt, Jennifer Lawrence and Margot Robbie, who could play Manson victim Sharon Tate.
The project remains untitled and is set up over at The Weinstein Company where it will be produced by Bob and Harvey Weinstein, but agencies are looking for a studio to co-finance. Tarantino’s applauded Inglourious Basterds was backed by Universal all of the way back in 2009.
Reports suggest that the new film could go before the cameras as early as the summer of 2018.
