Quentin Tarantino may take on the Manson murders and we’re concerned

Tarantino has reportedly reached out to A-list actors for his first film based on real-life events

Filmmaker Quentin Tarantino’s next project will be a movie based on the Manson Family murders that stunned the country, and he’s already lining up A-list actors, according to The Hollywood Reporter. This is Tarantino’s first time creating a film based on real-life events.

Tarantino is primarily known for his violent films such as “Django Unchained”, “Pulp Fiction” and his most recent project “The Hateful Eight.” Reports say Tarantino is finishing up his script without providing many details about it. However, sources say that one of the stories will focus on Sharon Tate, the pregnant actor who was brutally murdered in 1969 along with four of her friends by Charles Manson and his followers, commonly referred to as “The Family.”

THR elaborated:

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. Over the course of several hours on the night of Aug. 8, the four followers, using guns and knives, brutally killed Tate, who was eight months pregnant, and four other occupants.

Actor Brad Pitt and actress Jennifer Lawrence have been approached about starring in the film and shooting is planned to begin in 2018, possibly the summer. “Tarantino has molded his career into taking his favorite genres such as crime, Westerns and blaxploitation and elevating them to A-list status while also paying homage to them,” THR reported.

Deadline reported that Tarantino met with “Wolf of Wall Street” and “Suicide Squad” actress Margot Robbie for the role of Tate. Samuel L. Jackson was also reported to play a lead in the film, which is almost routine for a Tarantino film.

Theoretically, the tonal combination of real-life brutality with Tarantino’s pronounced history of stylish violence often played for thrills and laughs must raise questions. Perhaps the director is on the verge of making a right turn and offering up a more mature, thoughtful approach to bloodshed. Perhaps his Manson film will be another cynical, well-wrought exercise in thrill killing (his script for “Natural Born Killers” comes to mind). It’s unknown at this time, but it’s also perfectly acceptable to have reservations here.

Bohemian Rhapsody: The Movie | PinkNews

"It was confirmed today that X-Men director Bryan Singer has signed on to helm the project, while Rami Malek will star as Freddie Mercury."



"Queen fans will remember that Sacha Baron Cohen, who was previously signed on to star in the film, had dramatically quit and lashed out at the band for micromanaging the project.

The Borat star reportedly clashed with Brian May and Roger Taylor over the tone of the film, and their desire for it to focus on the story of the band instead of a gritty, honest account of Mercury’s life, struggle with HIV/AIDS, and death.

Today’s announcement, on Queen blog Queen Online, confirmed the film will “recreate the fabulous Queen years which brought us such unforgettable moments as Live Aid”.

It does not mention Mercury’s personal life at all."

So far ive liked all the purge movies , when first got released only downfall I had was it was something different with the storyline etc , then the film ended up you seen it all before , where the household owners are protecting him, then 2nd film come out and I felt that should have been the first film really IMO, also can't wait to see how the TV show pans out ..
