Tarantino's new film to be about Manson Family murders

It'll leak more than Sharon's body did after the 32 stabbings!

[quote]Sources say that Tarantino is putting the finishing touches on the script and that Brad Pitt, who worked with the filmmaker on Basterds, and Jennifer Lawrence have been approached.

No.

Saw him at Sardi's a few weeks ago. He's the size of a house!

Sleazy, very sleazy.

It should be interesting. R1 you're disgusting.

His movies are so violent and the Manson Family murders sound right up his dark alley.

Tarantino is a master at monetizing the corn he picks from history's steamiest, most fetid turd hills. He's a scat impresario. Bravo (in advance) maestro!

His face is so smooth.

QT looks so odd. What happened?

Hack. One-hit wonder. Uses violence/gore and tasteless language to distract attention away from the absence of originality and talent.

Brilliant. Not every con man fools the world

Tarantino is a cultural Fukushima. He should be buried in concrete.

I will watch any film he makes because like it or not they are far more interesting than what most of Hollywood is churning out. If you don't like his ultra violent stuff check out Jackie Brown, which may be his best film.

Brad Pitt and Jennifer Lawrence? Pitt will probably play Manson and I suppose Lawrence will play Sharon. I'm NOT kidding. Tarantino would think it would be perfect casting.

Its been done already. SSteve Railsback terrified me as a child from that mini series.

His nose will meet his chin by time the film is released.

I have heard that he has met with Margot Robbie about playing Sharon. I think that would be brilliant casting! Jennifer lawrence needs to relegated to doing guest spots on Two Broke Girls and reality shows. She's an awful human being.

[quote] Tarantino is a master at monetizing the corn he picks from history's steamiest, most fetid turd hills.

Then hopefully Carol Channing will do a cameo appearance.

[quote]I have heard that he has met with Margot Robbie about playing Sharon. I think that would be brilliant casting!

He told her he'd have to suck her toes to make sure she was right for the role.

I've heard that QT's treatment starts with Polanski finding out about the murders. He then tracks down the family members, one by one, and has a confrontation with each before killing them, each in a different gruesome way. Apparently it's going to be a two part movie.

[quote]Saw him at Sardi's a few weeks ago. He's the size of a house!

Tall or fat?

So what 1960s era gimmick will he revive this time around?

Tarantino is amoral, sometimes I think he is yr garden variety Sociopath just disguised behind a camera lense. This was a horrible, tragic event that has never been covered up in the media - there is no redeeming value for this asshole to exploit this situation except to be "the guy that does it." He fetishizes this stuff and will award Manson a fame he doesnt deserve. I wish they had gassed him.

[quote]He's the size of a house!

When you say that do you mean more like the Taj Mahal or more like the Brady Bunch's house?

[quote]He fetishizes this stuff and will award Manson a fame he doesnt deserve.

John Waters made a career out of it.

Got dayum he is one hijjus looking mofo.

Bravo. Love his work and this will be another winner.

I didn't mind the violence of his previous movies because the stories were manufactured. Somehow, though, it seems inappropriate for him to milk this tragedy for a movie. Let the victims rest in peace. We should not glorify the criminals in this case in any way.

Maybe Paul Dano could play Roman Polanski.

So who should play Manson? Pitt is decades too old, the correct actor would be around 39, short, dark, extremely charismatic, and able to project sleaze, intelligence, and crazy. Pitt can't do a damn thing on that list.

And the "Family" kids should all be heartbreakingly young.

R21 what is the tragic event?

No man in his mid-50s who spent his entire life under the California sun should have a forehead as smooth as a dinner plate.

He looks ridiculous all Botoxed out.

Robbie looks too hard-faced to play Sharon Tate. And casting Lawrence as Tate should be out of the question. I say look for an unknown actress.

Anything starring j.slut I skip, so skiiiiip.

Celebrity murderers -- in case you're on the fence about the death penalty. Quentin Tarantino -- in case you wonder sometimes whether it would be a bad thing if Hollywood finally slid like a massive greasy turd into the Pacific Ocean.

A reflection of the inner spirit?

"You been eatin' too many candy bars, honey!"

Did Uma Thurman ever throw him a pity fuck?

"Any actor involvement is on the early side, and one insider said that Lawrence is not considering the Tate role."

It's MUCH more likely Lawrence would play one of the Manson girls than Sharon Tate (whom she looks nothing like).

Knowing Tarantino's MO, it's much more likely this will be from the Manson family's perspective than from that of Sharon or her guests. I would assume the key female role would be someone like Linda Kasabian or even Susan Atkins rather than Sharon Tate.

r12 Yes, Jackie Brown is fucking perfect! r21 No, that's Werner Herzog, total death hag that can hide it by being a "documentarian".

All the vapid QT wannabe film students drooling over the prospect of yet another bucket of blood from this degenerate. You're all slopping from the same trough. Banality.

I'm thrilled to see another couple of "Jackie Brown" fans here. It is my favorite film of the past 30 years.

Nothing, from the casting to the score, could be improved upon. I became a late in life Pam Grier freak because of it.

r41 Me too! "You didn't exactly set the world on fire, did you, Jackie?" said by the guy who played Tommy in "Valley Girl" so awesome. Robert Forster was hot too and the Delfonics...perfection.

I've always thought a Manson family crime film done in the style of David Fincher's "Zodiac" could be very good and complely warranted because of how many and how complex their crimes actually were (the LAPD even recently said that they think the Manson family might have been responsible for many more murders/unsolved crimes than is currently known by the public).

I think Tarantino is the absolute wrong director for this material though.

His "exploitation" style and celebratory view of violence and killers really runs the risk of simplifying these crimes and glorifying the Manson family and their murders.

It would be serial killers as rock stars (with the murders super stylized and glamorized), the poor victims completely lost in the mix, and it would send a horrible message to anyone viewing the film.

A sober, intense look at the Manson family, their crimes, and their victims could make a very good and important film (like "Zodiac"), but Tarantino would make the mistake of making Manson and his "family" celebrities (in the worst way) to a new generation and he would have an inability to portray the genuine horror, sociopathy, and disgusting violence that Manson and his followers embodied and which they wrought upon Southern California during their reign of terror.

(Oh, and Brad Pitt needs to absolutely not be in this movie).

He's our best director. Why must he always make violent films?

I'm sure all the racist misogynist reddit-bros will love this film that glorifies these brutal and ritualistic murderers. The world sooo needs this story told from their perspective right now.

I can see Joaquin Phoenix as Manson, despite the age factor.

If this film gets made, I hope the real Manson is dead before its released.

The Mansons should have been executed in 1971. All of them. The state of California owes the victims' families reparations for keeping those racist cracker sons of bitches alive as long as they have.

[quote] I'm sure all the racist misogynist reddit-bros will love this film that glorifies these brutal and ritualistic murderers.

Yeah, with a name like Tarantino, I have no doubt about that. Spike Lee was right about him.

His forehead is now the same size as his face from eyebrows to chin.

Would Jennifer Lawrence be playing one of the Manson girls?

Fucking wops steal everything just like that wop Columbus stole land from the rightful owners of Turtle Island.

a sociopath making a film about psychopaths

"QT looks so odd. What happened?"

Where have YOU been? He's always looked odd, what with that squashed in face of his. Butt ugly.

The appeal of Quentin Tarantino has always escaped me. I've seen one movie of his, and that was enough. It was "Pulp Fiction;" after watching it I thought "so THIS is supposed to be a movie of unparalleled brilliance? THIS?" Once was enough and I've never watched another movie of his since.

On talk shows he seems like a nut job. What a gross creep he is. And he wanted to make a movie about the Manson family. Well, one thing can be counted on; if it gets made it will contain lots of sex and rivers of gore.

I can't wait until Debra Tate gets wind of this. Quentin better throw in the towel with this offensive idea now.

You know who'd be absolutely perfect to play Charlie ...

See what I mean ...

I can't even look at pictures of Manson. He looks so evil.

does anyone who was alive during this wish to see the movie? going thru this once was enough for me.

Was the show Aquarius any good??

The right people to film the Manson Family story are the "American Crime Story" team, not Tarantino. They'd take the time to show the absolute insanity of life within the "family", and the hunt for them, and the impact it had on life in LA.

Tarantino's sleaziness and pop culture fixations are painfully wrong for this, I hope to fuck the project fall through and Ryan Murphy goes for it once he finishes with Cunanan.

Don't to see it, devil. Makes sign of the cross.

He always comes off as an alcoholic with anger issues. Never watch his shit because of the violence.

R62 and all others like it are the reason cartoons started turning into puerile pablum barely fit for babies.

They need to fry the entire Manson family right fucking now and stop glorifying these racist cracker breeder goy pieces of shit. They'll never be rehabilitated, and letting them live has allowed the white race to sabotage all attempts at improving race relations. Seriously, listen to this man talk one of these days. He is a white supremacist projecting his hatred of blacks onto whites. Frying him in 1971 would have made the last 46 years play out a lot different and better.

R64 Charles Manson and his followers killed all white people but they actually hate blacks and are white supremacists??!! Sweetheart, if you're not on drugs you should be.

[quote][R64] Charles Manson and his followers killed all white people but they actually hate blacks and are white supremacists??!! Sweetheart, if you're not on drugs you should be.

There's a documentary from 1973. He says basically that he wants to start a race war that blacks will win, but that their (perceived) inability to run will make it a pyrrhic victory, and so he and his "family" would crawl from its wreckage and re-establish white rule. That, of course, is unlikely to happen, but that hasn't stopped other white supremacists from believing it. Nothing they believe is true anyway. They really are the worst race.

"Bravo. Love his work and this will be another winner."

Shut up, Quentin. I think all that Botox injected into your forehead has addled your brain.

[quote]So who should play Manson? Pitt is decades too old, the correct actor would be around 39, short, dark, extremely charismatic, and able to project sleaze, intelligence, and crazy. Pitt can't do a damn thing on that list.

Emile Hirsch is short and maybe could pull off playing Manson.

Good one, R68! Hirsh is short and dark and has the right sort of look. I've never seen him play a villain but he's a talented actor and is supposedly a dick in real life, so he might be able to pull it off.

BTW, I meant to write 30, not 39.

What about Labeouf? He's a crazy little guy...

he's too old now, but at one point, possibly

also too old, but at one point, maybe

Shia might not be a bad idea, if he could be trusted to show up and do his job without causing trouble. But he wouldn't be my first choice, a screen Manson should have a little more... sexual charisma or a sexual presence.

Joachin Phoenix does have it, even if he's a bit too old for the role.

Amber Heard looks somewhat like Sharon Tate. Too bad she can't act

Girl has been gone almost 50 years. Odd, the interest in the macabre that we have.

It's like some of you botches have never heard of the true crime genre in film and literature. There's nothing about this crime that makes it sacrosanct. Unclench missies

Next up ....................

D'JANGO EATS CHEESE

Suggested casting of Kate Bosworth as real deal Tate (R). Attractive enough but not the beauty that Sharon Tate most certainly was>

Amber Heard does look a bit like the real Tate. And since the real Tate couldn't act either, and the role s likely to be small, she might be as good as anyone.

I can't see Robbie going for it, all the meat female roles are going to be for the Manson girls.

Goddam, Tara's fat. You'd think with all his money he'd be able to afford a trainer. Yeesh.

I was alive when this happened. I remember it as a time I began to learn the horrors of life. Things never seem the same after the "unthinkable " happens (like 9/11)

Other elders know that 1971 was NOT the cesspool of violence we have now. We were shocked back then, but now people are not so shocked to learn about it.

Agree that Tarantino just wants to churn out a movie replete with violence and pretend it is art.

His face is the he'll of Botox. Lip fillers are not helping him. He should rot in hell

I detest flaw and can't wait to see her "comeback" fail miserably, public is tired of her fake ass, they've moved on to brie Larson and Margot robbie.

Meant jlaw not flaw.

Whoever plays Manson will find that his career is dead.

[QUOTE] And since the real Tate couldn't act either

She had shown a knack for comedy but since the poor girl was all of 26 when murdered we'll never know if she might have gotten better. Many actors whose early work was laughed at became considerably better, award winning even: Ann-Margret for example didn't get critical praise until she was in CARNAL KNOWLEDGE at age 30. Brooke Shields, Raquel Welch are some others that come to mind.

[quote]Other elders know that 1971 was NOT the cesspool of violence we have now.

Whatcha talking about? Violent crime rates are lower than in 1971 and the murder rates are MUCH LOWER now

What is a "legacy rape"?

What was the difference in terms of the number of murder, R86? Any statistical info on that?

Murder is the 4th column r88 -- is that your question.

The rape numbers are likely doe to more reporting and convictions than in the past when reporting was much more rare

No, I wanted raw numbers. I found some 1969, year of the Manson Muders. Murders: 14,760 ; Aggravated assault: t311,090

2015: Murders: t15,696; Aggravated assault: t764,449

It definitely went up in the 70s -90s. Probably due to drugs, availability of weapons. Then down again - bigger prisons?

For your consideration (as Charlie)

Shia LaBoeuf for Manson. If he can get his shit together and not act like a douche, then this could be the best thing that can happen to him

I wonder if any of the surviving family members/relatives have to sign off on this?

I hate Tarantino. How the hell this guy fooled everyone into thinking he is a genius is beyond me.

I'm sure the movie will be good, violent fun for the whole family.

Why the hell would they r93?

Crime went down in large part r90 because of the 1994 Clinton crime bill. Something the Berners tried to use against HRC btw

Debra Tate said that JLaw is not pretty enough to play Sharon!

Jeremy Davies has that sinister quality necessary for Charlie.

[quote]Charles Manson and his followers killed all white people

Except for the black man I saw him kill with my own eyes.

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

Ernest Borgnine would make an excellent Pat Krenwinkel

That guy at R98 might work as Manson, but he looks tall. The actor should be short, skinny, and have crazy eyes.

I can't think of any "known" actress who could believably play Sharon Tate. They should do a Bo Derek in "10" and cast a complete unknown.

Yes, they should go with unknowns for Sharon Tate & Polanski. But Tarantino means fun (known) actor casting, murder laughs, soundtrack.

There was something about the Mansons that was on TV about six years ago on TLC or one of those channels that was actually pretty good. I think the people were unknowns.

That French actor Mathieu Amalric reminds me of Polanski, but he is too old now.

Nobody could be better than Steve Railsback.

Jeremy Davies is a great suggestion.

Hmm might be interesting. He's a turd but his movies are always intesting. I just rewatched Planet terror last night. His partnerships with Robert Rodriguez are usually good. Maybe he can bring him on board.

[quoteI can't see Robbie going for it, all the meat female roles are going to be for the Manson girls.

I'm curious to see which actresses Tarantino would cast for the Manson girls. Looking at pictures of Linda Kasabain she reminds me of Kevin Bacon's daughter Sosie.

Would any known actresses want to play the Manson girls? He should get someone from an indie band or something. Evan Rachel Wood would be too old now, but she could play crazy.

[quote]Nobody could be better than Steve Railsback.

Actually, Jeremy Davies, who played Manson in the Heller Skelter remake, was pretty scary, and Clea Duvall was excellent as Linda Kasabian.

[quote]Would any known actresses want to play the Manson girls? He should get someone from an indie band or something. Evan Rachel Wood would be too old now, but she could play crazy.

I could see some actress who works mostly in TV wanting a Manson girl role because the movie would gain a lot of attention.

Weird to think that Sharon would be 74 now.

What about the LaBiancas? Are they going to be ignored yet again?

Weren't the LaBiancas included in the original Helter Skelter movie?

Maybe Tarantino will include them because it will mean more blood

Manson was 5'2". Sounds like a good fit for Tom Cruise.

he's small

Sources say that Tarantino is putting the finishing touches on the script and that Brad Pitt, who worked with the filmmaker on Basterds, and Jennifer Lawrence have been approached. Studios could receive the package after Labor Day, according to one source. The plan is to shoot in 2018, possibly in the summer.

Who would Brad Pitt play? A cop? A fictional character?

Any talks with actors are in the early stages, and one insider said that Lawrence is not considering the Tate role.

Lawrence was actually approached to play Manson; her acting is considered *that* good.

Someone in the comments at The Hollywood Reporter wrote "DiCaprio would be a good Charles Manson"

Ever heard of wigs and makeup? Anyone can be anyone in Hollywood. But Jake Gyllenhaal has the look.

Jake does have the "look," and he's almost exactly the same age Manson was, but he's a little too good looking. Both Railsback and Jeremy Davies were perfect because they looked like outsiders.

[quote] [Crime] definitely went up in the 70s -90s. Probably due to drugs, availability of weapons. Then down again - bigger prisons?

Actually, the real reason crime went down in the 90's is due to Roe v. Wade. Fewer unwanted babies = fewer future criminals.

I doubt the Sharon Tate role in this would go to a famous actress. Her involvement with the family was only a few minutes. Wouldn't the movie focus on how the family came together and the fear it put the county thru. Plus the trial

I can't imagine any A-list or even B-list actress wanting to play the Manson girls, especially Atkins or Krenwinkle. The mere association could just be too distasteful and damaging. Kasabian I could see as she didn't actually participate in any murders and perhaps even Van Holten because she "seems" the least vicious of the bunch despite her involvement. And she was recommend for parole so there's an arc there for actresses who give a shit about their craft.

I agree, any A or B list male actor that plays CM will toast his career. This was simply a brutal attack, and that it was racially based just makes it all the worse. There will not be single A or B list female volunteering for the same reason. Anyone old enough to play the roles will have judgment and ability to understand how profoundly disturbing the entire period was for this. We get the notion of brainwashed cults that murder - ISIL. American is very no cool with that idea at all - and Manson was a cult.

GOD FORBID this film creates another situation - our culture is too rife with gun nuts, our country has been terrorized once in the last 16 years - gratuitous brutality is no longer attractive. Not with Republicans that cant bat an eye at a school in which 20 5 year olds are murdered in cold blood and no one gives a shit. Our lives are so daily at risk from random gun violence - why add this brutality to the mix? Cults no, Gun nuts are approved by the GOP.

Leonardo DiCaprio cast, with August 9, 2019 release date.

The description for "Untitled Tarantino Project" now reads: "A TV actor and his stunt double embark on an odyssey to make a name for themselves in the film industry during the Charles Manson murders in 1969 Los Angeles."

Which sounds a bit like Spike Lee's "Summer of Sam", and not a straightforward telling of the story of the Manson Family. Which is fine by me, I don't trust Tarantino to be historically accurate enough to be trusted with the inside story of real people going collectively insane.

I don’t want to see the typical ultra violent Tarentino version of Sharon Tate’s murder. I thought he was going to do a r rated Star Trek.

He loves the Manson family. He'll probably have Lens Durham play Sharon Tate.

Yes, he's doing the Star Trek movie as well but that's still in its early stages. The Revenant writer was hired to do a script just last month.

So Leo is going to play a 40 something man hanging around with teenage girls. Appropriate.

Tarantino is repulsive. I hate to think how grotesque this movie would be.

I think those people should not be glorified with a movie. Disgusting.

However, what is this thing with calling the Manson family racist ? I certainly don't want to say anything that is a defence about those evil murderers, but how are they supposed tombe racists ? I really thought this was not the reason they were notorious. Is there something I don't know about ?

And what is this calling Tarantino a racist as well ? I'm not a fan and think he has many issues, but didn't he get in trouble in 2015 when he called out policemen about violence against Black people ?

Do you not realize that the Manson ”family” committed the murders in order to trigger race warfare? They tried in their incompetent way to commit crimes that would look like black crimes against white people.

Manson told his followers that if they made it look like black people were murdering whites, it would spark a race war which would destroy society, and his plan was to take them all to go hide in the desert until it was all over. Because once the black people won and wiped out the whites they wouldn't be able to govern themselves, according to Manson, so he told his followers that once the race war was over they would re-emerge from the desert and become the new leaders of the world.

Manson's followers were very young, very stupid, and very stoned, because they never questioned that bullshit story. And some of them were probably very, very racist.

Now the question is who gets cast as the other lead male. I reckon Pitt. Hopefully not Cruise.

If the film is really about a couple of wannabes in 1969, they'd have to cast a hell of a lot younger than Pitt and Cruise!

They're in their fifties, and 1969 was the era of the "generation gap" and "Never trust anyone over 30".

I think Tarrentino is our best director but he always does violent movies. I wish he would do a woman’s movie like William Wyler. Even Sam Peckinpah did different things.

Another Tarentino pointless POS to look forward to.

I'm happy to see that I'm not the only person who hates Tarantino. Every extremely stupid person I've ever met loves QT. It's like liking the Twilight books. Shallow idiocy for shallow idiots.

Having said, I LOVE Sam Jackson's monologue from the back seat of the cab as he and JT are cleaning it.

Ya better pack the theaters, ya little piggies! I'm not fooling . . .

Tarantino fans and Twilight fans are two very different fans.

"Tarantino fans and Twilight fans are two very different fans."

But they're both crazy. They do have that in common.

This movie is bad juju. No one wants to see this.

How does so much money get greenlighted to make such trashy, violent films.

We are learning so much, daily, about how lurid Hollywood is, that this movie just seems like such a failure already.

We don't know about this script.

I'm torn on this. One, i think he won't show anything but maybe the bodies. The other, thinking about the unbelievable amount of murder and violence in his movies, where many people die in all of them, makes me think he's gonna show the murders in some capacity. Which is both terrible and somewhat interesting, though more of the former.

I don't see Leo signing up to play in a movie that shows this kind of event in full flow. I think it will be like Summer of Sam, where there were no actual things shown but used as a backdrop.

By all reports they say this has mainstream appeal like Pulp Fiction. I'm very curious about the plot.

I guess Pitt and DiCaprio will play cops or detectives - what else could they play?

SO what do we think now that Uma's interview and jarring video footage has come out? Will Sony back out of this?

Does Leo still do this or does he back out like he did with Steve Jobs? Leo's brand can't afford to be in this now, can it? And it seems for Tarantino the firestorm is only beginning.

Same for Margot Robbie I would imagine.

Cameo appearance by Angela Lansbury as herself

The car crash and real choking and spitting would probably appeal to his fans

R149 the car crash was up on twitter. Think it was the Daily Telegraph that got the footage.

Didn't he announce he was retiring or something a while back? I guess the sordid Manson saga revived his creative juices.

It's been done several times already. I might check it out to see if he has some other 'take' on it.

Honestly curious... is there such a thing as an attractive person with a foot fetish, or do they all look like Quentin and Dan Schneider (Nickelodeon's own Harvey Weinstein)?

I've also known two (straight) guys in college who openly admitted to having foot fetishes, and both looked about how you'd imagine them to (one was a dead ringer for Comic Book Guy from the Simpsons).

I bet the Manson movie's gonna be shelved. This is gonna get worse for Tarantino.

I don't think it gets shelved but he'll have a very hard time keeping the current a-list cast because there's no way put a positive spin on almost killing Uma and inserting himself into scenes so he could spit on her and choke her. I suspect he's got a lot of skeletons in his closet because of his twisted fetishes.

In a word, he's fucked. Amber Tamblyn isn't going to be able to save his ass this time.

[quote]he'll have a very hard time keeping the current a-list cast

That's actually not a bad thing. His movies were so much better when he was casting cool faded stars like Pam Grier, David Carradine, Daryl Hannah, Robert Forster, et al. Now he just wants assholes like DiCaprio and Tom Cruise in his movies.

Sony's deal for his Manson movie is INSANE. It's going to have to make $375 worldwide just to break even!!

[quote]Another Tarentino pointless POS to look forward to.

At least it’s not a vulgar “revenge movie” which seems to be the genre he can best camouflage his sadism in.

Loved when he made a movie about Nazis being tortured because he thought Jews would applaud him for it. Asshole.

Wow.

Tarantino's finished.

I never miss one of his films but I don’t want to see pregnant Sharon Tate’s stylized murder.

It sounds like the world's most expensive abortion fetish video.

Wonder if Leo will step down from the project.

Is it just me, or is Tarantino the ugliest man who ever waled the earth? (Sorry, second, after Harvey)

R165 LOL...internet petitions are worthless

Yes. I know a guy who knows him in Austin. He said he's very tall with a tiny head. Weird looking and ugly.

I think he will either (a) tone down the violence against women in the movie or (b) hope everyone will have moved on from #MeToo by the time the movie is released in Aug. 2019.

U G L Y

He ain't got no alibi

He ugly

He

He

He ugly!

R170 ROFL

I read somewhere that Roman Polanski will be the main character of this film. I imagine it'll be him sitting at the crime scene or watching news reports having a violent revenge fantasy for the whole movie. "Roman Polanski: Murderer Hunter"

Remember the footage of Roman going round the house with Sharon's blood still on the walls and door? That stuck with me. I always found it weird that he could do that

R173 According to Wikipedia:

Life magazine devoted a lengthy article to the murders and featured photographs of the crime scenes. Polanski was interviewed for the article and allowed himself to be photographed at the entrance of the house, next to the front door with the word "PIG"—written in Tate's blood—still visible. Widely criticized for his actions, he argued that he wanted to know who was responsible and was willing to shock the magazine's readers in the hope that someone would come forward with information.

women/men he abused cumin outta da woodwork.

the film will be shelved

off to jail he go....

R174 Thanks. We all handle tragedy in our own way but I still find it fucked up. But it's Polanksi and he is fucked up. I'm haunting the Tarantino news & this project because 1) I've always loved Sharon and 2) The big names that are attached to the Tarantino project: Leo Dicaprio, Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt. Especially with Quentin's mess being dug up and laid out atm, would they risk it, still proceed and give out a half-assed response in defending him? I know Margot Robbie is gonna play Sharon (Debra now goes against her choice of Margot) but she's not that good or big of an actress so I don't care about her. But Leo and Brad??

that old bitch Hayley duff is playing Sharon in some B movie.

man she is pitiful....

R178 Her sis Hilary is. Debra made a statement about it. "Tacky, tacky, tacky." Is what she said, above exploitive etc. Must be hard on her to be having 2 movies come out about her sister that depict her horrific death in the same year - Tarantino saying he wants his to come out on Sharon's bday btw!

I hope the Tarantino Manson fetish film is cancelled by Sony. I know I won't go. Tarantino's lost a lot of his audience.

I'd go to a movie about the Mansons, but not one by Tarantino. The guy's shtick was annoying then and it's played out now.

I read Bugliosi's Helter Skelter book years ago. The police did investigate Polanski - seemed odd his wife gets murdered while he's out of the country. They did find out Polanski was screwing around with anybody he could find and the marriage was on the rocks. Sebring was Tate's ex-boyfriend and it was considered relevant that he was there and murdered too.

Bugliosi told a story about Polanski being such a notorious skirt-chaser he was driving along Rodeo Drive and spotted what looked like a gorgeous woman with her back to him. He catcalled her. When she turned around, it was his wife. He told the story to friends, thought it was funny he tried to pick up his own wife.

All the stuff coming out and destroying Tarantino's career is karma for announcing that he would release his movie on the 50th anniversary of Sharon Tate’s murder

I'd personally rather see Rob Zombie do a Manson movie than Tarantino. I know many people hate his movies, but I think he is the only person there is to make yet another movie about this story. It would be graphic and brutal for sure, but very realistic so you would feel like you were actually there. Not over the top and comical like Tarantino's style. It would be darker and more authentic.

He references the case in almost every album and movie of his so he's clearly fascinated by it. He'd stick to the facts. I also know he'd do the late '60s/early '70s style very well.

Zombie had some potential with Devil’s Rejects then he turned Halloween into a white trash price of shit.

R184 I agree. I've liked all of Rob's movies apart from the Halloweens. I think if he did the Manson movie 10-20 years ago, he would have his wife Sheri play Sharon. Sheri was a looker.

cant see tarantino surviving...the info seems to be mounting

ahhhhhhh NO. NON.

i can just imagine the celluloid reality he would conjure up....

[quote]R180 I hope the Tarantino Manson fetish film is cancelled by Sony. I know I won't go.

I hope his stars bail on him. Major MAJOR dangerous creep, in light of news story on how he fucking up Uma Thurman on KILL BILL and then withholding the footage for 15 years so she couldn't sue.

let the storys roll out on his fugly ass !!!!!

I hope this never gets made. With all the allegations against Tarantino recently maybe it won't be. That would be a blessing.

Rumour is that Sony's been having second thoughts.

" I imagine it'll be him sitting at the crime scene or watching news reports having a violent revenge fantasy for the whole movie. "Roman Polanski: Murderer Hunter" "

Considering the level of historical accuracy he put into the finale of "Inglorious Basterds", he's perfectly capable of ending this film with Polanski taking out the entire Manson Family with a flame thrower.

I don't know Friedman's sources from where is he "hearing" Sony is having second thoughts exactly?

Nonetheless I hope it's true.

the ghost of miss tate will haunt his ass for disrespecting her with his mess.

What's with the sleazy long hair.

I've watched the car crash video, but I still don't understand the backstory to what happened, it's incredibly complex. This is something we can never comprehend.

"There’s some idea Cruise would play Polanski" - ridiculous

Urgh ! I tought it was clear in January it would not be centered on the Manson murders but on a washed-up actor trying to navigate profesionnally the changes of tone in the 60s.

Sharon Tates murder occurs but is not the main focus.

So, skeevy Tarantino wants to make a most likely hyper violent film about a hyper violent murder spree that focussed centrally on the appalling destruction of a young, pregnant woman, carried out by members of a cult of personality that surrounded an inexplicably charismatic psychopath with issues of inadequacy and was, they hoped, to be the spark that would start a race war.

He wants to do this after Weinstein and #metoo and at a time when tensions between black and white run high and mass killings have become a part of American life.

Who said Hollywood can’t change ?

R200, have you read the article I posted at R199 ?

This is not exactly what the film is about, according to the article.

R200 over here looking like a damn fool right now. 😂

The movie sounds more like Spike Lee’s Summer of Sam.

Please hollywood will go back to being it's old self after people pick another trendy cause to follow.

Terrible move for Leo, I have to say. He's always had a hard-on for Quentin's writing and Quentin said as much on Stern years ago ... "Leo's a massive fan of my writing and he makes sure he gets his hands on my new scripts and procures it without me even sending it to him" ... which tells its own story.

But he shouldn't do this movie IMO.

not gunna happen.

tarantino will be run out of hwood when all the shit comes to surface on him

real rascal.....

Why do all his movies have to be celebrations of murder, killing, death, guns guns guns...

does nra invest in his movies? do they invest in tv shows also? so many shows make us fearful of going out the door...

Because that's Quentin's deal with the devil: violence, gore, all his themes that you mention ... are all vehemently anti-GOD and RELIGION.

In Pulp Fiction you have several moments where the bible and God are being discussed literally as someone's head is blown off in the car or the apartment when Sam and Travolta go in there. That's totally blasphemous. And that's why he does it.

And those at the top of the entertainment industry, whether it be QT or Lady Gaga or Woody Allen (the most famous Atheist of all time who denounced God in every one of his movies), are there because they agreed to destroy the lord's word.

me no likey as he jus so fuk drunk ugly....

his movies have no redeeming value.

not even entertainment value

shocked di caprio sux on his ass so often

Hi there R201 & 202, R200 here. R201; with respect that article doesn’t say a great deal about the film. So, a moot point maybe now whichever way either of us leans.

Slice of life Tarantino style will most likely not be slice of life Spike Lee style. I mean, we can agree to disagree on that and if or when I am proved wrong you can always pull out some more little emojis 202. Undoubtedly, by then, I’ll be so ashamed of my foolishness I’ll never post on here again.

However, I’ll still think he is a talent that fell in love with his own myth, he’s skeevy, now overrated and, bizarrely, brings out the fanboy in people often old enough to know better.

Do we really need this? I am so sick of all the rehashes of famous crimes: OJ, Jim Jones, Patty Hearst, the Menendez brothers. Write an original script for a change!

R211 I agree but Hollywood is creatively bankrupt so we get endless remakes/reboots/reimaginings, superhero movies (starring superheroes created over 75 years ago), and, as you noted, endless dramatizations of famous crimes.

Blah Blah Blah ... we already know what this movie will be about: characters who talk too much and have long tumbling minute after minute of show-off dialogue, five stories going back and forth at one time with all characters intertwined, non-linear structural orgasm, and a shitload of violence.

That, and many old films will have been raped and pillaged so Quentin can do his collage technique and say copying is flattery and include them in this.

so shallow and weak of him to glom onto the notorious and much done Manson/Tate thing...not very original. go for the jugular and obvious violent stuff, sure to stir up the folks who watch Entertaiment Tonight. Ugh.

[bold]Brad Pitt, Leonardo DiCaprio to Star in Quentin Tarantino's Sharon Tate Drama[/bold]

[quote]Brad Pitt and Leonardo DiCaprio are reuniting with Quentin Tarantino to star in the filmmakers latest feature, titled [bold]Once Upon a Time in Hollywood[/bold], Sony Pictures announced.

[quote]Tarantino describes it as “a story that takes place in Los Angeles in 1969, at the height of hippy Hollywood. The two lead characters are Rick Dalton (Leonardo DiCaprio), former star of a western TV series, and his longtime stunt double Cliff Booth (Brad Pitt). Both are struggling to make it in a Hollywood they don’t recognize anymore. But Rick has a very famous next-door neighbor...Sharon Tate.”

[quote]The film will be released worldwide on August 9, 2019.

Rose Byrne resembles Sharon to me

R16 I have thought that too. But, she is bit old to play her.

Margot and Rose easily look the same age R217

Oh brother, Brad and Leo this is the best work you can find.????

Guaranteed gore and gore and......gore.

Bored with his schtick. Plus he is so dam repulsive: quentin.

but it will have frontal gay nudity

[quote]R206 Why do all his movies have to be celebrations of murder, killing, death, guns guns guns...

Even if he hasn't lived that life, himself, those are his ideals. Artists can't express with conviction what they don't believe in.

Merchant/Ivory couldn't have made engaging gangsta flicks, because it's simply not a world they feel. Quentin Tarantino will never be able to make anything classy, because he's an interior low life.

[bold]Margot Robbie Now In Negotiations To Play Sharon Tate In Quentin Tarantino Film[/bold]

[quote]Deadline broke last July 11 that Quentin Tarantino had met with Margot Robbie and asked her to play Sharon Tate in his next film. She now has the offer and negotiations are underway to make it a reality.

She's the next AnnE, isn't she? Or perhaps the next JLaw?

I'm a bit insulted that Margot is going from playing dowdy Tonya Harding to gorgeous Sharon Tate.

[bold]Quentin Tarantino & Leonardo DiCaprio Make Surprise Appearance At CinemaCon To Talk ‘Once Upon A Time In Hollywood’[/bold]

[quote]“It takes place during the 1969 Hollywood era at the height of the counterculture explosion, at the time of the hippie revolution,” Tarantino told the crowd. “During the summer, little by little, block by block, we’ll be transforming Los Angeles in the psychedelic Hollywood of 1969.” Tarantino said he was 7 years old in 1969. Last time he shot a film set in that era was Jackie Brown, though the new film is a closer cousin to the interwoven story lines of his Pulp Fiction.

[quote]A sizzle reel at the onset showed an artistic portrayal of his canon. Footage from Pulp Fiction and Inglourious Basterds, with the final shot being a representation of Once Upon a Time in Hollywood starring Brad Pitt and DiCaprio. Robbie’s name was not listed, because she isn’t yet locked even though Deadline has reported that Tarantino met her personally to play the role of Sharon Tate.

[quote]Tarantino called the pairing of Pitt and DiCaprio akin to Robert Redford and Paul Newman. Acknowledging that “it’s hard to talk about a movie you haven’t made yet,” Tarantino said he was very excited to work with Tarantino after Django Unchained.

Pulp Fiction was good so this is encouraging, right?

"Jackie Brown" was not set in the late '60s.

"Tarantino said he was very excited to work with Tarantino after Django Unchained"

?

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[bold]Quentin Tarantino Cast Thickens: Burt Reynolds To Star, Tim Roth, Kurt Russell, Michael Madsen Play Small Roles[/bold]

[quote]Quentin Tarantino is expanding the cast of his upcoming film Once Upon A Time In Hollywood. He is in talks with Burt Reynolds to play George Spahn, and also in early discussions with his The Hateful Eight co-stars Tim Roth, Kurt Russell and Michael Madsen to play smaller roles in the film. They would join Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt, who are already set.

Another DL fave on board!

[quote]Timothy Olyphant is negotiating to co-star in Once Upon A Time In Hollywood, the film Quentin Tarantino wrote and directed and is prepping for production in Los Angeles for Sony Pictures. I am not sure whether Olyphant will play a fictional or real character...

[quote]Olyphant’s schedule had to be reworked around his TV show The Santa Clarita Diet, but the problems have been overcome and a deal is being worked out.

What are all the old guys going to play?

Seven (old and old-ish) white guys, and counting. And one white woman. Progress!

R231 How many non-white people were there in Benedict Canyon/Hollywood in the late 1960s?

so everybody's on board with this movie, stars are attached and we're supposed to completely forget the Uma Thurman interview and all that mess?? How does this work exactly?

Judd Apatow must be hysterical the fucking dunce. He was calling for Tarantino to LOSE funding for this movie and railed against Quentin when Uma released her interview that morning. What a fool he is.

Lose funding? Pitt, Leo, Margot Robie the hottest actress in the game at the moment, now his usual array of luminaries ... PLUS Uma said she'd work with QT again if there was a good role (PS Quentin, write me into the piece!) .... HAHAHA.

Tarantino = Movie GOD.

Judd Apatow is annoying as fuck and I don't think he has a squeaky clean reputation as a director. I bet dirt will come out on Apatow later on and he given work to creeps like James Franco for years.

Tarantino is gonna bring it with this movie,!! I already can't wait to see it!!! Too bad it's 15 months away.

Judd Apatow can go fuck himself.

r231 Tarantino's been consistently inclusive in his casting over the years (not to mention Jackie Brown). He's not the one to try this with.

what happened to pam grier btw? did she retire after The L Word?

Lady Gaga is going to be in this movie.

It’s very funny that Apatow put the boot in, in an attempt to virtue signal, and Tarantino did not go down.

Uma came to Quentin’s defense — I guess she wants us to see her big feet one last time ....

r237 Please don't tell people where they are allowed to "try this with" and where not to, in this or any other context. You're not the gatekeeper of anything and it makes you sound like a complete douche.

[quote]in an attempt to virtue signal

Drink!

He's boring. His movies are ass numbing.

The murders aren't supposed to be the focus of the film. It's about some aging TV characters in the business and Sharon Tate is a neighbor with other characters from that narrative. I assume it's about that era and lots of characters from different subcultures interacted. If he does it right it could be great. I never thought a movie about the porn industry and its denizens could have turned into the great and moving story it was. Tarantino has better material with this to work some magic with, though his style is certainly different.

Meant to add that Uma's story is not some #metoo story. It was about a director thinking he knew better than his safety people. And under normal circumstances he might have been right and nothing would have happened. But it did. Uma considers them friends and it didn't seem to be about him trying to take advantage of her or hurt her. Which is why she never made a big deal of it.,

i'm pretty sure we won't even see the actual murders. At least i hope so. That would be too horrible even for a Tarantino movie. Maybe he could go full fantasyland, and show Sharon and the other victims overpowering those Manson cunts. You know, a la Inglorious ending!

I don't suspect Quentin would short-change us on violence in any movie. He said a few years ago he wanted to make the most violent movie of all time.

He's got the ingredients here if he wants to show it.

R248 which would be in terrible taste as these were real people who died horribly - but never accuse Tarantino of having any class, he's white trash

It actually wasn't all that violent, I mean, as opposed to some truly ghastly murders. It was mostly stabbing to death. It's more sad and depressing than anything else, like Sharon Tate begging for her life.

I mean, yes, of course, stabbing is violent, but it's not like the sort of eyes being gouged out stuff that we actually see in some horror movies.

r249 it wasn't all that violent?

"Tex Watson began to tie Sharon Tate and Jay Sebring together by their necks with rope he had brought and slung up over one of the living room's ceiling beams. Sebring's protest of rough treatment of the pregnant Tate prompted Watson to shoot him. After that, Watson stabbed the groaning Sebring seven times. Wojciech Frykowski's hands had been bound with a towel. Freeing himself, Frykowski began struggling with Susan Atkins, who stabbed at his legs with the knife with which she had been guarding him. As he fought his way toward and out the front door, onto the porch, Watson caught up with Frykowski and struck him over the head with the gun multiple times, stabbed him repeatedly, and shot him twice. Inside the house, Abigail Folger had escaped from Patricia Krenwinkel and fled out a bedroom door to the pool area. Folger was pursued to the front lawn by Krenwinkel, who caught her, stabbed her, and finally tackled her to the ground. She was then dispatched by Watson, and they stabbed Folger 28 times. As Frykowski struggled across the lawn, Watson murdered him with a final flurry of stabbings. Frykowski was stabbed a total of 51 times. In the house, Tate pleaded to be allowed to live long enough to have her baby, and even offered herself as a hostage in an attempt to save the life of her unborn child. At this point either Atkins, Watson, or both killed Tate, who was stabbed 16 times. Watson later wrote that as she was being killed, Tate cried: "Mother ... mother ..." Using the towel that had bound Frykowski's hands, Atkins wrote "pig" on the house's front door in Tate's blood."

Yeah so not violent though... Abigail and Frykowski fought back hard too. Both Tex and Krenwinkel had trouble with them. Abigail was actually overpowering Patrica Krenwinkle, who had a knife, so pussy ass bitch Krenwinkle had to call Tex over to help her get Abigail. Abigail actually had to tell them to stop stabbing her because she "was already dead". Jay couldn't fight back because he was shot twice almost immediately and Sharon was of course heavily pregnant.

What is this movie really about?

They said it's the most "pulp" script he's written since that movie.

Leo and Brad on some wacky caper in Hollywood and it gets seedy and dangerous?

Does anyone have a clue about the plot other than they are actors and stunt double and neighbors with Tate?

Personally, If I never hear Manson’s name it would be too soon. Enough with this horrible and gruesome tradegy.

I wish those poor souls to Rest In Peace.

Will the LaBiancas be featured in this film? Also I always hated the picture of Mrs. LaBianca in the HELTER SKELTER book. It very unflattering. I know I would never want to be featured in a best seller looking like a crone.

[bold]Quentin Tarantino’s ‘Once Upon A Time In Hollywood’ Adds Luke Perry, Damian Lewis, Dakota Fanning, More[/bold]

Holy crap, what a lineup!

[quote]The Sony pic has brought aboard Damian Lewis, Luke Perry, Emile Hirsch, Dakota Fanning, Clifton Collins Jr, Keith Jefferson and Nicholas Hammond in supporting roles for a lineup that already includes Leonardo DiCaprio, Brad Pitt, Margot Robbie, Burt Reynolds, Timothy Olyphant, Michael Madsen and Tim Roth.

[quote]As befits a Tarantino pic, the casting intrigues: Lewis will play the iconic actor Steve McQueen; Fanning is set as Squeaky Fromme, the Manson disciple who later tried to assassinate President Gerald Ford; Hammond will play director Sam Wanamaker; and Hirsch is Jay Sebring, the Hollywood hairstylist who was one of four victims in the Tate murders on Cielo Drive.

[quote]Perry is set to play Scotty Lancer, Collins is Ernesto The Mexican Vaquero, and Keith Jefferson is Land Pirate Keith. It’s the third Tarantino film for Jefferson, who also appeared in The Hateful Eight and Django Unchained.

I think Quentin has been inching towards this story for sometime.

Slaughtering a pregnant woman in KILL BILL I etc

I just hope he doesn't intend on wallowing on the gruesome aspects of Tate's murder. Who am I kidding ? That craZy bastard is going to revel in it.

I know R254 is just quoting from a source, but there were FIVE victims at Cielo Drive. Everyone always forget Steven Parent.

Tarantino is a closet case. He's 60 years old.

Movie sounds like a west coast version of Summer of Sam.

Will they include Rosie Tate Polanski?

wowowowowowowwow Al Pacino has joined the cast as Marv Schwarz, agent to the stars.

BOY OH BOY.

[quote]Burt Reynolds

Burt Reynolds? Is it Mr Burt Reynolds?

R256

(And) six victims really, if you count Sharon's baby who was due in 2 weeks when she was murdered.

If the killers had gone to that house several weeks later and murdered a living baby, I think that people would have lynched the m family once they were identified and apprehended.

[bold]Quentin Tarantino’s ‘Once Upon a Time in Hollywood’ Adds James Marsden[/bold]

More, more, again, again!

[quote]James Marsden and “American Housewife” actress Julia Butters will join the cast of Quentin Tarantino’s film “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood,” sources tell Variety. Insiders would not reveal what roles Marsden and Butters will be playing.

everybody and their mothers are in this movie. More proof that it's NOT about the Cielo drive murders.

[quote]everybody white and their white mothers are in this movie. More proof that it's NOT about the Cielo drive murders.

Fixed.

^were black people involved in the manson drama? what's your point, little miss SJW?

All the casting just sounds distracting.

Will they bring Sharon Tate back from the dead to play Doris Day?

As a person of color, I saw THANK GOD it’s everybody white and their white mothers. For once, I’ll gladly sit at the back of the bus for this one. POC have enough problems without getting involved in the Manson murders, R265

Awwww, Baby Paul, R262. So sad. Those people were animals. Fucking animals.

Tarantino wanted Dustin Hoffman for the jewish agent but after he got named for grabbing ass he offered the role to Pacino at Leo's request. Leo and Pacino are close friends.

[bold]Scoot McNairy Joins Quentin Tarantino’s ‘Once Upon A Time In Hollywood’[/bold]

[quote]McNairy will play the role of a cowboy named Business Bob Gilbert, a character in the Western TV show from the time period that is an element of a Pulp Fiction-like tapestry of the summer of 1969 in Los Angeles.

Deplorables are going to love this lily-white movie...

R269

Manson was racist. Everyone in his 'family' was white. His Helter Skelter plan was allegedly to begin a race war. He wanted the murders to look as though blacks had committed them. Manson theorized that the family would hide in the desert while blacks slaughtered all of the white people til they were gone. Then, according to Manson since blacks were too stupid to run anything well, the family would reemerge from the desert and grateful ignorant blacks would have the family to run the world.

Sam Jackson is going to play an elder drag queen based in Venice Beach. Small roll but more than a cameo.

Leo and Pitt buy their dope from him in the movie.

Who’s gonna play Tina Turner?

TV's "Helter Skelter" will be difficult to surpass.

The creepy music in tv's 1976 Helter Skelter was awesome.

Actually Winifred Chapman is a woman of color. Will she be featured? Who will play her? Angela Bassett? Vi Davis? Alfred Woodard? Rose Leslie?

R278 Beyonce!

The Tarantino publicity person makes regular stops at data lounge - move on. Zzzzzzzz

r278 Oprah would be a good fit

Oprah don't play maids.

First look.

This film is not just about the Manson murders. I don't even think that's the main focus. It's more about the culture of that time and place. That's what interests me.

Thank, R283, this is cool.

R213 is probably right, except I find that I don't mind too much.

I wonder who'll play Goldie Hawn. They should get someone sexy like Amy Adams or Isla Fisher to play Ann-Margret. This should be good.

Sharon Tate was so gorgeous, almost otherworldly. And some nutjobs stuck knives in her until she stopped breathing.

Yet Lens Dunham remains unstabbed.

R34 How amusing.

This undisciplined creature is a failure as a film-maker. They aren't cinematic.

He needs to limit himself to scriptwriting and let an adult edit them down to a coherent shape.

R283 Aw, look at those two middle-aged men with their botox and fillers. Nice!

R289, I think they are not supposed to look cool. They are rather supposed to look aging, desperately trying to look cool.

Loathsome.

Everyone in Hollywood is lining up to work on it. And we think Hollywood has changed.

Are you suggesting what Tarantino said -- that the 13 year old girl who got raped in the ass by Polanski was merely a party girl who was down to bang -- was wrong????

I'm sorry, but R287's Lens comment made me giggle. And I have to agree.

Even the title of his film "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" is a take off. Leonardo Decaprio and Brad Pitt?? Does this man ever have an original idea?

Margot Robie is no Sharon Tate. Even the cynical have to agree she was beyond beautiful.

This sounds like the type of movie I would like, given the Manson family and the time period and all, but I'm put off by the casting of DiCaprio and Pitt. I just find them too A-list and imagine this film is just going to be more Hollywood tripe. Tarantino thinks he's so cutting edge, but he hasn't impressed me with his last few films.

R278

Sharon Tate's maid, Winifred Chapman was light-skinned. Since manson wanted to start a race war and make the murders look as if they had been committed by blacks, I wonder what would have happened had Chapman been in the house when the killers came. L.A. was under a strong heat wave when the murders occurred during the very early hours (around 12:30am) of August 9, 1969. With the heat being worse in the city Sharon had asked Chapman is she had wanted to stay the night since it was cooler up in the hills. Chapman had declined the offer and it was she who discovered the dead bodies the following morning when she arrived.

Looking the film up on IMDB the only Manson follower I see listed in the character line-up is Squeaky Fromme.

Tate was gorgeous. One thing I find interesting is that here, 50 years later she still has a very contemporary look. Catherine Deneuve (sic) aside, I can't think of a single woman who compares in beauty.

r299 I think because Sharon's look was pretty simple, not much makeup, usually flat shoes, little to no accessories, not very done up. This makes her look timeless in most cases. This picture for example of Sharon and Roman in Cannes in the late 1960s. All the woman around her in the photo have very 60s hairstyles and fashion. Sharon looks very modern in comparison.

[quote] I can't think of a single woman who compares in beauty.

Oh, good Lord, let's not start this all over again. She was beautiful just like plenty of other actresses, models, singers and even more non-celebs are beautiful.

If anyone "can't think of a single woman who compares in beauty" - they need to go out and travel around the world more.

[quote] Sharon's look was pretty simple, not much makeup, usually flat shoes, little to no accessories, not very done up. This makes her look timeless in most cases

Tate's trademark look was not "pretty simple". She was most known for her 60s-style dramatic makeup (lots of eyeliner, mascara, big hairdos,). She was a Texas girl after all. Did she sometimes get tired of it and go more casual? Yes. But her standard go-to trademark evening look was still very done up.

And she wore flat shoes because her partner, Roman Polanski, was very short (only 5'5'). She was around 5'6' and so would tower over him in high heels.

Here is Tate with Polanski and friends at London's Playboy club.

Tate often overdid the double eyeliner and fake lashes as well.

But I wouldn't say it was her fault, it was just the new 'cool' trend in the 60s. It was an interesting period look.

She looks like Olivia Palermo, who would have been a spot-on casting selection.

Robbie looks awful. Might as well have cast Beyonce.

R302

Polanski as well as her former fiance Jay Sebring were short men, like 5'4", 5'5" tops so of course she would have worn flats then. In photographs from several years earlier she was usually wearing mid-heeled pumps.

Who's going to play Joanne Worley or Eydie Gorme?

How the hell is Rumer Willis playing Joanna Pettet?!?!?!?!? I didn't know Stevie Wonder had gone into casting.

Has this wrapped shooting? Can't see them anywhere in LA shooting the last week or so.

Mama Cass is in this? What about Mama Michelle? She was involved with more of those folks than Cass.

Is that really Brad Pitt?

Don't Marge look divoon???? She's gonna be great as Sharon.

She does look great there, r311.

R311 she looks so photoshopped

You just know there's going to be a shootout at the end. After all it's a Tarantino movie.

R313 = Ruth Buzzi

As you can see, Rumer Willis bares next to nothing in resemblance to Joanna Pettet shown here circa 1971-72.

R315

Speaking of chins, maybe they should have cast Rumer as Ruth Buzzi. They could have a scene where Ruth Buzzi runs into Sharon Tate or one of them is invited to the other's home etc....

I know this thread is nearly two years old, but thank you, OP, for making sure all of us have to look at Quentin Tarantino's beautiful face every day this thread is bumped towards the top.

Dead eyes. A rapist protecter

R311 Yes, I actually really like this still. Very evocative, perhaps this movie will work.

The sister keeps saying that Robbie is not as beautiful as Sharon but few are and Robbie is living so ........

Speaking of movies on this subject, a few years ago I read an article in either variety or Hollywood reporter about a movie planned about the life of hairdresser Jay Sebring. It would be directed by James Franco (who would also star as Jay ) and would focus on Tate, Sebring and their friends during the mid to late 60s. It would be more about the rise of their careers and friendships. I thought it sounded very interesting but there have been no updates . I wonder if Franco changed his mind and discarded the idea. Too bad, I actually think he's a talented actor and director even if he is a bit pompous. I think it was an intriguing idea.

r316, Bridget Fonda could have played her well.

Tarantino will make Charlie Manson out to be the victim

r324 Why would you say that? When has Tarantino ever made the "wrong person" the victim?

[QUOTE]I know this thread is nearly two years old, but thank you, OP, for making sure all of us have to look at Quentin Tarantino's beautiful face every day this thread is bumped towards the top

😂 Yeah that picture makes me want to throw up.

I think it's the sheer smugness that does it for me.

LOL at r5 for getting her knickers in a twist over r1. It was funny!!!

I'm not reading too much about this, because GT's movies have the potential to be amazing entertainment, and I don't want it spoiled if it's the sort of movie he makes that I like.

I absolutely loved Pulp Fiction and Jackie Brown, and also really liked Reservoir Dogs, although it was a bit too unpolished for my tastes. But recently he's been Mr. Revenge Picture, cloaking his sadism in "empowerment" (Jews strike back, Blacks strike back, women strike back). And that I definitely am not interested in. I didn't even see Hateful 8 because I've been over him making that type of movie for a while.

If he returns to form I'm there. Of course the problem is finding out what type of movie it is without finding out too much about the movie. I had heard that Pulp Fiction was very good but didn't read too much about it, walked into the theater cold, and was blown away by how entertaining it was. I would love for that to happen again.

Has that whiner Debra Tate started the media rounds yet?

Deb gave her approval for this film. She don't mind Marge playing Sharon.

R331 I laughed when Deb was crying about Jennifer Lawrence possibly playing Sharon. But, JLaw was being considered for another role in the movie. Deb had egg on her face.

R332, who cares. JLAW is not playing Sharon . I am glad JLAW is still working.

the teaser

Who will play Polanski?

Grandpa Munster.

R336 You're totally right.

It looks great, can't wait to see it.

That teaser is fucking amazing.

This dude is playing Ro Polanski, R335

Has Polanski made any comments on this film being released?

"Any young gash for me to sample?"

Rafal Zawierucha actually looks more like Roman's friend Wojciech Frykowski, who was murdered with Sharon and the others.

This is one movie I'll miss. I can imagine the gore and violence, especially when it's a true story. No thanks..

This bro is playing Voy-Voy. He looks highly suckable. The real Voy-Voy did not.

Leo and Brad don’t talk like TV stars from the 1970s. They don’t have the tone right or something.

Rumer Willis as Joanna Pettet! How... creative.

Nobody is playing Sadie? Linda Kasabian?

I assumed Linda Kasabian was what pie-face JLaw was up for.

I think JLaw was up for the Squeaky Fromme part.

OUATIH will be one of three Manson-themed movies coming out this year, the other two being "Charlie Says", with Matt Smith and a bunch of other Brits, and the looks-like-complete-shit "Haunting of Sharon Tate", with Hillary Duff. The trailer for the latter film actually pissed me off.

Exploitation station.

Was it Nancy Wolfe who chillingly played Susan 'Sadie' Atkins in the 1976 tv movie of Helter Skelter? I remember staying up late to watch the 2 parter with school the next day. Some guy in our AV dept taped it and showed it during lunch in the cafeteria.

JFC. They showed that during lunch?!?!?!?

Is there any chance a new thread could be started to discuss this topic? Every time I see that picture of Tarantino at OP's link I start to feel super queasy. 🤢

Pitt and Decaprio don’t sound like 1970 when they make “taking his loads” jokes.

Seems like a shitty movie, so far.

r355 That's the joke and the reason why this thread has had such longevity. That photo of him makes me laugh every time this thread gets bumped. So fucking smug.

If the thread gets FF’d enough, the pic will disappear.

Frankenstein Tarantino

R356 I wondered about that joke, it seemed more of a modern double entendre. I wasn't around in the 70s so I'm not sure about the lingo.

He seems gay and closeted if you look at his work. The new rent-a-bride doesn’t help lol

Screening at Cannes.

Zzzzzz...

Tarantino is no longer relevant.

Finally saw this. Not bad.

[R29], the tragic event is that your mother didn't give into her initial raging impulse to abort you when she had the chance. She certainly didn't do the world any favours giving birth to something that transparently has something missing in the top story. This isn't funny. And neither is your puerile attempt at humour. I pour wax on your trabajo, I spit on you - PUH! And I curse your mother's mustache. You vile, sick little fuck.
