What he plays, more specifically, is an actor who had his own Western show, Bounty Law, that ran on the air from 1958 to 1963.
His attempt to transition to movies didn’t work out and in 1969 — the film is set at the height of hippy Hollywood movement– he’s guesting on other people’s shows while contemplating going to Italy which has become a hotbed for low-budget Westerns.
Margot Robbie is being courted for the role of Sharon Tate, the former model and wife of director Roman Polanski, who was pregnant when she and a few friends were murdered by the Manson Family. Tarantino’s ninth film will be released on August 9, 2019 — the anniversary of Tate’s death.
Details about Quentin Tarantino’s new film have slowly (very slowly) begun to emerge in recent weeks, and following the casting of Leonardo DiCaprio, we now have a little more info on the untitled project’s plot — or at least DiCaprio’s corner of things. The film’s structure has been compared to Pulp Fiction, meaning it will follow a handful of intersecting stories (one of which is, presumably, the Manson Family murders), and a new report has revealed what we can expect from one of those threads.
