Along with providing the Roman Polanski information, Variety’s Justin Kroll also tweeted out that Quentin Tarantino’s movie will see Leonardo DiCaprio’s character being Sharon Tate’s neighbor, meaning there’s a good chance he’ll share some screen time with her and possibly Roman Polanski, too.
However, DiCaprio’s character has since been struggling to find work since then, having no luck making the transition to film and having to make guest appearances on other TV shows to make ends meet.
DiCaprio’s casting was reported last month, and it was later revealed that he will play an actor who starred on a successful Wester TV series called Bounty Law from 1958 to 1963.
Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise have also been mentioned as being in contention for Tarantino’s movie, and supposedly the role both actors have met for is not a prosecutor, but a stuntman, which would fit given the Hollywood setting.
