The film will take a pretty fictionalized approach to the Manson murders – I mean, this is a Tarantino movie – following Leonardo DiCaprio as a former TV star and his stunt double, played by Brad Pitt in Robert Redford cosplay.
Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, Tarantino’s dive into 1960s Hollywood and the crimes of Charles Manson’s followers, was originally set for an August 9, 2019, 50 years after the horrendous murders at the home on Cielo Drive.
This summer’s releases have changed a bit too, with the Slender Man movie pushed up to August 10, and Sundance favorite Searching starring John Cho now arriving August 24.
Both are struggling to make it in a Hollywood they don’t recognize anymore.
