Tarantino's Manson murders film

[Custard]

Apparently it's his next one -

Expected cast is Brad Pitt as the inspector, Jennifer Lawrence as a Manson Family member, and Margot Robbie as Sharon Tate

I thought he was doing another western, so this is quite the left-turn

If Tarantino pulls through with this project it will become the first Tarantino film to be based on true events and will likely differ in style from his normal work.

Could he surprise everyone and actually handle the subject matter with a bit of sensitivity? I dunno...

Wasn't there some talk about Lawrence playing Tate? Tate's sister is not keen in any case...

[biggytitbo]

Gotta by Cruise as Manson, he's a scientologists and the perfect height aswell.

[Sin Agog]

SLJ as the voice of Tate's unborn baby.

I doubt it somehow. It's such a horrible story, anyway. Even Joe Sensitive's Ultra-sensitive adaptation in Sensitive-vision would make for a pretty bleak evening out

I misread the title as Mansion and thought he was going to do a Murder She Wrote.




I don't think Tarantino's style lends itself to 'based on a true story' type narratives.

Base it on an untrue story then, Vincent Bugliosi did.

[Blumf]

Does this mean Tarantino is turning into Oliver Stone? I'm expecting a bio of John Hinckley Jr. with SLJ to play Reagan.

Here we go...

[BlodwynPig]

This sounds tiresome

[thecuriousorange]

Michael Sheen as Roman Polanski, I reckon.

[Bad Ambassador]

Someone's already made the joke about Tarantino's famous sensitivity and light touch, I see.

[Mini]

Will it be an Inglourious Basterds style revisionist comedy number then, with Pitt killing Manson on a helter skelter at the end?

[Sin Agog]

I love that Steve Railsback, the guy who put in the best ever performance as Manson in the '70s TV movie, appeared in an episode of Decker.

Jello says...

He already has a gripe with Tarantino, btw:

Jello Biafra condemns Dead Kennedys for licensing song to "Grindhouse".

The scene is actually in the "Planet Terror" film directed by Rodriguez. Tarantino himself is pointing a gun at a disabled amputee woman's head yelling "Dance, Bitch!" as the Nouvelle Vague cover of "Too Drunk to Fuck" plays from a boombox. The terrified woman later "wins" by killing Tarantino, but that excuse does not rescue this at all. I wrote every note of that song and this is not what it was meant for.

Some people will do anything for money. I can't help but think back to how prudish Klaus Flouride was when he objected to H.R. Giger's painting on the "Frankenchrist" poster, saying he couldn't bear to show it to his parents. I'd sure love to be a fly on the wall when he tries to explain putting a song in a rape scene for money to his teenage daughter.

[Mister Six]

Sounds like a fucking idiot.

I think Jim Carrey could be great in a Tarantino fillm. Mike Myers was, but I mean a meatier role.

Which actors do you think would benefit most from a Tarantino-enabled comeback? That used to be his thing. Stallone would be good in one last quality film.

[greenman]

I spose the glaring one is Nick Cage isn't it? he would probably be better of going back to Herzog again though.

[spamwangler]

This will probably get overshadowed by the release of Nicolas Winding Refn's Baby P biopic

[Custard]

Lynch's Purple Aki biopic will scoop up all them Oscars

[Butchers Blind]

Lars von Trier's 'The Ron Hayward Story' will be the hit of the festival circuit.

[Phil_A]

I love that Steve Railsback, the guy who put in the best ever performance as Manson in the '70s TV movie, appeared in an episode of Decker.

Railsback also played Ed Gein as well as Duane Barry in the X-Files, seems like the poor guy is basically typecast as psychos.

Has Nick Nolte been in one? Give him the role of George Spahn (who sounds like a guy I'd be much more interested in seeing a film about than Manson directly tbh)

BUUUMP

There's a synopsis for this on Wikipedia now, which I have already referred to to others as "monumentally deranged".

The final paragraph is the work of a damaged mind.

[mothman]

Don't we have a thread for this already?

[bgmnts]

Lena Dunham? Get fucked, film.

[St_Eddie]

This thread was first but yes, discussion has moved over to the much more appropriately titled thread.

hear, hear

Back in Los Angeles, while escorting a flirtatious girl named Pussycat to the Spahn Movie Ranch, Booth learns she is a member of the Manson Family led by cult leader Charles Manson. Suspiciously, Booth and Dalton arrive at the ranch where they walk into a murder plot as the Manson Family have kidnapped Tate, Sebring, Abigail Folger, Voytek Frykowsi, and several other hostages, intending to kill them. Bruce Lee arrives onto the scene unannounced, ready to fight, saying he had been observing the family for days and suspected them of possible violence. Together, Dalton, Booth and Lee brutally defeat the Family in a shoot-out/kung-fu showdown. Manson arrives to briefly check in on the family, stunned that his murder plot was thwarted, but is killed by Booth before he has a chance to react to the change of events. Tate and the others are saved, but Booth dies from fatal injuries sustained in the fight. Despite his career having not amounted to his ambition, Dalton acknowledges that it is the end of the 1960s, and the Hollywood spirit will live on. And then, right, a T REX comes smashning in, but BRUCE LEE PUNCHES IT INTO SPACE. The MAYOR gives them all a lifetime pass to ALTON TOWERS. THE END
