Leonardo DiCaprio in Talks to Headline Quentin Tarantino’s ‘Manson’ Film
Leonardo DiCaprio will reunite with Quentin Tarantino and star in the filmmaker’s Charles Manson themed film, an individual with knowledge of the project tells TheWrap.
The film will be DiCaprio’s first film since winning the Oscar for “The Revenant.”
The untitled film is set in Los Angeles in the 1960s and ’70s and is believed to involve the actress and model Sharon Tate, who was murdered by members of Charles Manson’s notorious “family” in 1969. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
