Leonardo DiCaprio to Star in Quentin Tarantino's Charles Manson Movie
Leonardo DiCaprio and Quentin Tarantino may be reuniting for the director's upcoming Charles Manson movie. The actor is in talks to star in the ninth film from the director, after having previously worked together on 2012's Django Unchained.
While exact plot details are being kept under wraps, the movie has been described as a 1969-set ensemble piece that in some way involves Manson and the murder of Sharon Tate.
Several big name stars are still circling the secretive project, with Margot Robbie and Tom Cruise being eyed for big roles.
After a heated bidding war, Sony picked up the rights to the feature back in November, and have set an Aug. 9, 2019 release date. That day also marks the 50th anniversary of the murders of Tate and her friends by the followers of Manson.
DiCaprio hasn't been seen on the big screen since his Oscar-winning turn in The Revenant, but has lined up numerous high-profile projects, including a reunion with longtime collaborator Martin Scorsese for a Teddy Roosevelt biopic at Paramount.

The prospect of Cruise in a Tarantino movie sounds epic to me.
DiCaprio was terrific in Django- this is very cool to hear.
