Who doesn’t love Jack from Titanic? But what about the famed actor’s latest project? Will his latest venture be as inspiring as the rest?
Hollywood star Leonardo DiCaprio is finally set to star in Quentin Tarantino’s Manson movie, which will reteam the actor and director from 2012’s Django Unchained.
The new film, Tarantino’s ninth as director, already has August 9, 2019, release date.
DiCaprio will play an aging, out-of-work actor in the film. Margot Robbie, meanwhile, is being eyed for the role of Sharon Tate, reported an international magazine.
The movie is set in the 1969 Los Angeles during the summer of the Manson murders.
The release date coincides with the 50th anniversary of Tate’s murder at the hands of the Manson family.
The project will also mark DiCaprio’s first since winning the Oscar in 2016 for his performance in Alejandro G Inarritu’s The Revenant.

According to earlier reports, Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt have been circling the project with DiCaprio for what is known to be “two meaty” male roles.
The film is being produced by Harry Potter’s David Heyman, Tarantino, and Shannon McIntosh.
Opening on the 50th anniversary of the day that the Manson family committed the LaBianca murders and the day after Tate was killed, the film will head off against “Artemis Fowl,” Disney’s adaptation of the popular sci-fi and fantasy series.
Sony beat out several bidders, including Warner Bros. and Paramount, for rights to the film. The movie — shrouded in secrecy — is set in 1969 and is believed to involve Charles Manson and the Manson family murders. The director has told media outlets that it’s not a biopic, but is an ensemble film set during the tumultuous time period.
It’s the first film that Tarantino is releasing without the Weinstein Company.
