Pitt stars as his stunt double named Cliff Booth. Sounds like a pretty average plot, right? Well, there's a twist. In the film, the characters live next door to real-life Manson family murder victim named Sharon Tate. The role of Sharon will be played by Margot Robbie. Instagram The film will also feature other well-known actors including Dakota Fanning as Lynette “Squeaky” Fromme (who attempted to assassinate President Gerald Ford). Other cast members include Burt Reynolds, Al Pacino, Kurt Russell, and more. The leading actors are working closely with the director, Quentin Tarantino, on the project. Sharon Tate, her unborn child, and four others were killed at her Los Angeles home in 1969. Instagram Truth Behind The Film Debra Tate, Sharon Tate's sister, has expressed her criticism of the film being made. She claims that Hollywood just sensationalizes real-life murders for the purpose of entertainment. “It’s been exploitative since day one,” she said in an interview to Deadline. “It’s been the case since the media went crazy and has perpetuated mistruths, making things even more salacious. It’s now morphed into something that is more fictionalized than truth at this point.” View this post on Instagram A post shared by Once Upon A Time In Hollywood (@onceinhollywood) The film is set for release on August 9, 2019, which is coincidentally the 50th anniversary of Tate’s death.
