The director has reportedly approached Brad Pitt for an important role. Will he play the lead? Details are yet to be confirmed.

It is also speculated that Hunger Games actress Jennifer Lawrence will be part of the movie as well. The movie will also star Suicide Squad star Margot Robbie. While Pitt and Lawrence's roles remain disclosed, the New Daily said Robbie might play Sharon Tate, who was eight-and-a-half months pregnant at the time of her death.

The untitled movie might follow Sharon Tate's murder. Tate, a renowned actress and the wife of Roman Polanski, was murdered by Manson and his followers in 1969.

Manson ordered a group of his followers to attack a house in Benedict Canyon of Los Angeles assuming it was owned by a record producer who had rejected his music. Four followers used guns and knives to brutally kill Tate and four other people in the house. Manson and few members of his crew were sentenced to life imprisonment.

This will be his first movie based on true events, THR notes. The untitled film is expected to begin shooting in summer of 2018.
