Just checked, it does say 1972 on the first one I found (posted by SpainyB but I think I watched a different upload), but that's the one.
As for the Aquarius soundtrack, I feel the same way but I guess I'm better able to roll with that kind of easy reaching.

Starting to believe that a Tarantino movie about John Phillips (set against the Manson era) might actually work - holding off until the inevitable script leakage and tantrum.

I watched Valley of the Dolls the other day for the first time, it was p good... Sharon Tate had a very dated line that totally caught me off guard, talking to Neely O'Hara, complaining about her hairdresser: "Oh Neely, I wouldn't worry. You know how bitchy fags can be."

So anyway:

A source tells The Hollywood Reporter that the Tarantino film has to make $375 million worldwide to break even.

jesus, did Django even make that much worldwide?

This is all going to be his origin story/tie-in for the entire Tarantino Cinematic Universe, you realize.

Sony Pictures has won the showdown for the right to finance and distribute Quentin Tarantino’s next movie, which has the working title #9.
The "working title" is encouraging, as it suggests that there is a small hope that he might not actually be doing this Manson thing, right?

Django was his (sorry) New Jersey.

They'll be hoping for Django size numbers rather than The Hateful Eight's $145m.

Word is that the Manson murders will be more a background element/'something in the air,' which strikes me as the smart way around it.

reports about Manson dying are kind of perennial, i know he's in the hospital but this has happened like 12-14 times in my lifetime

QT's made maybe 2 films that are better than Summer of Sam.

In Loving Memory ofCharles Manson
THE NINTH FILM BY QUENTIN TARANTINO

According to Deadline’s Mike Fleming Jr., in Quentin Tarantino’s next project, Leonardo DiCaprio will play “an actor who had his own Western show, Bounty Law, that ran on the air from 1958 to 1963. His attempt to transition to movies didn’t work out and in 1969—the film is set at the height of hippy Hollywood movement—he’s guesting on other people’s shows while contemplating going to Italy which has become a hotbed for low-budget Westerns.”

That's definitely a unique lens through which to examine the Manson murders.

And that cowboy was named . . . "Shorty" O'Shea. And now you know the rest of the story!

I mean I doubt it but it would be very Tarantinoesque for him to tell the story via this peripheral nobody.

Clint Eastwood . . . secretsssssss!

the Shorty angle would be great if that’s what he’s doing
― Squeaky Fromage (VegemiteGrrl), Friday, 19 January 2018 18:02 (six years ago) link
That piece says Tom Cruise may be in the film too, so I doubt he's going to keep this to one plot (or 2.5 hours).
― ice cream social justice (Dr Morbius), Friday, 19 January 2018 18:04 (six years ago) link
Doesn't literally match up with Eastwood, he went to Europe in '64.

The film will be released worldwide on August 9, 2019. Opening on the 50th anniversary of the day that the Manson family committed the LaBianca murders and the day after Tate was killed
Seriously, fuck this guy and the studio who thinks this is a cool idea.

"DiCaprio will play Rick Dalton, former star of a western TV series, while Pitt will be his longtime stunt double, Cliff Booth."
Two of the most famous and expensive actors in the world, set to play two people--and I've read a fair amount about the murders over the years--I've never heard of (are they fictionalized?)

I'm not so sure. Every movie he's done since Jackie Brown (besides maybe Death Proof) has been a heavily stylized/high concept genre exercise or period piece. The fact that this is the first movie he's made based on real events, and that it takes place in the relatively recent past suggest that he'll take a more realistic approach to the material. I don't know how you can do this with cartoon characters. I have a feeling it'll be closer to Pulp Fiction than Jackie Brown w/r/t all that, which is fine by me.
― flappy bird, Friday, 2 March 2018 03:12 (six years ago) link
I watched Reservoir Dogs for the first time in years, some if it has aged really bad (his Madonna spiel seems particularly repugnant now) but it really did show up his later stuff as being so flabby, so labored in accomplishing relatively little.
