Quentin Tarantino's Manson murders movie

Are there any indications that this is "about" the Manson murders, rather than adjacent?

QT has said a million times it's not about the murders, "it's about LA in 1969"

I'm afraid it's mainly about Quentin Tarantino

There are an awful lot of people/characters close to the murders for them to not feature heavily, at least.

can QT just die on an island in the South Indian Ocean?

To imagine a thousand-post thread in which we debate the finer points of how a new movie of his sucks is almost as unendurable as remembering January 2017.

this one will be his best since Death Proof probably, maybe Kill Bill. Never understood the love for Inglorious Basterds.

Isn't that supposed to be the 'family' at one brief point as the camera scans past?

No Pacino means what.. he isn't in it much i'm guessing?

xp: the group of girls at 0:46?

Never mind that, Manson's in the trailer!

xp Yeah. I wonder if this is going to be like that ep of Mad Men where there's this creepy vibe and a strAnge guy but no one says who it is.

No:

"As long as I'm alive, and as long as I'm rich, the New Beverly will be there, showing double features in 35mm," Tarantino said.

tough to tell from the trailer what this would be about but the movie *looks* good, certainly.

As far as IG I recall my wife got pretty emotional about it, surprisingly even for her; her dad escaped the Germans, barely, about four or five times. He never talked about the holocaust, she never dealt with it herself, it’s too tough for her. The movie was a sort of way to deal with it, unexpectedly? She cannot watch more realistic holocaust films, Schindler’s and The Pianist and others are no-go’s. I doubt her reaction was the same as others, my reaction was more a visceral one to the story and several outstanding scenes. So her POV on her viewing experience was interesting.

DiCaprio's character lives next door to Sharon Tate in the movie

I'm sure he'll encounter Charlie at least once

Never understood the love for Inglorious Basterds.

i like IG just fine. never understood the hate for Django. prob my favorite of his since the 90s w IG coming in at a close 2nd. (but tbf did not see Death Proof or KB2)

I'm in.

Incredible cast listing. My fave credit:

Nicholas Hammond as Sam Wanamaker

Why is Sam Wanamaker in it?

Luke Perry plays Wayne Maunder, the real-life star of the Western TV shows Custer and Lancer.

Nicholas Hammond plays Sam Wanamaker, the actor and director. Wanamaker mostly worked in the UK having fled America during the McCarthy hearings. But his occasional forays back to the US included directing Maunder in Custer.

xp Yeah. I wonder if this is going to be like that ep of Mad Men where there's this creepy vibe and a strAnge guy but no one says who it is.

Not going to happen, but would love it if Roger Sterling or Don Draper or more realistically Megan Draper featured in this.

We need Harry Crane carousing w/a hooker somewhere in the background.

Dakota Fanning ... Squeaky Fromme

what a time to be alive?

a lot of children of hollywood in this film:

Harley Quinn Smith
Margaret Qualley
Rumer Willis
Maya Hawke

probably some more. i suppose this is what you call "meta" casting (although i guess casting always is)

also, this is most millennial name ever:

Hayley Malia Johnson

There's also someone named "Parker Love Bowling" in this, but that's more weird sounding than millennial.

a plurality of current hollywood stars under 30 or so are, in one way or another, legacy cases

Weird trailer--didn't know what to make of the end of it. If a trailer leaves you puzzled, that's a good thing.

keep reading this thread title as

"Quentin Tarantino murders Manson movie"

Damon Herriman (born 31 March 1970) is an Australian actor known for his film and television work in Australia and the United States. He is perhaps best known for his portrayal of Dewey Crowe in Justified. He will portray Charles Manson in both the Netflix series Mindhunter and the Quentin Tarantino film Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (both 2019).

franchise crossover!

He doesn't look like him so God knows what's going on there.

I agree clemenza, it's a shit trailer, his teaser trailers used to be great, this is practically an outtakes roll. it doesn't even work as a vague/mood piece teaser. Whatever there's probably going to be 70 of them

He could release the whole film as trailers!

this will be up-Quentin's-asshole shit

The trailer makes it look very boring, visually - like its promoting the wardrobe instead of the film. Makes it seem like it'll be yet another 2010s movie that just looks like an expensive TV show.

that's almost guaranteed!

For what it's worth, I said the trailer was weird, not terrible--it wasn't what I expected...I don't even know what I expected. It seems to be less about Manson than I maybe thought. And I didn't get the final thing where the girl whispers to DiCaprio that he's a great actor, and DiCaprio starts crying. So it left me a little puzzled, and that's better than a trailer that spells out the film from start to finish.

idk i think it looks fun

Charlie looks very friendly.

I'm not getting interested in this until I find out if it's shorter than 2:30.

Quentin up his own ass mining for Hollywood / hippie shit in 1969 >>>>>>>>>>> Quentin up his own ass mining for Westerns

xp I would put $100 on this being at least 150 min.

He's crying at the end because he's a conceited actor

I agree that it's nice for once to have a trailer that doesn't reveal the whole plot and best jokes/moments and instead leaves you wondering what the thing is even about.

Maybe those are the best jokes/moments?

ahah touché !

Not that there were any jokes I could spot.

That's the point !
Anyway, for all the Manson talks, I get the impression it's mostly a movie about... making movies ?

regarding his latest movies, I really enjoyed Death Proof, liked some moments in IB and Django was OK.
I haven't bothered watching The Hateful Eight...
Overall, at this point, I think my favourite movies of his are Jacky Brown and Death Proof.
