Joel Siegel, writing for the Hollywood Reporter, points out that there are two main reasons to wonder if this project will be handled in a socially responsible way.

Incidentally and no doubt for maximum PR purposes, the film is slated to be released on August 9, 2019, the 50th anniversary of Sharon Tate’s death.

DiCaprio is expected to co-star as Pitt’s stunt double.īut as it turns out, Debra Tate isn’t the only person expressing concerns about how this project will take shape, especially with Tarantino involved. Tarantino’s “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” is expected to depict a washed-up TV actor played by Pitt who lives next door to the home at 10050 Cielo Drive, Los Angeles, where Tate lived and where she and four others were murdered by Mason cult members.
