One of the names that we’ve been hearing about for a role in Quentin Tarantino‘s next project, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, has been Margot Robbie. The film is set in 1960s Hollywood and involves the Manson Family murders, and Tarantino was looking at Robbie for the role of Sharon Tate. Now Robbie has confirmed that she has indeed been cast in the movie. She joins the previously cast Leonardo DiCaprio, who will play a TV actor looking to make it in Hollywood and Tate’s neighbor, and Brad Pitt as his friend and stunt double who shares his aspirations.

In addition to that, a group of notable actors are now in talks for various roles in the film. This includes Burt Reynolds, Kurt Russell (who starred in the director’ last project, The Hateful Eight), and Tarantino regulars Tim Roth and Michael Madsen.

Quentin Tarantino‘s penultimate film will be set in 1960s Hollywood at a time when the hippy movement was at its peak and the infamous Charles Manson and his crazy cult members killed Sharon Tate.

Among the actors he wanted for his newest film are Brad Pitt, Samuel L. Jackson, Margot Robbie, Al Pacino, and Tom Cruise.

Well, you can scratch one of those names off the list as Pitt will be joining the film as one of the friends of DiCaprio’s character. The director has also officially titled his ninth film Once Upon A Time In Hollywood. More on the story below.
