According to The Hollywood Reporter, Quentin Tarantino is working on a new movie about the Manson Family murders, making it his first-ever film based on a true story.

Tarantino has written the script and intends to direct the as-yet-untitled film. He hopes to begin filming next year and has begun pitching several actors, including Brad Pitt, Jennifer Lawrence, Margot Robbie, and - of course - Samuel L. Jackson.

He is still putting finishing up the film’s script, but the story will reportedly center on the 1969 murder of actress Sharon Tate and four others, carried out by Charles Manson and his followers. Deadline reports that Tarantino is eyeing Robbie to portray Tate and Pitt is being courted to play a detective investigating the murders.
