Open Post: Hosted By The Time Angela Lansbury Rescued Her Daughter From Joining Charles Manson’s Cult
The passing of Dame Angela Lansbury made yesterday a very sad day in the midst of a very sad few years when it comes to the loss of the beloved stars of our most cherished Hollywood-made memories (I was still processing the loss of Betty White). And though I’ll continue to honor Angela by watching Bedknobs and Broomsticks for the 800th time, it’s also comforting to hear a story about her being as impressive in her real life as she was on the stage and screen. A few years ago, Angela recounted the tale of the time she had to step in to save her daughter from her spiral into drugs and rubbing elbows with the maniacal Charles Manson and his murderous cult in the hills of Malibu.
There Are No Naked Feet In The First Trailer For “Once Upon A Time In Hollywood”
The first trailer for Quentin Tarantino’s 9th movie, Once Upon A Time In Hollywood (alternate title based on the picture above: Leo Smells A Fart), has arrived. The good news is that it looks like QT may have taken our notes and decided not to use the N-word in every other sentence in this one. I guess the only way for him to avoid that was to not write any black characters (as far as I could tell from looking at IMDB) at which to hurl it. I guess Samuel L. Jackson has finally had enough now that he’s stacking up all those shiny Marvel coins.
The Same Dude Will Be Playing Charles Manson In “Once Upon A Time In Hollywood” And “Mindhunter”
There’s typecasting, and then there’s very, very, specific typecasting. And then there’s Charles Manson casting, which Australian actor Damon Herriman has fallen victim to. He’s been cast to play Charlie in two different productions. According to Collider, Damon has already filmed scenes as Charlie for the upcoming season of David Fincher’s Netflix series Mindhunter. And it’s just been announced that he was signed to play Charlie in Quentin Tarantino‘s Once Upon a Time In Hollywood which maybe they should considering renaming Twice Upon A Time.
Brad Pitt Has Joined Quentin Tarantino’s Manson Movie
According to Variety, Brad Pitt has signed on to Quentin Tarantino’s movie about the Manson Family murders, which will come out on the 50th anniversary of the day of the LaBianca murders (and a day after the murder of Sharon Tate, which I’m sure Debra Tate loves). Brad will play Cliff Booth, the longtime stuntman for western actor Rick Dalton, played by Leonardo DiCaprio (speaking of 90s hunks with a cult following). Brad was rumored to be in talks for a role as a detective, but that obviously didn’t work out. Oh, and we can stop calling it Quentin Tarantino’s Manson movie.
Everyone’s Working On A Charles Manson Movie Right Now
The next time someone complains that Hollywood only makes reboots, sequels, and superhero movies, you can add that they’re also pretty big on current citizen of Hell Charles Manson at the moment as well. Quentin Tarantino has what will probably be the most high-profile one (still currently untitled, but reportedly starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Margot Robbie). Trailing close behind it will be a story about three members of Charles Manson’s family starring Matt Smith and a ghost story movie about Sharon Tate starring Hilary Duff (what even).
Quentin Tarantino’s Manson Flick Will Open On The 50th Anniversary Of The Tate/LaBianca Murders
You read that right. In an indescribably tacky move, Sony Pictures has scheduled Quentin Tarantino’s upcoming Charles Manson movie to open on the 50th anniversary of the day his “Family” brutally murdered Sharon Tate and friends. This is genius marketing on Sony Pictures’ (and Quentin’s?) part! Hopefully, they can keep up the good work by snagging a fast food tie-in. “Do you have any Tex Watson toys left? No? Fine, I guess I’ll have the Patricia Krenwinkel one.” *pouts*
