Margot Robbie will be acting alongside Leonardo DiCaprio as Rick Dalton, a former star of a western TV series. Playing his longtime stunt double, named Cliff Booth, is Brad Pitt. Both of them are struggling to make it in a Hollywood they just don’t recognise anymore, but Rick has a very famous next door neighbour in Sharon Tate.
Sharon Tate was married to the director Roman Polanski, before she was brutally murdered in 1969 by the Charles Manson ‘family’. Although the movie is based in that time, Manson and the murders are not the focus of the plot. The story is said to be a Pulp Fiction-esque film of interlocking tales based in hippy Hollywood in the 60’s.

Filming started in Hollywood this summer, ahead of Sony Pictures release date of July 26, 2019.
