According to a report from THR, Quentin Tarantino has been quietly putting together his next movie, and is talking to A-list actors for what is described as a unique take on the Manson Family murders. The untitled project will be written and directed by Tarantino, with THR saying that the story's center will be on Sharon Tate, the actress and wife of director Roman Polanski who was murdered by Manson and his followers in 1969. Sources for THR also say that Tarantino is putting the finishing touches on the script, with Brad Pitt and Jennifer Lawrence both having been approached about the project. The plan is to shoot in the summer of 2018, with a release date still to be determined.

In an exclusive report from THR, Guy Ritchie and Disney Studios are having difficulty finding their lead for the live action remake of Aladdin. While two big names were mentioned in both Riz Ahmed and Dev Patel, THR is now saying Ritchie and the studio are going back to the drawing board in the hopes of a finding an unknown actor that can act and sing, and who is of Middle-Eastern or Indian descent. Filmmakers will now go back to dig through the tapes once again, with Disney also bringing on Mary Poppins Returns producer Marc Platt, and Chris Montan, an executive music producer on Disney’s Frozen.

According to Deadline, The Shallows helmer Jaume Collet-Serra has emerged as the frontrunner to direct Suicide Squad 2. The studio has looked at a number of filmmakers — Mel Gibson included — but sources for Deadline say the studio is now focused on Collet-Serra to take the reins of the franchise that will see Will Smith and Margot Robbie return in the ensemble. No word yet on other cast or how close Collet-Serra is to a deal.

According to a report from Variety, Clint Eastwood has tapped Anthony Sadler, Alek Skarlatos, and Spencer Stone to play themselves in his next movie, The 15:17 to Paris. The film will tell the story of the three Americans who stopped a terrorist on a train bound for Paris. Jenna Fischer, Judy Greer, and Ray Corasani will also join the real-life heroes in the film, with three young actors also cast to play the younger versions of Sadler, Skarlatos and Stone.
