Sony Pictures has brought forward the release of Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. The film, featuring Leonardo DiCaprio, Brad Pitt and Margot Robbie in the lead, is based on the murder of actor Sharon Tate and three others at the hands of the Manson family cult. It was earlier scheduled to open on August 19 next year, commemorating the 50th anniversary of the murders. However, to avoid any possibility of a controversy, the makers have moved up the release date by two weeks to July 26, 2019, reported Variety. Leo, 43, plays Rick Dalton, an ageing, out-of-work actor in the film, with Brad, 54, as his longtime stunt double named Cliff Booth. The two characters happen to be the neighbours of Tate, who will be portrayed by Margot. The cast also includes Al Pacino, Burt Reynolds, Damian Lewis, Emile Hirsch and Dakota Fanning.

 

Patrick Schwarzenegger and Sasha Lane will star in the supernatural thriller Daniel Isn’t Real. The two actors will be joined by Miles Robbins, and Hannah Marks, reported Variety. The film will be directed by Some Kind of Hate helmer Adam Egypt Mortimer. The story follows a troubled college freshman who suffers a violent family trauma and resurrects his childhood imaginary friend Daniel (Schwarzenegger) to help him cope. The thriller is based on the novel in This Way I Was Saved by Brian DeLeeuw, who has co-penned the script.
