Brad Pitt has joined the cast of “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood,” Quentin Tarantino’s coming movie about the Manson Family murders. According to Variety, Pitt’s character Cliff Booth will be the stunt double for Leonardo DiCaprio’s washed up western star, Rick Dalton. DiCaprio’s character will be the next-door neighbor of Sharon Tate in Tarantino’s fictionalized version of Cielo Drive. “Both are struggling to make it in a Hollywood they don’t recognize anymore,” Tarantino said of Pitt and DiCaprio’s characters. Tarantino plans to release “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” on August 9, 2019, which will be the 50th anniversary of the Manson Family’s LaBianca murders.
