Quentin Tarantino's next film to explore the Manson Family murders

July 12 (UPI) -- Quentin Tarantino is developing a new film that will feature the Manson Family murders that took place in 1969.

The filmmaker, who has penned the script and will direct the film, is looking to bring A-list stars Brad Pitt and Jennifer Lawrence into the project, noted The Hollywood Reporter. Pitt previously worked with Tarantino in 2009's Inglorious Basterds.
