Quentin Tarantino is working on a movie about one of the most gruesome murders in Hollywood history.
The Oscar-winning director is finishing up a script about Charles Manson's cult and the killings that occurred in the late '60s, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The trade publication reports that the script does include the murder of Sharon Tate, the actress and wife of director Roman Polanski, who was killed while pregnant by Manson's followers in August 1969. In 1971, Manson and some of his followers were sentenced to life imprisonment for Tate's murder and several other killings that summer.

This movie might be one of Tarantino's last projects. In November 2016, the famed 54-year-old director revealed during a Q&A at the Adobe Max creativity conference that he's only going to direct two more films -- rounding his career feature total out at 10 -- and then he's quitting film making for good. "Hopefully, the way I define success when I finish my career is that I'm considered one of the greatest filmmakers that ever lived," he said. "And, going further, a great artist, not just filmmaker."
