Hey! You know what would be really cheery? A nice film about Charles Manson who wrote poetry, wrote songs, hung around with the Beach Boys, dug The Beatles ‘White Album’ loads and… uh… instructed a gaggle of mad women to kill people for him.
One of Charlie’s most famous victims was Sharon Tate, who had a jolly night when Manson and his cronies broke into her house, beat and strangled her before repeatedly stabbing her and her unborn child. Happy! Happy! Joy! Joy!
That said, the story surrounding Tate’s murder is a fascinating (if incredibly grim) one. Manson wanted to start a race-war and this was the beginning of his awful plan. And at the centre of the story, is Tate, who could well be played by Lindsay Lohan in a new film called ‘Eyes Of A Dreamer’.
Lohan could be playing the Valley Of The Dolls star in Tyler Shields’ forthcoming Manson film.
The photographer-director has apparently approached Lindsay about the role, saying:
“We’ve worked together many, many times – she asked me about [Eyes], and I said, ‘Oh you should be Sharon Tate’, and she was like, ‘That would be amazing’.”
“Sharon Tate was a movie star. So I want [an actress who] you already have a backstory with. People have a backstory with someone like Lindsay. And I think it’s very relatable”
Tyler is looking to shoot in summer, but will be keeping his fingers crossed that Lindsay’s court cases don’t end up being a stumbling block for proceedings. Will he cast someone else if it does?
“We have to shoot the movie this year, so I don’t know. We’ll have to cross that bridge when we come to it. Hopefully that’s not the case”
Treated right, this grisly story could make for a very, very interesting film.
