Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon A Time In Hollywood has yet to be filmed, but it has already drawn heavy criticism due to its controversial subject matter.

The movie will focus on the fictional next door neighbours (played by Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt) of the real-life Sharon Tate (Margot Robbie), who was murdered by members of Charles Manson’s “family” on 9 August 1969, when she was eight-and-a-half months pregnant with her first child. The film has been scheduled for release on the 50th anniversary of her death (2019) – a decision which has been slammed as “classless” and “exploitative” by Tate’s sister, Debra.

“[Quentin Tarantino and other producers] are taking horrific situations and making them even more graphic than they were without any concern for the living victims of these crimes and I think that’s horrible and crass,” she said.

Now, though, the film has come under criticism once again – this time due to Tarantino’s casting decisions.

Taking to Twitter, Jameela Jamil – perhaps now best known for playing Tahani in The Good Place – has slammed Tarantino for hiring Emile Hirsch, noting that the actor was arrested for attacking a woman three years ago.

“Cool,” wrote Jamil. “Emile Hirsch strangled my tiny female best friend until she blacked out at a party in front of dozens of witnesses at Sundance Film Festival (and was convicted) but Tarantino just cast him in a movie.”
