DiCaprio, 43, plays Rick Dalton, an ageing, out-of-work actor in the film, with Pitt, 54, as his longtime stunt double named Cliff Booth. The two characters happen to be the neighbours of Tate, who will be portrayed by Robbie

Pacino, 78, will play Marvin Shwarz, the agent of Dalton, reported variety.

 

The film's cast also includes Burt Reynolds, Timothy Olyphant, Damian Lewis, Emile Hirsch, Dakota Fanning.

Three Tarantino regulars - Kurt Russell ("The Hateful Eight"), Tim Roth ("Reservoir Dogs"), and Michael Madsen ("Kill Bill") will also be making appearance in small/cameo-style roles.

The film will release on August 19 next year commemorating the 50th anniversary of the murders.
