Manson Girls Movie Did Nancy do any consulting? The movie seems to be based on her life.from fangirltastic.comSusanna Lo is taking over the writing and directing of the long-talked-about
Manson Girls movie.
Beginning in February 2011, acclaimed filmmaker Susanna Lo (
Black & White: A Love Story) is the new director of the weird, once-starring-Lindsay-Lohan movie about the women of the Manson Family aptly entitled
The Manson Girls, taking over from Matthew Bright.
Here's the synopsis:
Manson Girls follows a young girl from a wealthy Malibu family who fell under Manson's spell. She was not one the "Family" members involved in the clan's infamous murder spree but was later imprisoned after she became involved with the Aryan Brotherhood and was convicted of being an accessory (after the fact) to murder.
Thora plays
Sandra Good, a Manson girl who did not partake in the murders because she was in jail for credit card fraud. Heather will play
Sadie Atkins, who participated in all of the murders Manson led his group to. Erin will play Summer Sunshine, who is not a known person in real life, which could indicate she is the protagonist.
ok i did not know what a "protagonist" was so I looked it up.It is defined as the main character in a story. Quote from Susanna Lo I decided I wanted to tell the story of eight of the girls, from their teenage years through to the minute before the Tate/LaBianca murders.
Manson Girls is a movie about how neglect, rejection and abuse can transcend into hopelessness, despondence and ultimately, violence. Just to be clear, this is not a story about Charles Manson. It is the story of eight of the girls, told from their prospective, before the Tate/LaBianca murders take place. And I never show Charlie Manson's face in the film.
Here is the line up as of Dec 1, 2010. There is no mention of Nancy Pitman in the line up. And two new M girls who I and, I'm sure you -have never heard of. Weird. So far the line up has changed once. What I posted is the latest. Thora Birch as Sandra Good Monica Keena as SqueakyLaura Harring as Alice Rainer <~~~ who????Googled Laura, she is like 45, who is Alice Rainer? Is she not a real character like Summer Sunshine mentioned above???? Estella Warren as GypsyHeather Matarazzo as SadieBrit Morgan as KatieStella Maeve as LindaPatti D'Arbanville as Jean Cooper <~~ again who?I google Patti because the name was familiar. This woman appears to be like 50 or older,who the hell is Jean Cooper? Another Summer Sunshine fake?Jennifer Landon as MaryChad Faust as TexMichael Monks as Danny DeCarloI don't know about this one. Are there not enough Manson girls to go around that they needs to make up at least one maybe three new characters? That part totally confuses me. What about Nancy? Is Nancy "Summer Sunshine" then? Where are Cappy and Kitty and Stephanie? No Bobby? And as we have read no Charlie. Bizarre. I can't even begin to think about how this is going to play out.I do know that someone is not going to be happy over all this new movie business.
