"The Family" movie?

Director Mary Harron and writer Guinevere Turner (American Psycho) are making The Family, which will focus on the three young women who participated in the infamous 1969 cult murders. The script by Turner is based on Faith’s nonfiction book The Long Prison Journey of Leslie van Houten: Life Beyond the Cult, and on Ed Sanders’ controversial 1971 novel about the Manson Family murders, The Family, from which the film gets its title.

Are these people just trying to outdo each other making Charlie & followers look crazy and evil? This movie seems to have a different twist, as it looks like it's more about Susan, Leslie & Pat finally realizing the gravity of what they did. That might be worth watching if the film ever gets made.

I think that's the most interesting part about these crimes, how young girls became bloodthirsty killers. It didn't seem to bother Susan or Mary at all that Gary Hinman was killed. How do you go from a librarian and church choir singer to killing a good friend and not even caring?? It's not a simple mistake. It's not like getting drunk at the office party and making an ass out of yourself. This was mindbending.

Eddy's right, they're going to make movies that will get people to watch them. I personally wouldn't go see a movie about Sharon Tate. I think I know enough about her to last me a lifetime.

But I would like to see that Jay Sebring documentary. I don't really know that much about Jay and I'd be interested in knowing a lot more about him.
