Tarantino has reportedly finished the script for the film, which was earlier reportedly set to centre on the notorious Charles Manson murders.
However, Deadline reports that while the film will involve Manson, that will be a small part of the story, in a similar was as Adolf Hitler the person was a small part of World War II-set Inglourious Basterds.
The new film, currently being referred to as #9, is said to be a late '60s or early '70s Los Angeles drama which could be compared to Pulp Fiction more than any other previous Tarantino film.
Roles are reported to have been written specifically for Samuel L Jackson, Pitt and DiCaprio, all of whom have worked with Tarantino before, while Margot Robbie and Jennifer Lawrence are also rumoured to be wanted for the film.
Tarantino is said to be seeking around US$100 million for the movie and is offering it to every major studio with the exception of Disney.
