is a passion project for Sony studio chief Tom Rothman, and he strategically picked a corridor where that is devoid of big event pics, save for, which debuts Aug. 2. The hope is that the film will play into September, and then get a renewed boost from awards attention. Set in the winter and summer of 1969, the R-rated film is an intertwined twinned tale of a changing Hollywood and the Charlie Manson Family.
