Cliff Booth Sequel: Fincher Replaces Tarantino at Helm
4 Aug
Summary
- David Fincher will direct the Cliff Booth sequel, replacing Tarantino.
- The film moves to Netflix after Sony's distribution plans changed.
- The sequel is set in 1977, following events after the first film.
David Fincher has taken the directorial reins for the follow-up to Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, focusing on Brad Pitt's character, Cliff Booth. Originally intended for a 2026 release by Sony with Quentin Tarantino directing, the project shifted due to Tarantino's decision not to direct.
Fincher's established relationship with both Brad Pitt and Netflix led to the film's move to the streaming giant. The sequel, titled The Adventures of Cliff Booth, is set in 1977 and sees Booth navigating a different landscape within the movie business.
Netflix is planning a significant theatrical release for the film, including a two-week run in IMAX theaters starting November 25, before its streaming debut on December 23. This marks a notable theatrical push for a Netflix original film.
