Tarantino Praises Fincher as Director for Cliff Booth Sequel

In a recent development, acclaimed director Quentin Tarantino has announced that he will not be directing the sequel to his 2019 film, which was set to feature the return of Brad Pitt's character Cliff Booth. Instead, Tarantino has passed the directorial duties to acclaimed filmmaker David Fincher, who will helm the project for Netflix.

Tarantino explained his decision, stating that he didn't want his 10th and final film to be a sequel, as he wanted to explore uncharted territory. "I love this script, but I'm still walking down the same ground I've already walked. It just kind of unenthused me," he said. However, Tarantino praised Fincher, calling him and himself the two best directors, and expressed excitement that Fincher wants to adapt his work.

Despite not directing, Tarantino will remain involved in the project as the scriptwriter and a producer, ensuring he will "be around if they need me" during the production process. The director also discussed his decision to scrap his once-planned final film, "The Movie Critic," citing the challenge of making a compelling movie about a seemingly boring profession.
