Tarantino's Blockbuster Comeback: New Film Lands on Netflix After 7-Year Hiatus!
The new Netflix movie, <i>The Adventures of Cliff Booth</i>, will continue the story of Brad Pitt's character from Quentin Tarantino's <i>Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood</i>. Directed by David Fincher and penned by Tarantino, the film debuts in IMAX on November 25 before its global Netflix release on December 23, set in a different Hollywood in 1977.
Quentin Tarantino remains a pivotal and unique figure in Hollywood, celebrated for directing numerous classic motion pictures such as Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs, and Jackie Brown. Among his acclaimed works, Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood, the 2019 alt-history epic, stands out as his most recent directorial effort. This film introduced audiences to memorable characters like Rick Dalton, Sharon Tate, and Cliff Booth, and now, the adventures of one of these beloved characters are set to continue.
Later this year, fans will see the further exploits of Cliff Booth, Brad Pitt’s character from Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood, in a new Netflix movie titled The Adventures of Cliff Booth. After an initial shadow trailer appearance during the Super Bowl and the release of first images in March, Netflix has officially announced that the film will become available for streaming worldwide on December 23. In an exciting development for cinephiles, The Adventures of Cliff Booth will also have an exclusive two-week run in IMAX, beginning nearly a month earlier on November 25, offering audiences a premium viewing experience.
While Quentin Tarantino penned the script for The Adventures of Cliff Booth, he chose not to direct it himself. Tarantino reportedly felt that, as a sequel, it wasn't substantial enough to be his final directorial film. Instead, acclaimed director David Fincher, known for his work on films such as Zodiac and The Social Network, has been brought on board by Brad Pitt to helm the project. The film boasts an impressive cast, including Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Peter Weller, Elizabeth Debicki, Carla Gugino, and Scott Caan, alongside Brad Pitt.
Plot specifics for The Adventures of Cliff Booth are currently being kept under wraps. However, it has been confirmed that the story will be set in a significantly different version of Hollywood in 1977, eight years after the events of the original film, which took place in the summer of 1969. Unfortunately for fans of Rick Dalton, Leonardo DiCaprio will not be reprising his role in the sequel. For those wishing to revisit the original film, Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood is available on Hulu, and further updates on The Adventures of Cliff Booth, leading up to its IMAX and Netflix releases, will be provided by Collider.
