Quentin Tarantino is undeniably one of Hollywood's most legendary and unique figures, known for crafting numerous classic motion pictures. Among his highly acclaimed works is the 2019 alt-history epic, "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood," which stands as his most recent directorial endeavor.

The story of Brad Pitt’s character, Cliff Booth, is slated to continue later this year with a new Netflix movie titled "The Further Mis-Adventures of Cliff Booth." While Quentin Tarantino penned the script for this sequel, he ultimately decided not to direct it, feeling it wasn't substantial enough to be his final film. Instead, acclaimed director David Fincher, known for his work on "Zodiac" and "The Social Network," has been brought on board by Pitt to helm the project.
Plot specifics for "The Further Mis-Adventures of Cliff Booth" remain largely under wraps, but it has been confirmed that the film will be set in 1977, eight years after the original movie's events, portraying a distinctly different version of Hollywood. In a significant cast update, Leonardo DiCaprio will not be reprising his role as Rick Dalton.
