David Fincher to Direct Netflix Follow-Up to 'Once Upon a Time in Hollywood'

Brad Pitt will reprise his Oscar-winning role as Cliff Booth in a derivative project based on Quentin Tarantino's scrapped script, with production starting summer 2025.

David Fincher will helm a Netflix-backed follow-up to Quentin Tarantino's 2019 film, focusing on Brad Pitt's character, Cliff Booth, rather than serving as a direct sequel.
The project is built on Tarantino's shelved script for 'The Movie Critic,' which has been reimagined to expand the character's story.
Leonardo DiCaprio's involvement remains uncertain, with reports suggesting the film may not feature his character, Rick Dalton, prominently or at all.
The film marks the first time Tarantino has allowed another director to handle one of his scripts since early in his career, signaling a notable creative shift.
With a reported $200 million budget, production is set to begin in California in summer 2025, exclusively for Netflix without a theatrical release.
