David Fincher to Direct Netflix Sequel to Tarantino's 'Once Upon a Time in Hollywood'

Brad Pitt reprises his Oscar-winning role as Cliff Booth in a $200 million project based on Quentin Tarantino's script, with production starting summer 2025.

  • David Fincher will direct the sequel to 'Once Upon a Time in Hollywood,' marking a rare instance of Quentin Tarantino not directing his own screenplay.
  • Brad Pitt returns as Cliff Booth, the charismatic stuntman, while Leonardo DiCaprio's involvement as Rick Dalton remains uncertain.
  • The project originates from Tarantino's scrapped 'The Movie Critic' script and will explore Booth's story further in a 'derivative' sequel format.
  • Netflix will exclusively produce and distribute the film, reflecting the growing trend of bypassing theatrical releases for streaming platforms.
  • With a $200 million budget, the film is set to begin production in summer 2025, reuniting Fincher and Pitt for their fourth collaboration.
