In brief

David Fincher directs Brad Pitt in a crime-noir follow-up to Tarantino's Hollywood love letter, arriving in theaters and on Netflix this fall. Cliff Booth trades stunt work for Hollywood fixer duties in a 1977-set sequel that transforms the original's fairytale into a violent crime story. Originally reported by Maxim.

Cliff Booth returns in new sequel

Brad Pitt reprises his role as the stuntman-turned-fixer in David Fincher's follow-up to Tarantino's Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, set eight years later in 1977.

From stuntman to Hollywood fixer

Booth has left his stunt work behind and now works as a bartender and projectionist while taking on extralegal jobs solving situations for Hollywood's elite and not-so-elite.

Led Zeppelin scores the trailer

The first trailer is set to Led Zeppelin's 1971 blues-rock classic Black Dog, establishing the film's darker, grittier tone compared to the original.

New cast joins the crime story

Elizabeth Debicki plays talent agent Karen Crosby, Scott Caan is TV megastar Charlie Peters, and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II plays pro football champion turned actor Roderick Harrison.

Fairytale becomes crime story

The original's romantic Hollywood fantasy transforms into a violent crime narrative involving mysterious gangsters, ambition, and desire across Los Angeles.

“What was once a fairytale is now a crime story, a cocktail of violence, ambition, and desire that could only happen in LA.”

Release dates announced

The Further Mis-Adventures of Cliff Booth gets a two-week IMAX run starting November 25, followed by a Netflix premiere on December 23.
