David Fincher & Brad Pitt Reunite for ‘The Continuing Adventures of Cliff Booth' + Plot Details

April 23, 2025 Jordan Ruimy

As you might already know, in a surprising move, Brad Pitt is set to step back into the shoes of Cliff Booth, the enigmatic stuntman from Quentin Tarantino’s “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.” This time, though, it won’t be Tarantino in the director’s chair—David Fincher is taking the reins, with a script still written by Tarantino.

Buried in a recent Deadline writeup about Fincher’s upcoming crime drama “Sinners” was a major scoop: Fincher’s next film will be titled “The Continuing Adventures of Cliff Booth.” Not just that, the film will reintroduce Pitt’s character in a very different light—as a Hollywood studio fixer.

The concept of Booth taking on that role isn’t entirely new. Tarantino explored the idea in the 2021 novelization of “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood,” fleshing out Booth’s backstory with a series of solo misadventures that suggested a much darker and more capable side to the character.

As a “fixer,” Booth would be the guy studios call when something—anything—needs to quietly disappear. Scandals, blackmail, problematic stars, even bodies. He operates in the shadows, loyal, unshakable, and totally unfazed by the dirt beneath Hollywood’s golden surface. It’s a natural evolution for a character already written as a war hero, stuntman, and possibly even a murderer.

According to reports, it was Pitt himself who floated the idea of bringing Fincher on board. The pair have a strong creative history together, having previously collaborated on “Se7en,” “Fight Club,” and “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.” Tarantino, who typically directs his own scripts, was reportedly open to stepping aside for Fincher—a rare shift that gives this project a distinct identity within the larger Tarantino-verse.

Unlike the 2019 original, which was a major theatrical release, this sequel will be made for Netflix. Fincher’s long-standing relationship with the streaming platform—cemented by his first-look deal—helped pave the way for the project to land there.

Production on ‘Cliff Booth’ is expected to begin in July, and if all goes according to schedule, a 2026 release is looking likely.
