The Adventures of Cliff Boothwritten by Quentin Tarantino and directed by David Fincher, is coming soon to Netflix
Quentin Tarantino might not be directing The Adventures of Cliff Booth, the sequel to 2019's Once Upon a Time in Hollywoodbut according to a new trailer, the upcoming Netflix movie has all its hallmarks.
In a surprise clip dropped during Sunday night's Super Bowl LV, we see the titular stuntman, played by Brad Pitt, running around 1970s Los Angeles. It opens with a scene of him talking about the events of the first film. “I don't possess many talents,” he says. “But I know better than getting in the way of a good story.” The film, which has a script by Tarantino and is directed by David Fincher, takes place several years after he ran into Charles Manson and his so-called Family in 1969 (if we're to believe a billboard for the movie Looking for Mr. Goodbar, the new film is set in 1976 or 1977).
Not a ton is known about the movie at this point — and unfortunately, the trailer doesn't really change that. We do know that Scott Caan, Elizabeth Debicki, and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II are set to appear in the film, and that Leonardo DiCaprio — Pitt's costar in the first film — is not. But it's still a glimpse into what is sure to be a gritty throwback and a love letter to a lost era of Hollywood.
