David Fincher and Brad Pitt are set to collaborate once again, this time to bring to life a sequel to Quentin Tarantino's Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. According to The Playlist, this unexpected project is slated for release on Netflix, leveraging Fincher's ongoing partnership with the streaming platform. If all goes as planned, the untitled sequel will see Pitt reprising his role as the stunt double, Cliff Booth.
The script, which Fincher acquired, evolved from Tarantino's shelved project titled The Movie Critic, initially intended to be Tarantino's final film. However, Tarantino decided against letting the concept fade away and has entrusted Fincher with its realization. Netflix reportedly secured the screenplay for $20 million, with a projected budget of $200 million, aiming to start filming in California come July.
While no additional casting has been confirmed, it's noted that Leonardo DiCaprio will not return as Rick Dalton. Both Fincher and Pitt have cleared their schedules to focus solely on this ambitious sequel. Deadline has also confirmed the development of this sequel, noting that Pitt received Tarantino's approval to pitch the script to Fincher.
Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, released in 2019, has been celebrated as a significant achievement in Tarantino's oeuvre. The sequel, however, faces the challenge of living up to its predecessor's well-received conclusion. Tarantino's 2021 novelization of the film further enriched the narrative, particularly around Cliff Booth's backstory, including details about the mysterious circumstances surrounding his wife's death. This novelization could play a role in the upcoming sequel, though its exact influence remains to be seen.
