Brad Pitt is back as Cliff Booth, the laid-back but dangerous stuntman from Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon A Time... In Hollywood. Netflix has unveiled the first full trailer for The Further Mis-Adventures Of Cliff Booth, giving audiences a closer look at the character’s next chapter under the direction of David Fincher.
The upcoming film moves the story forward to 1977, around eight years after the events of the 2019 film. This time, Cliff is no longer simply working as a stuntman. Instead, he takes on odd jobs around Hollywood while operating as a fixer for people who need his particular set of skills.
Brad Pitt Reprises His Oscar-Winning Role
Pitt returns to the role that earned him the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for Once Upon A Time... In Hollywood. The new trailer once again highlights Cliff’s reputation for handling dangerous situations, while showing a different side of his life in 1970s Los Angeles. Cliff is seen working as a bartender and projectionist, but his past continues to follow him. The trailer also references his earlier adventures, including his infamous confrontation with Bruce Lee from the original film.
David Fincher Directs From Quentin Tarantino’s Script
The film brings together two major filmmakers, with David Fincher directing a screenplay written by Quentin Tarantino. While Tarantino directed Once Upon A Time... In Hollywood, he has handed the new Cliff Booth story to Fincher. The result shifts the character’s world toward a crime-driven Hollywood story involving murder, blackmail, theft and extortion. Netflix’s official synopsis describes Cliff as a fixer who becomes involved with Hollywood figures and dangerous gangsters.
