Cliff Booth Returns: Fincher Directs Tarantino-Penned Sequel
Super Bowl Teaser Unveiled
A highly anticipated teaser for "The Adventures of Cliff Booth," a new Netflix film directed by David Fincher, made its debut during Super Bowl LX. The one-minute footage serves as a direct follow-up to Quentin Tarantino's critically acclaimed 2019 film, "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood."
Brad Pitt is confirmed to reprise his Academy Award-winning role as Cliff Booth, the former stuntman and body double.
Pitt's character, Cliff Booth, delivered a memorable line in the teaser: "I don’t possess many talents, but I know better than to get in the way of a good story."
The teaser's premiere during the Super Bowl marks a significant event for the upcoming feature, generating considerable buzz.
Upcoming Film Details
"The Adventures of Cliff Booth" is set to explore the character of Cliff Booth in a later time period than the original "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood." While specific plot details remain under wraps, the film is expected to delve deeper into the life of the fan-favorite stuntman.
The ensemble cast for the film includes a roster of notable talent: Elizabeth Debicki, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Carla Gugino, Timothy Olyphant, Scott Caan, Holt McCallany, and Peter Weller.
While a precise release date has not yet been announced, the Super Bowl teaser confidently indicated "Coming Soon," building anticipation among viewers.
Tarantino's Role: Script, Not Director
Interestingly, Quentin Tarantino penned the script for "The Adventures of Cliff Booth" but made the decision not to direct the film himself.
This choice aligns with his previously stated intentions from August 2025, where he expressed a clear desire for his 10th and final film as a director to be an original project. Tarantino voiced a preference for exploring "uncharted territory" in his concluding directorial work, rather than helming a sequel.
