Cliff Booth's Next Chapter Gets a Title and a 2026 Plan
Brad Pitt's Cliff Booth sequel, written by Quentin Tarantino and directed by David Fincher, is taking shape.
What's happening
Brad Pitt's stuntman character is set to return in The Further Mis-Adventures of Cliff Booth. Quentin Tarantino wrote the project, David Fincher is directing, and the current plan connects a Netflix release with an IMAX theatrical component in 2026.
Why it matters
The combination is unusual: a Tarantino character interpreted by Fincher, with Pitt as the bridge between their very different rhythms. The title also suggests episodes or detours rather than a conventional sequel built around recreating Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.
Stellar perspective
The creative handoff is the reason to watch. Until footage and firm dates arrive, expectations should stay focused on the collaborators rather than assumptions about plot, release length, or how directly the new film will revisit earlier characters.
