🎬 Brad Pitt Returns as Cliff Booth
Netflix has unveiled the official trailer for “The Further Mis-Adventures of Cliff Booth,” the latest film from director David Fincher, based on a screenplay by Quentin Tarantino, with Brad Pitt returning as the character of Cliff Booth from “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.”
Pitt reprises the role eight years after the events of the original film, but Cliff is now living a very different life.
The story takes place in 1977, when Cliff is no longer working as a stunt double performing dangerous scenes for Hollywood stars. Instead, he has moved into a new profession as a fixer, handling unusual jobs for powerful people in the entertainment industry.
⭐ Cliff Booth in 1977 Hollywood
The new film presents a different version of Hollywood from the one seen in Tarantino’s original movie.
Cliff’s life has become more complicated, placing him around influential figures, hidden interests and situations that require him to rely on the skills and experience he developed during his years in Hollywood.
Rather than simply doubling for actors, he now takes on private assignments that push him into increasingly complicated situations and introduce him to a very different group of characters.
The story unfolds years after Cliff’s time alongside actor Rick Dalton, opening a new chapter centered on Booth himself.
📞 Elizabeth Debicki Brings Cliff Into a New Mission
The story begins when Cliff Booth receives a call from talent agent Karen Crosby, played by Elizabeth Debicki.
Karen asks Cliff to help with a situation involving television superstar Charlie Peters, played by Scott Caan.
Charlie is known for performing his own dangerous stunts, but Cliff soon finds himself caught in a much more complicated world surrounding the television star.
🎭 Scott Caan, Carla Gugino and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II Join the Story
Scott Caan plays Charlie Peters, while Carla Gugino portrays his wife Toni, one of the characters at the center of the increasingly complicated situation surrounding him.
Yahya Abdul-Mateen II appears as Roderick “Hot Rod” Harrison, a former professional American football player who has transitioned into a successful screen career.
As Cliff continues with his assignment, he also encounters the Verdusco brothers, mysterious gangsters played by Matt Groove and JB Tadena, expanding the circle of characters connected to his mission.
🔥 From Hollywood to a World of Crime
“The Further Mis-Adventures of Cliff Booth” gradually moves beyond Hollywood and into a much darker world involving crime, violence and conflicting ambitions.
Cliff’s assignment brings him into contact with powerful people and dangerous figures, turning what initially appears to be a simple job into a much more complicated situation.
The film combines elements of crime, violence, ambition and desire, while placing Cliff at the center of a story that becomes increasingly dangerous.
Pitt’s return also allows audiences to see a familiar character facing circumstances that are very different from those of the original film.
🎥 David Fincher Directs From Quentin Tarantino’s Screenplay
The project represents an unusual collaboration between David Fincher and Quentin Tarantino, with Tarantino writing the screenplay while Fincher directs.
Fincher also reunites with several of his longtime creative collaborators for the project, while Brad Pitt serves as one of the film’s producers alongside Ceán Chaffin and other producers.
The ensemble also includes Peter Weller, Holt McCallany, Corey Fogelmanis and Karren Karagulian, among several other performers.
🕶️ Will Rick Dalton Return?
With the return of Cliff Booth, one of the questions surrounding the film is the status of Rick Dalton, the character played by Leonardo DiCaprio in the original movie.
The new story takes place eight years after the events of “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood,” while Cliff’s life has changed dramatically.
Rick Dalton does not return as a central character in the new story, with the focus instead shifting fully toward Cliff and his new life in late-1970s Hollywood.
📅 “The Further Mis-Adventures of Cliff Booth” Release Date
The film will open exclusively in IMAX theaters worldwide on November 25, 2026, for a two-week theatrical run.
Following its theatrical engagement, the movie will arrive on Netflix on December 23, 2026, giving subscribers access to the film after its IMAX release.
The rollout represents an important moment for Netflix, as the movie will be the first Netflix-produced film to receive a global exclusive IMAX theatrical release of this scale.
✨ Netflix’s First Global IMAX Release
The film’s importance extends beyond Brad Pitt’s return and the Fincher-Tarantino collaboration.
It also represents a new approach to the film’s theatrical rollout, with a two-week global IMAX window before the movie moves to Netflix.
The strategy gives the film a major cinematic presence before its streaming debut and marks another step in Netflix’s evolving approach to theatrical releases for major productions.
Ultimately, Brad Pitt returns as Cliff Booth in a new chapter set in 1977 Hollywood, while David Fincher directs Quentin Tarantino’s screenplay and takes the character into a world shaped by crime, ambition and dangerous alliances.
The film is set for its IMAX debut in November before arriving on Netflix in December 2026.
