Recently, one of the most exciting developments in the film industry has been the announcement that David Fincher will direct Brad Pitt in a highly anticipated sequel to Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, with a script penned by the legendary Quentin Tarantino. This upcoming film is set to debut on Netflix, which adds another layer of intrigue to the project. Despite the seemingly absurd nature of this news, further revelations have surfaced regarding the sequel, including a potential title that has fans buzzing with excitement.

A fascinating detail regarding the title of the Once Upon a Time in Hollywood sequel was revealed during a Deadline interview with Michael B. Jordan. In this conversation, reporter Mike Fleming Jr. disclosed that the sequel might be titled The Continuing Adventures of Cliff Booth. This title hints at a thrilling narrative where Cliff Booth will explore a new vocation as a Hollywood studio fixer. Given Booth’s notorious history, including his willingness to resort to extreme measures, this new role seems perfectly tailored for his character, further captivating audiences eager for his next escapades.

Additional information indicates that the sequel will unfold approximately eight years after the original storyline of Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. There are also rumors swirling that Leonardo DiCaprio may return to reprise his role as Rick Dalton, though if he does participate, it is expected to be a brief appearance. This potential cameo has fans speculating about how Dalton’s character will intersect with Booth’s new adventures, igniting excitement for the film’s narrative possibilities.

This new project originates from a previously abandoned script by Tarantino, which was intended to be his tenth and final film. Brad Pitt, deeply invested in the character of Cliff Booth, expressed interest in continuing the storyline and approached Tarantino to explore the option of having another director take charge. The renowned director agreed, contingent on finding the right person for the job. Enter David Fincher, who quickly garnered Tarantino’s approval, setting the stage for an exciting collaboration between two cinematic giants.

While Fincher has an extensive list of unrealized projects, the prospects for this sequel appear promising, with reports indicating that production may begin in the upcoming summer. Currently, Fincher is juggling multiple projects, including Bitterroot, a captivating western crime thriller centered around an elderly rancher whose life savings have been stolen. This rancher is forced into a life of crime, robbing banks and hunting down the thieves, all while being pursued by his own son, the sheriff. Furthermore, there are whispers of an English-language adaptation of Squid Game, a possible remake of Alfred Hitchcock’s classic Rope, and a Chinatown prequel series scripted by the late Robert Towne.
