Netflix has officially announced the title for Brad Pitt’s Once Upon A Time In Hollywood sequel.
The upcoming feature film, which will have a two-week Imax release around the world from November 25, is set to arrive on Netflix on December 23.
The streaming giant has confirmed the movie is titled The Further Mis-Adventures of Cliff Booth, with Pitt reprising his role as the Hollywood stuntman.
Netflix teased: “Brad Pitt returns to his Academy Award-winning role as Cliff Booth, only this time it’s 1977 and it’s a very different Hollywood.”
Quentin Tarantino, who directed 2019’s Once Upon A Time in Hollywood, has penned the script for the follow-up, which is set eight years after the original, with David Fincher at the helm.
The cast will also feature Elizabeth Debicki, Scott Caan, Carla Gugino, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Peter Weller, Matt Groove, JB Tadena, Corey Fogelmanis and Karren Karagulian.
Tarantino previously explained that while he loves the story he has written, he wasn’t interested in revisiting old characters when it came to making his 10th and final film.
Speaking on The Church of Tarantino podcast, he said: “I love this script, but I’m still walking down the same ground I’ve already walked.
“It just kind of unenthused me. This last movie, I’ve got to not know what I’m doing again. I’ve got to be in uncharted territory.”
And Tarantino felt honoured that David Fincher was keen to step up and direct Brad Pitt in the title role.
He added: “I think me and David Fincher are the two best directors. So the idea that David Fincher actually wants to adapt my work, to me, shows a level of seriousness towards my work that I think needs to be taken into account.”
Brad recently spoke of reprising the role as stuntman Cliff in the “fun” sequel for Netflix.
Speaking to Deadline at the premiere for his latest movie, F1, he said: “This is something Quentin Tarantino wrote. It’s an episode, not really a sequel, of the character from Once Upon a Time.
“He didn’t want to direct it at this point, so our friend David Fincher stepped in. We’re gonna start in July, it’s gonna be really fun.”
The movie also sees a reunion between Pitt and Fincher, 62, who previously collaborated on acclaimed films Se7en, Fight Club and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.
In Once Upon A Time In Hollywood, fading actor Rick Dalton (DiCaprio) and his loyal stunt double Cliff Booth (Pitt) struggle to stay relevant in a rapidly changing movie industry.
As their fortunes shift, they cross paths with rising star Sharon Tate (Margot Robbie) and the looming threat of the Manson Family.
