The Adventures of Cliff Booth Cast Has Been Revealed. Here's Everything We Know Since April of last year, rumors about the thirteenth film from David Fincher—the upcoming Netflix production currently referred to as The Adventures of Cliff Booth—have captured the attention of film enthusiasts. With the release of a 64-second Super Bowl trailer and an unannounced release date likely set for this year, the project has become a focal point of speculation. The film, a collaboration between Quentin Tarantino and Fincher, is an unconventional sequel to Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, which is considered one of his most acclaimed works. While the title remains unofficial, the project’s premise and creative direction have sparked widespread interest. Tarantino, known for his eclectic storytelling and deep engagement with Hollywood history, has long been fascinated with the idea of revisiting characters and narratives from his past. The film’s inspiration stems from the character of Cliff Booth, a figure based on the real-life friendship between Kurt Russell and his longtime stunt double during the production of Death Proof in the early 2000s. Russell, who shares Tarantino’s passion for Hollywood lore, recounted stories about stuntmen from the 1960s, including his father, Bing Russell, a Bonanza actor. These tales inspired Tarantino to develop short stories about an actor and his stuntman buddy, which he refined over 15 years before finally bringing them to life in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (2019). The film’s success led Tarantino to continue exploring the world of Cliff Booth, culminating in the novelization of Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, which incorporates drafts of those early short stories.#quentin_tarantino #kurt_russell #once_upon_a_time_in_hollywood #david_fincher #cliff_booth
Brad Pitt’s The Adventures of Cliff Booth Gets Netflix Release Month Brad Pitt’s The Adventures of Cliff Booth, a sequel to Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, is set to debut on Netflix in August 2026, according to Deadline. The film follows the character played by Pitt, Cliff Booth, and is directed by David Fincher, with a script written by Quentin Tarantino. The cast includes Timothy Olyphant, Scott Caan, Elizabeth Debicki, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, and Carla Gugino. Netflix has included the film in its 2026 slate alongside Greta Gerwig’s Narnia adaptation, which will have a limited IMAX release starting November 26 in 90 countries. However, Netflix has not confirmed a wide theatrical rollout for The Adventures of Cliff Booth. The streaming platform’s film chairman, Dan Lin, emphasized the company’s focus on streaming, stating, “We are a streaming-first company. The strategy works really well for us.” He also mentioned plans for special theatrical events, noting, “We’re looking to do special things in theatrical, but just give us some time.” The project reportedly began development after Netflix acquired Tarantino’s script early last year, with Fincher attached to direct and Pitt reprising his role. Filming took place from July 2025 to January 2026, and Tarantino estimated the production budget at around $200 million. Netflix executives highlighted past theatrical experiments, such as event screenings for Stranger Things and One Piece, and referenced ongoing discussions about theatrical engagement, including the KPop Demon Hunters Singalong event. The film’s release aligns with Netflix’s broader strategy to balance streaming and theatrical initiatives, particularly after the conclusion of its partnership with Warner Bros. and the Academy Awards.#netflix #brad_pitt #quentin_tarantino #david_fincher #timothy_ophlyant
