David Fincher's film featuring Cliff Booth is in development. Here's considering the possibility of it turning out to be excellent.
In a surprising turn of events, acclaimed filmmaker Quentin Tarantino has announced a new project titled The Adventures of Cliff Booth. This upcoming film is a sequel to his 2019 smash hit, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, and will focus on Brad Pitt's character, Cliff Booth.
Set in 1977, eight years after the original movie, Cliff Booth will be portrayed as a Hollywood fixer, continuing his intriguing journey. Interestingly, Tarantino has written the screenplay for the film, but David Fincher will be stepping into the director's chair.
Brad Pitt is set to reprise his role, expressing his enthusiasm for the project. The film will primarily release on Netflix, with a possible limited theatrical run to position it for awards.
This announcement has stirred mixed reactions within the film-watching community. Some view it as a slap in the face, feeling that it is a consolation for a new Tarantino story and a concession to franchise/spinoff culture. Others, however, see it as an exciting continuation of a beloved character's story.
It's important to note that this is not a sequel in the traditional sense, as Tarantino has never sequelized any of his main characters, with Kill Bill Vol. 2 not counting as a sequel.
Over the years, Tarantino has proposed several spin-off ideas, but none have come to fruition. Among these were a Vega Brothers movie, a Kill Bill Vol. 3, and a Django-Zorro adventure.
Quentin Tarantino initially announced his intention to retire after releasing his tenth feature film. However, he has since backtracked on these retirement plans, leaving fans eagerly anticipating his future projects.
Recent rumours suggest that Tarantino is planning to shoot a "mic-drop" film, adding to the intrigue surrounding his upcoming work.
Meanwhile, Tarantino is also involved in a stage play project, which is expected to postpone some of his film plans.
Interestingly, Tarantino's proposed final film was The Movie Critic. However, he has scrapped plans for this project, leaving the door open for a potential return in the future.
David Fincher's recent choices have been confounding and seemingly listless, including his decision to helm the English-language Squid Game reboot. This has led to some skepticism about the potential collaboration between Tarantino and Fincher for the Adventures of Cliff Booth project.
Despite these reservations, the prospect of a new Tarantino project, even if it's a spin-off, is generating excitement among fans. As more details about The Adventures of Cliff Booth emerge, expectations are running high for this intriguing follow-up to Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.
- The "Adventures of Cliff Booth" film, written by Quentin Tarantino and directed by David Fincher, will showcase Brad Pitt's character as a Hollywood fixer, immersing viewers in the style and culture of 1977, appealing to a wide audience, including movie-lovers, TV enthusiasts, and those with an interest in entertainment and fashion.
- Some critics have expressed concern about the collaboration between Tarantino and Fincher, given Fincher's recent choices, questioning whether this venture will adhere to the high standards of Tarantino's filmmaking manual.
- As a spin-off, "The Adventures of Cliff Booth" may be a departure from Tarantino's usual style, yet its potential to delve deeper into a beloved character's story promises to captivate audiences, much like the captivating journeys of protagonists in movies and TV shows.
