Tarantino may be moving on from his allegedly ‘last’ movie The Movie Critic, but it looks like another auteur director is going to be picking up the pieces.
According to Variety, David Fincher is set to direct a spinoff to Once Upon A Time in Hollywood and Brad Pitt will be coming back to reprise the role of stuntman Cliff Booth from the film. The idea for the movie came up when plans for The Movie Critic fell through, and now it’s expected to come to Netflix.
So far, the only thing we know about the story is that it’s, “said to take place in the ’70s and follow a film critic who wrote for a porn magazine.” Though it doesn’t seem like Booth is going to be the main character, but the novelization of the movie has confirmed that Cliff is sort of a movie buff.
Though Pitt is coming back, it doesn’t seem likely that other actors from the movie like Leonardo DiCaprio or Margot Robbie will make a return. That being said, I wouldn’t be surprised if any more celebrities from around that era show up and interact with Cliff Booth—like that fight with Bruce Lee.
Though Tarantino usually writes movies for himself to direct, it’s going to be interesting to see a script from him go through the lens of David Fincher. It’s a combination of directors I never expected, but I’m excited to see what Fincher comes up with for the Cliffe Booth movie.
No release date has been set for the Once Upon a Time In Hollywood Sequel.
