David Fincher directs this film from a screenplay by Quentin Tarantino, with Brad Pitt returning as Hollywood fixer Cliff Booth in 1977. It opens globally in IMAX on November 25, 2026, before arriving

《THE FURTHER MIS-ADVENTURES OF CLIFF BOOTH》is a film directed by David Fincher from a newly written screenplay by Quentin Tarantino. Brad Pitt returns as Cliff Booth, the character he played in 《Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood》. The film will have a two-week advance run in IMAX theaters worldwide beginning November 25, 2026, before being released on Netflix on December 23.

Cliff Booth in 1977

The story is set in 1977, eight years after the events of the previous film in 1969. No longer working solely as a stuntman, Cliff makes a living tending bar and working as a projectionist while unofficially handling Hollywood figures’ difficult problems as a fixer. Los Angeles in the summer, entangled in murder, intimidation, theft, and extortion, serves as the backdrop for this story.

A Job Where Stars and Gangsters Meet

Cliff is contacted by Karen Crosby, the agent of Charlie Peters, a TV star who performs his own stunts. Charlie’s wife Toni, former football star turned actor Roderick ‘Hot Rod’ Harrison, and the Budersco brothers, who are stirring up the city, all become entangled in the case. Cliff’s next story, leaving behind his storybook past, unfolds as a crime drama where Hollywood ambition and violence intersect.

Fincher and Tarantino’s Division of Labor

The film’s defining setup is that Tarantino handles the screenplay while Fincher directs. Elizabeth Debicki, Scott Caan, Carla Gugino, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, and Peter Weller co-star alongside Brad Pitt. Premiering first in IMAX theaters ahead of its Netflix release also creates a separate viewing window suited to this 1970s Los Angeles crime story.
