In a surprising development, acclaimed director David Fincher is set to helm a sequel to Quentin Tarantino’s 2019 film, “Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood,” with the project being produced by Netflix. Brad Pitt will reprise his Oscar-winning role as stuntman Cliff Booth, while Tarantino has penned the script but will not direct, marking the first time he has entrusted one of his screenplays to another filmmaker.
This collaboration reunites Fincher and Pitt, who previously worked together on “Se7en,” “Fight Club,” and “The Curious Case of stendpoint Benjamin Button.” The project aligns with Fincher’s existing relationship with Netflix, where he has a first-look deal. The sequel is described as “derivative” of the original rather than a direct continuation, suggesting a fresh narrative direction within the same universe.

Details about the plot remain under wraps, and it is unclear whether Leonardo DiCaprio will return as Rick Dalton. The original film garnered critical acclaim and grossed $392.1 million worldwide. The sequel is set to begin shooting this summer, with a targeted release in 2026.
This venture marks a notable shift in Tarantino’s approach, as he has historically directed his own scripts. His decision to pass the directorial reins to Fincher indicates a new phase in his filmmaking career.
