It began as a whisper in Hollywood back rooms — and now, it’s all but confirmed. A sequel to Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood is officially happening, and it’s headed in a thrilling new direction. But here's the twist: Tarantino won’t be directing this time. Instead, David Fincher — the meticulous mastermind behind Gone Girl and Fight Club — is stepping in to helm the next chapter.
And yes, it’s all about Cliff Booth. The film, reportedly titled The Continuing Adventures of Cliff Booth, will center on Brad Pitt’s enigmatic stuntman, picking up after the flamethrower-smoked ending of the original. Think fewer studio lots, more California grit. According to early chatter, Leonardo DiCaprio’s Rick Dalton might make a fleeting appearance, but this is Booth’s story now.
This scoop came tucked inside a recent Deadline interview with Michael B. Jordan, promoting his new film Sinners. In the interview, Jordan, while discussing his own career, mentioned the sequel’s title and teased its possible direction — instantly sending the news into a frenzy. And while Jordan wasn’t attached to The Continuing Adventures of Cliff Booth, the mention felt like a nod to the growing excitement surrounding the film.
While Tarantino has long teased that his tenth and final film is still in the works, The Continuing Adventures of Cliff Booth might just be the most unexpected detour in his filmography. A side quest? Maybe. A cultural event? Definitely.
