‘The Adventures of Cliff Booth’ Set for IMAX Release Ahead of Netflix Premiere!!

Quentin Tarantino has had one of the most legendary careers of any director in the history of Hollywood. He’s directed so many iconic classics that it’s almost impossible for fans to agree on what truly is his best picture, but there are a few that stand out among the rest. One of the most popular movies of Tarantino’s career that has stood the test of time is Pulp Fiction, the 1992 crime classic starring John Travolta and Samuel L. Jackson. The film found success by every metric which a movie can be measured: it won an Oscar for Best Screenplay and was nominated for six more, it grossed over $200 million at the box office on an $8 million budget, and it holds scores of 92% from critics and 96% from audiences on Rotten Tomatoes.

Another movie that would earn a spot near the top of the list of Tarantino’s most iconic features is Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood, the 2019 showbiz epic that is still the most recent movie Tarantino has directed to this day. The story first laid out in Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood will continue later this year, though, with The Adventures of Cliff Booth, the new Netflix movie centering around Brad Pitt’s character from the original film. After a shadow trailer dropped at the Super Bowl earlier and first images from the film back in March, Netflix confirmed this afternoon that The Adventures of Cliff Booth will begin streaming on Netflix around the world on December 23. Better yet, the film will have a two-week exclusive run in IMAX almost a month earlier, where it will play in the premium format starting on November 25.

Is Quentin Tarantino Directing ‘The Adventures of Cliff Booth’?

Quentin Tarantino is not directing The Adventures of Cliff Booth, but he did write the script for the film. David Fincher, famed for his work on thrillers such as Zodiac and The Social Network, has been tapped to direct The Adventures of Cliff Booth, which also stars Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Peter Weller, Elizabeth Debicki, Carla Gugino, and Scott Caan. Plot specifics regarding The Adventures of Cliff Booth are still being kept under wraps, but it is confirmed to be set in a much different version of Hollywood in 1977, eight years after the first film, which took place in the summer of 1969. Leonardo DiCaprio will not return as Rick Dalton in the film.
