Quentin Tarantino is undeniably one of Hollywood’s most legendary, unique and almost mythical figures at this point. The man has been behind so many classic motion pictures that fans could probably spend a week locked in a room arguing about the virtues of Pulp Fiction, the 1994 crime classic starring John Travolta and Samuel L. Jackson, over, say, Reservoir Dogs or Jackie Brown.
But one movie, for sure, that would earn a spot near the top of the list of Tarantino’s best features is Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood, the 2019 alt-history epic that, to this day, is still the most recent movie Tarantino stepped behind the camera for. That story introduced us to Rick Dalton, Sharon Tate and Cliff Booth, and it’s the latter who will see their adventures continue later this year, with The Adventures of Cliff Booth, the new Netflix movie centering around Brad Pitt’s character.
After a shadow trailer dropped at the Super Bowl earlier and first images from the film back in March, Netflix has announced that The Adventures of Cliff Booth will begin streaming on Netflix around the world on December 23. And in even more exciting news, 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’?
The movie is being made from a script that Tarantino penned, but that he didn’t feel he had the motivation to direct, since it would be a sequel and not something that he felt was ‘enough’ to be his final film. David Fincher, acclaimed for his directing on Zodiac and The Social Network, has been brought on by Pitt 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 hush hush, 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. In sadder news, Leonardo DiCaprio isn’t reprising his role as Rick Dalton in the film.
