David Fincher Cut 60 Pages from Quentin Tarantino's Cliff Booth Script
The Hollywood Reporter • • entertainment
Key Points:
- David Fincher has directed the upcoming sequel to Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, titled The Further Mis-Adventures of Cliff Booth, and significantly cut 60 pages from Quentin Tarantino’s original 230-page script to create a 2 hour and 20 minute film.
- Fincher emphasized the film focuses more on character interactions and atmosphere around a Hollywood bonfire setting in 1977, rather than a traditional plot-driven narrative.
- Tarantino, however, views the new film as more plot-centric, likening it to an Elmore Leonard crime novel, contrasting it with the "hangout movie" style of the original film.
- The movie stars Brad Pitt reprising his role as Cliff Booth, with Elizabeth Debicki, Scott Caan, Carla Gugino, and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II among the supporting cast, and explores darker themes of crime and Hollywood's underbelly.
- The Further Mis-Adventures of Cliff Booth will have a two-week exclusive run in IMAX theaters starting November 25, followed by a Netflix debut on December 23.
