According to reports, Brad Pitt is in for the “Once Upon a Time In Hollywood” sequel heading to Netflix.
David Fincher is rumored to be directing the project, which was written by Quentin Tarantino, according to <a href="https://theplaylist.net/david-fincher-to-direct-brad-pitt-in-once-upon-a-time-in-hollywood-sequel-written-by-quentin-tarantino-exclusive-20250401/">The Playlist</a>. Pitt will be reprising his role as Cliff Booth in the as-yet-unnamed follow-up to the 2019 comedy-drama. The actor took home a Best Supporting Actor award for the role that year.
Fincher and Pitt have worked together on some major projects in the past, including “Seven” (1995), “Fight Club” (1999), and “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button” (2008).
The outlet noted that Tarantino negotiated a deal that turned over ownership of the film copyright from Sony Pictures to him after a set number of years. This announcement has led to speculation that this has since transpired as the sequel is now associated with Fincher’s first-look deal with Netflix.
Last year, Tarantino abandoned what was said to be his tenth and final film, which was called “The Movie Critic.” As The Hollywood Reporter <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-features/quentin-tarantino-movie-critic-what-happened-1235879479/">noted</a> at the time, multiple rewrites and changes made the story of a writer working for a fictional porn magazine in the late 1970s into something that seemed like a “Once Upon A Time in Hollywood” follow-up. Brad Pitt was attached to star, though the project never took off.
“Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” premiered at the 2019 Cannes Film Festival. It grossed more than $392 million worldwide and received critical acclaim. 
The film follows fading TV actor Rick Dalton (Leonardo DiCaprio) and his loyal stunt double, Cliff Booth (Pitt), as they navigate the changing Hollywood landscape of 1969, which includes tangling with real-life figures like Sharon Tate and the Manson Family. The film culminates in a violent, revisionist climax where Rick and Cliff interrupt the Manson cult’s planned attack, altering the real tragedy forever.
Tarantino, now 62, had previously vowed to retire by age 60.
“I like the idea of giving it my all for 30 years and then saying, ‘OK, that’s enough.’ And I don’t like working to diminishing returns. And I mean, now is a good time because I mean, what even is a motion picture anyway anymore? Is it just something that they show on Apple? That would be diminishing returns,” he <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/director-quentin-tarantino-reveals-one-thing-he-wont-do-in-movies-thats-a-bridge-i-cant-cross">told</a> Deadline in May 2023.
“I mean, and I’m not picking on anybody, but apparently for Netflix, Ryan Reynolds has made $50 million on this movie and $50 million on that movie and $50 million on the next movie for them,&#8221; Tarantino continued. &#8220;I don’t know what any of those movies are. I’ve never seen them. Have you?”
