David Fincher’s ‘Once Upon a Time in Hollywood’ Sequel Gets a New Title

David Fincher's upcoming sequel to "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" has adopted a new title: "The Further Mis-Adventures of Cliff Booth." The title change, announced by Netflix on Wednesday, adds a touch of humor to the film's comedic undertones hinted at by the teaser trailer showcased during the Super Bowl in February. Written by Quentin Tarantino and directed by David Fincher, the sequel follows the story of Brad Pitt's character, Cliff Booth, eight years after the events of the 2019 film, as he becomes a Hollywood studio fixer in 1977 Los Angeles.

The film's line-up of talented actors includes Elizabeth Debicki, Scott Caan, Carla Gugino, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Peter Weller, Holt McCallany, and Timothy Olyphant, who will reprise his role as James Stacy.

The film, which had a reported budget of $200 million, making it the most expensive project for both Tarantino and Fincher, wrapped its seven-month Los Angeles shoot in January. Given its high production cost and the success Tarantino experienced with his most recent directorial effort, fans can expect a grand premiere experience with the film set to debut exclusively in Imax theaters on November 25.

The streaming giant, Netflix, has also ensured that the sequel will make its world debut on December 23, initially releasing it exclusively in Imax theaters for two weeks before making it available for streaming. With a successful run at the box office, grossing over $393 million worldwide, and critical acclaim, fans are eagerly anticipating how "The Further Mis-Adventures of Cliff Booth" will live up to the legacy of its predecessor.
