During the post-screening Q&A following Quentin Tarantino's "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" at the TCL Chinese Theatre in Hollywood, the acclaimed filmmaker surprised the audience with a glimpse of the upcoming "The Further Mis-Adventures of Cliff Booth." Tarantino and director David Fincher had written the film, which will be released by Netflix on November 25.
The 17-minute clip showcased a talkative and explosive segment of the film, with Brad Pitt reprising his Oscar-winning role as Cliff Booth. Cliff, a former stuntman and assistant to Rick Dalton (Leonardo DiCaprio), now manages the New Beverly Cinema, an iconic Los Angeles arthouse theater. The footage opened with an extended strip-club sequence, featuring Yahya Abdul-Mateen II as Roderick "Hot Rod" Harrison.
Cliff then called his father, a pawn shop owner played by Peter Weller, to let him know he dedicated a song to him on a Los Angeles radio station. The scene quickly escalated with gangsters, blackmail, and movies, showcasing Tarantino's signature style. The performance of Margot Robbie as Sharon Tate, a role Tarantino hoped would rewrite the tragic history of the real-life actress, was particularly praised.
The audience's response to the clip was enthusiastic, with multiple rounds of applause during the screening, especially after the film's climactic reimagining of the Tate-LaBianca murders.
