Netflix released the first trailer for The Further Mis-Adventures of Cliff Booth, directed by David Fincher and written by Quentin Tarantino.
Netflix has dropped a punchy first trailer for The Further Mis-Adventures of Cliff Booth, bringing Brad Pitt back to his role as the stuntman from Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Set in 1977, the sequel follows Booth as he takes on odd jobs and violent oddities in the film industry. The footage wastes no time leaning into signature Tarantino violence while nodding right back to the original film's controversial moments, including a subtle jab at the infamous Bruce Lee confrontation that still sparks debate across social circles.
Behind the scenes, the project boasts a powerhouse creative lineup. David Fincher is taking the director's chair for his third consecutive feature with Netflix following Mank and The Killer. Quentin Tarantino wrote the script, marking a rare instance where he authored a film without directing it himself. According to Brad Pitt, Tarantino simply did not want to direct this particular story, which likely ties into the filmmaker's famously strict retirement rule regarding his ten-movie threshold.
Alongside the returning Brad Pitt, the ensemble cast features Elizabeth Debicki, Scott Caan, Carla Gugino, and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II. Netflix has planned a brief exclusive IMAX theatrical run starting November 25, 2026, before the film lands globally on the streaming platform on December 23, 2026. For a generation of audiences who treat cinema and streaming releases as major social events alongside their gaming calendars, this collaboration is shaping up to be a notable holiday watch.
