Fans Can’t Believe Brad Pitt’s Cliff Booth Returns in Netflix Spin-Off!
Well, well, well, if it isn’t the return of Brad Pitt as Cliff Booth, the quintessential laid-back stuntman who snagged him an Oscar in 2020. The universe seems to delight in recycling old hits, and here we are, preparing for yet another round of cinematic nostalgia, this time courtesy of Netflix’s latest venture. Directed by the ever-so-stylish David Fincher—who clearly knows how to spin a tale, as evidenced by his collaborations with Pitt on cinematic masterpieces like Fight Club and Se7en—this project is poised to be a delightful cocktail of Tarantino-esque chaos and Fincher’s sleek storytelling.
So what do we know? The script, penned by Quentin Tarantino himself, is currently in development and promises a blend of familiar faces and fresh escapades. While the specifics remain as murky as a foggy Los Angeles morning, reports suggest that this might not be a straightforward sequel to 2019’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Instead, it’s being described as a “derivative” piece—whatever that means in Hollywood lingo. Is it a sequel? A prequel? An expansion? Who knows! But brace yourselves, because filming is set to kick off this summer, and I suspect Hollywood will once again be buzzing with excitement.
As for the ensemble cast, details are as scant as a designer dress at a thrift store; no other actors have been confirmed yet. In the original flick, Pitt’s Cliff served as the stuntman for Leonardo DiCaprio’s troubled character, Rick Dalton, and let’s not forget the stellar Margot Robbie, who brought Sharon Tate to life in a revisionist history that was both thrilling and enlightening.
In the meantime, Pitt is keeping busy, readying himself for another high-octane role as a Formula One driver in Joseph Kosinski’s upcoming film, which releases on June 27. And for those of us who enjoy a little behind-the-scenes magic, he’s also an executive producer on Netflix’s hit limited series, Adolescence.
So, as we await the next installment of Cliff Booth’s escapades, one can only wonder if this narrative will be as captivating as the original or merely a case of ‘been there, done that.’ Stay tuned, darling, because this cinematic rollercoaster is just getting started.
