Recommendations of the editorial team
Director Quentin Tarantino once announced that he only wanted to make ten films in his career. Now comes a new work: a sequel to “Once Upon A Time in Hollywood” (2019). But Tarantino actually wants to hand over the main responsibility to another person here – David Fincher.
Brad Pitt returns as Cliff Booth
Together with David Fincher and Brad Pitt The filmmaker works on another story about Stuntman Cliff Booth. Pitt’s representation of the risk-friendly but aging film star shadow led him to an Oscar as the best supporting actor in 2020, the film launched almost $ 400 million worldwide. For the streaming service Netflix, where the still nameless drama should appear, i.e. a Stringeven if lead actor Leonardo DiCaprio will not return to his role of actor Rick Dalton. Production starts this summer.
Quentin Tarantino does not direct
According to the magazine “The Playlist”, the film corresponds to a project that has been announced for a long time. In 2023, Tarantino stated that the work title “The Movie Critic” works on a script – that he then rejected. It now turns out that the project developed in a different direction and did not become completely new. Apparently the filmmaker could “not lay down the pen and continued to explore Cliff Booth’s adventures.
Unlike the original, Tarantino will not appear as a director, but will remain as a screenwriter. The director is David Fincher from – this is sometimes known from “Sieben” (1995), “Fight Club” (1999) or “Gone Girl” (2014). It is not the first time that Tarantino’s scripts are implemented by another director: in the first years of his career, he gave “True Romance”, “Natural Born Killers” and “From Dusk Till Dawn”.
Tenth film is still pending
Therefore, the planned sequel is not Quentin Tarantino’s last film. Technically speaking, this has made ten films so far, but he sees “Kill Bill: Volume 1” (2003) and “Kill Bill: Volume 2” (2004) as a working work. According to this, his next project would be the final piece, but the filmmaker creates a way out here again. Not only is a continuation of “Once Upon A Time in Hollywood” a second part, he just doesn’t turn it himself.
