First details on Tarantino and David Fincher Once Upon a Time in Hollywood Sequel

In a surprising turning point of cinematographic events, Netflix is ​​producing a sequel to Quentin Tarantino’S Once upon a time in HollywoodAND Brad Pitt He will return to play Cliff Booth. But don’t expect this to be a traditional sequel.

According to New Intel of Big Picture’s Podcast, this next chapter promises to be a unique continuation. The conductor of the podcast Sean Fennessey revealed:

“This probably should not be thought like a sequel. This should be thought of a follow-up to which it is connected but not the same-the example that has been mentioned to me, think about how A great sleep, Raymond Chandler’s adaptation with Humphrey Bogart, is in the same world as Goodbye, my adorable, Robert Mitchum’s film from 1975, but it is [a] Different actor, different directors, different times in the plot. They are different, they are not really sequel, they are the further adventures of [Cliff]. “

Therefore, it will be more a spiritual successor or an autonomous spin -Off, with the cliff at the center of a new story.

David Fincherknown for his work on Seven, ZodiacAND The killerHe is directing the film, working on a screenplay written by Tarantino himself. Tarantino’s writing, but not directing a film he conceived is rare, especially as he continues to surround the idea of ​​retirement after a final film.

The film will be set in 1977, eight years after the events of Once upon a time in Hollywood. Fennessey added:

“The only other important information I learned, that I think it is confirmed, is that the film takes place in 1977, which is about eight years later Once upon a time in Hollywood, So a different time in Cliff’s life. “

With the original film that covers only three days in 1969, this leap forward opens the door to a very different version of Cliff. Presumably, Rick Dalton (Leonardo DiCaprio) is out of the photo and we are reaching Cliff in a new phase of life, older, perhaps more tired and perhaps even a little crazy.

There are no official synopsis, no word from Netflix or by creatives beyond these few clothes of bread and no confirmation that this new story is connected to Tarantino previously abandoned The cinematographic criticwho had also attacked Pitt at some point.

What we know is that Pitt and Fincher have a track record together, with collaborations such as Fight Club, SevenAND The curious case of the Benjamin button Under their belts and I am excited to see that they will work together on this Tarantino project.
