The Adventures of Cliff Booth: Release Date Confirmed?
We’re a few months away from the follow-up to Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood with the David Fincher-directed The Adventures of Cliff Booth. This team-up is sure to be a winner with Tarantino’s words and Fincher’s visuals. What’s On Netflix has just posted a number of HQ stills from the film. Before you truly get excited, they look to be more so higher quality stills taken from the Super Bowl TV spot aired earlier this year.
Here are three of the newly posted stills, for the rest, head on over to What’s On Netflix.
The Hollywood story continues
The movie is a sequel/follow-up/companion/etc to Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Brad Pitt returns as Cliff Booth, with the former stuntman reportedly embarking on a new career as a Hollywood fixer. The Adventures of Cliff Booth originated from Tarantino’s scrapped script for what would have been his tenth and final movie. Pitt was very interested in his character’s part and asked Tarantino if he would let someone else take the helm of the project. The director responded that it would depend on who he had in mind. Enter David Fincher, who quickly earned Tarantino’s blessing.
In addition to Pitt, The Adventures of Cliff Booth also includes Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Elizabeth Debicki, Scott Caan, and Carla Gugino. There were rumblings that Timothy Olyphant would be returning as James Stacy, but the actor later walked back that statement.
When (and how) does it come out?
Netflix is considering a “robust rollout” for The Adventures of Cliff Booth, which is being eyed for a fall 2026 release. While initially folks thought it would be a summer release, recently rumors suggest it’s eyeing a fall, awards season roll-out, possibly with an international debut at the Venice Film Festival. EmpireCity Box Office seemed to confirm that theory, tweeting: “Heard earlier this week that @netflix going to release CLIFF BOOTH with a full on theatrical run in late September or October. Seems like that is leaking out now.”
Last year, Tarantino said he wouldn’t be surprised if Netflix gave the film a theatrical release. “It’s not their business model. So I don’t hold a company, I don’t hold it against the company for not following what’s not their business model. You can decree that it’s not their business model, but it is just what it is,” he said. “I wouldn’t be surprised if they came out with a two-week release of it, at least limited to some degree. And then I think at least as far as the big cities are concerned, they’ll probably have screenings that they’re probably gonna want it to do good in Oscars. So there’ll be screenings for it around town and everything. Yeah, I could decry that, I could complain about that. I could go, isn’t it a shame?“
