Brad Pitt is back as Cliff Booth! Eight years after the actor won an Oscar for playing the stuntman-turned-fixer from Quentin Tarantino's 2019 film Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood, a newly released trailer for The Further Mis-Adventures of Cliff Booth is here!
Brad Pitt is back!
Netflix released the trailer on Monday, offering the first extended look at Brad Pitt's return to the character he played in the Oscar-winning film. Pitt, 62, won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his performance as Cliff Booth at the 2020 Oscars. This time, Tarantino returns to Cliff Booth's world as the screenwriter, while David Fincher directs the film. The project reunites Pitt and Fincher for the first time since their 2008 film The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. The pair previously collaborated on Se7en and Fight Club.
Set in 1977, eight years after the events of ‘Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood’, the new film finds Cliff navigating a very different Hollywood while taking on odd jobs and working as a fixer. The trailer shows Cliff Booth as he lives a rather flamboyant lifestyle, as he is seen working behind a bar. He even admits to killing someone. Then, he takes on a new role as a “studio fixer” within the ranks of the film world that might invite more trouble than he intended. The trailer also takes a hilarious dig at Leonardo DiCaprio's character from the 2019 film, Rick Dalton, as he says that he does not stand for his stunt double anymore as he has become fat.
