Netflix has released the official trailer for The Further Mis-Adventures of Cliff Booth, David Fincher’s follow-up to Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood, with Brad Pitt returning as Cliff Booth, with Elizabeth Debicki and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II also starring.

What is ‘The Further Mis-Adventures of Cliff Booth’ about?
Per the official synopsis: “Murder, blackmail, theft, extortion — just another summer in Hollywood. It’s 1977, eight years since Cliff Booth (Brad Pitt) encountered the Manson family in Quentin Tarantino’s parallel history of 1969, Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood. In THE FURTHER MIS-ADVENTURES OF CLIFF BOOTH, directed by David Fincher from a new script by Tarantino, the fairytale is over. Los Angeles no longer needs a hippie-slaying stuntman the way it did. But Hollywood will always have problems, problems that can only be solved by someone with Cliff’s unique (occasionally extralegal) abilities. When he’s not earning his keep bartending or as a projectionist, Cliff Booth is a fixer — solving situations for Hollywood’s greats and, sometimes, not so good. He’s curious when he gets a call from talent agent Karen Crosby (Elizabeth Debicki), on behalf of her client, TV megastar Charlie Peters (Scott Caan) — a man known for doing his own stunts. And he’s further entertained and intrigued when he meets other characters in Charlie’s world, from his knowing wife Toni (Carla Gugino) to pro football champion turned screen star Roderick ‘Hot Rod’ Harrison (Yahya Abdul-Mateen II). Then there are the Verdusco brothers (Matt Groove and JB Tadena), mysterious gangsters causing mayhem across the city. What was once a fairytale is now a crime story — a cocktail of violence, ambition, and desire that could only happen in LA.”
Why did ‘The Further Mis-Adventures of Cliff Booth’ move from Sony to Netflix?
Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood was originally released by Sony Pictures in 2019. Sony was set to make the follow-up as well, until Tarantino stepped back from directing and insisted Fincher take over instead. Because Fincher holds an exclusive overall deal with Netflix, the project moved there rather than staying at Sony.
When does ‘The Further Mis-Adventures of Cliff Booth’ premiere?
The film opens in IMAX theaters globally Nov. 25 for a two-week engagement before debuting on Netflix Dec. 23.
Fincher directs from a script by Tarantino. Pitt and Ceán Chaffin produce. The creative team includes Erik Messerschmidt as director of photography, Donald Graham Burt as production designer, Kirk Baxter as editor, Trish Summerville as costume designer, Laray Mayfield as casting director, Ren Klyce as sound designer and Dave Macomber as stunt coordinator.
