Director Quentin Tarantino has long been teasing ideas, but his recently announced project centered on Brad Pitt’s character Cliff Booth from Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is sparking renewed debate. Initially met with skepticism due to the involvement of director David Fincher, who is known for his listless choices, it now seems that this unlikely collaboration might be a refreshing change of pace.
Tarantino has never actually sequelized one of his main characters before, which was part of the appeal of this project. However, recent comments from Fincher suggest he’s in production with filming underway in Los Angeles. The leaked set photos indicate a different era for Cliff Booth, possibly navigating new cultural moments and offering comedic commentary on Hollywood.
Fincher is known for directing three of Brad Pitt’s best performances, including Ocean’s Eleven and Troy. His involvement might bring a fresh perspective to the project, which could result in at least B-tier entertainment. The addition of Timothy Olyphant and other talented actors adds to the promising cast list.
It seems that this unlikely collaboration has turned Tarantino’s fortunes around. If he passes off Cliff Booth to Fincher so he can focus on his elusive tenth film, things might not be as bleak as initially thought. Fans have come to expect Tarantino’s masterpieces, and a well-crafted script with Fincher at the helm could revive some of that magic.
