Brad Pitt in the First Trailer for 'The Adventures of Cliff Booth'
Cliff Booth Takes Center Stage as Hollywood’s Renegade Fixer in the 'Once Upon a Time in Hollywood' Sequel
Netflix capitalized on this year's biggest American event—the Super Bowl—to unveil the highly anticipated teaser for 'The Adventures of Cliff Booth,' starring Brad Pitt once again in the lead role.
What the Teaser Reveals
This concise yet impactful trailer transports viewers straight to 1970s Hollywood, capturing its vibrant atmosphere. Building on Quentin Tarantino’s original film, Cliff Booth, previously known solely as Rick Dalton’s stuntman and double, now steps into the role of “Hollywood’s Fixer.” He’s the go-to problem solver behind the scenes and beyond.
The footage showcases Booth in diverse scenarios: unwinding at a bar, on film sets, and even participating in an off-road racing event. True to Tarantino’s signature style, the trailer retains his sharp, satirical humor—highlighted by humorous censorship moments that blur out explicit content, strong language, and weapons. A standout shot features Booth placing an Oscar on a table, subtly nodding to Brad Pitt’s real-life accolade for his performance in the original movie.
Behind the Scenes and Creative Team
Directed by acclaimed filmmaker David Fincher, the project also sees Quentin Tarantino serving as producer and writer, continuing his work on what he has called his “tenth and final” film endeavor.
Brad Pitt is joined on screen by a stellar cast, including:
• Elizabeth Debicki
• Yahya Abdul-Mateen II
• Carla Gugino
• Holt McCallany
• Timothy Olyphant, portraying James Stacy
among others.
Principal photography has wrapped up in Los Angeles. Cinematography is led by Erik Messerschmidt, a frequent collaborator of Fincher, renowned for his work on intense psychological dramas and thrillers.
Anticipations and Release Outlook
This film is expected to transcend a simple nostalgic comedy, aiming to expand the universe introduced in 'Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.' It will delve deeper into Cliff Booth’s character, exploring how he evolved from a stuntman and action expert into an iconic figure of 1970s Hollywood.
While an official release date has yet to be announced, industry insiders anticipate the premiere will take place in summer 2026 on Netflix, with a subsequent limited theatrical run.
