Brad Pitt Returns as Cliff Booth in David Fincher’s The Adventures of Cliff Booth

Brad Pitt is officially returning as Cliff Booth, one of his most iconic recent characters from Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. This time, the character is getting his own film titled The Adventures of Cliff Booth, directed by David Fincher and written by Quentin Tarantino.

The project has already created huge excitement among Hollywood fans because it brings together three major names: Brad Pitt, David Fincher, and Quentin Tarantino.

Release Date

The Adventures of Cliff Booth is scheduled for an exclusive IMAX theatrical release on November 25, 2026. The film will run in IMAX theaters globally for a limited two-week window before arriving on Netflix on December 23, 2026.

This makes the film a major cinematic event before its streaming debut.

What Is The Adventures of Cliff Booth About?

The film continues the story of Cliff Booth, the stuntman and close companion of Rick Dalton from Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. This time, the story is set in 1977, in a very different version of Hollywood.

Cliff Booth was one of the most mysterious and memorable characters in Tarantino’s film. His calm attitude, dangerous confidence, and unclear past made him a fan favorite. With David Fincher directing, this new film could explore the character in a darker, sharper, and more stylish way.

Cast

The film features a strong ensemble cast led by Brad Pitt.

Expected cast includes:

• Brad Pitt as Cliff Booth
• Elizabeth Debicki
• Scott Caan
• Carla Gugino
• Yahya Abdul-Mateen II
• Peter Weller
• Matt Groove
• JB Tadena
• Corey Fogelmanis
• Karren Karagulian

Why Fans Are Excited

There are many reasons why The Adventures of Cliff Booth has become one of the most anticipated Hollywood films.

First, Brad Pitt is returning to an Oscar-winning role. His performance as Cliff Booth in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood was loved by both critics and fans.

Second, David Fincher is directing. Fincher is known for stylish, intense, and visually powerful films like Fight Club, Se7en, Gone Girl, and The Social Network. His direction could give Cliff Booth’s world a darker and more cinematic edge.

Third, Quentin Tarantino wrote the screenplay. Even though Tarantino is not directing this time, his writing keeps the film connected to the world and tone of Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.

Finally, the movie is getting an IMAX theatrical release before Netflix, which shows that it is being treated as a major event film.

Connection to Once Upon a Time in Hollywood

The Adventures of Cliff Booth is connected to Quentin Tarantino’s 2019 film Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. That movie starred Leonardo DiCaprio as Rick Dalton and Brad Pitt as Cliff Booth.

Cliff was Rick’s stunt double, driver, and loyal friend. However, the character always felt like he had a much bigger story behind him. This new film looks ready to explore that side of Cliff Booth.

Final Thoughts

The Adventures of Cliff Booth looks like a major treat for fans of Brad Pitt, David Fincher, and Quentin Tarantino. With an IMAX release first and a Netflix premiere shortly after, the film is expected to be one of the biggest Hollywood releases of 2026.

Brad Pitt returning as Cliff Booth is already enough to create hype, but with Fincher directing and Tarantino writing, this movie could become one of the most talked-about films of the year.
