David Fincher's 'The Further Mis-Adventures of Cliff Booth' Gets a Release Date — Brad Pitt & Quentin Tarantino's Netflix Dream Team Is Back

Brad Pitt is officially back as Cliff Booth — and this time, Quentin Tarantino and David Fincher are in the same room. Netflix just revealed the official title for the long-awaited Once Upon a Time in Hollywood spin-off: The Further Mis-Adventures of Cliff Booth. And yes, it has a release date: November 25 in IMAX theaters worldwide, followed by a Netflix streaming debut on December 23.

A Dream Team No One Saw Coming

Here's the part that broke the internet: David Fincher is directing, and Quentin Tarantino wrote the script. That pairing alone is a cinematic event — Fincher, the obsessive genius behind Se7en, Fight Club, and The Social Network, taking a script from the most maximalist filmmaker of his generation. For millennials who grew up on both directors' 90s and 2000s classics, this is the crossover we didn't know we needed.

Cliff Booth's Story Continues

Pitt reprises the role that won him the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor in 2019's Once Upon a Time in Hollywood — Tarantino's love letter to late-60s Los Angeles. The original film followed aging TV star Rick Dalton (Leonardo DiCaprio) and his loyal stunt double Cliff Booth as they navigated a changing Hollywood, culminating in one of the most gloriously violent finales in Tarantino's career.

The spin-off picks up Cliff's story as he heads back into the movie business after the events of the original. The title teases something looser and wilder than a standard sequel — "mis-adventures," not "adventures" — suggesting Tarantino's script leans into the chaotic, carefree energy that made Cliff the film's breakout character. If the brief glimpse in Netflix's title reveal video is any hint, we're getting a sun-drenched, dangerous, and unexpectedly funny ride.

Why This Matters for Netflix

This is a huge get for Netflix, which has been betting big on theatrical-first releases. Following hits like The Irishman and recent awards-season runs, landing a Fincher-directed, Tarantino-written, Pitt-starring original — with an IMAX rollout to boot — gives the streamer the kind of event movie that dominates October-to-December conversations. Expect the full trailer to drop soon after the Venice and TIFF festival circuit wraps.

What's Next

With shooting already complete and post-production in Fincher's famously meticulous hands, all eyes are on the first full trailer. In the meantime, fans can revisit Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (streaming on Netflix in most regions) to refresh their Cliff Booth lore — every taco, every Bruce Lee fight, every "nobody kills anybody in my house" moment.
