Ok, truthfully, I hadn’t reported on this because I wasn’t sure it was really real, but really real, it is.

Fight Club and Seven’s David Fincher is set to direct a sequel to Quentin Tarantino’s 2019 hit Once Upon A Time In… Hollywood, based on a script written by Tarantino himself. Brad Pitt seems to be returning to the role of stuntman and all-round cool cat Cliff Booth.

So, the project, currently called The Continuing Adventures of Cliff Booth, will see Pitt’s Booth becoming a Hollywood studio fixer and it was written by Tarantino himself, and was at one point, the director’s tenth and final movie, although he ultimately scrapped the idea.

Enter Fincher. And Netflix.

Word is that the movie will take place some eight years after the original movie and that Leonardo DiCaprio is in talks to return for a (likely brief) cameo as Steve McQueen stand-in, Rick Dalton and, on top of all this, Tarantino is fully onboard with Fincher picking the project up after Pitt loved the script that much, he convinced Tarantino to let someone else do it.

The movie may even go into production as soon as this summer, though where this leave’s Fincher’s American version of Squid Game is unclear.

Hey, I loved Once Upon A Time In… Hollywood (although, I don’t love the altered history aspect) and I love Fincher, so I can only see this as a win, if it eventually happens.

Thoughts? I know you have ’em and I wanna hear ’em all.
