Netflix is reportedly exploring the option of an exclusive theatrical release for “The Adventures of Cliff Booth,” starring Brad Pitt. According to Variety, the streaming service is planning a substantial rollout for several significant films, which may include this much-anticipated sequel. A summer 2026 release date is currently under consideration.
The Plot of “The Adventures of Cliff Booth”
The film will focus on Brad Pitt’s character, Cliff Booth, a stuntman introduced in Quentin Tarantino’s 2019 film “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.” This new installment aims to further develop Booth’s adventures.
Director Transition
Although Quentin Tarantino has written the screenplay for “The Adventures of Cliff Booth,” he has opted not to direct. Instead, David Fincher will take the helm. Tarantino shared his feelings about stepping away, stating, “I love this script, but I’m still walking down the same ground I’ve already walked. It just kind of unenthused me.”
Tarantino expressed confidence in Fincher’s abilities, considering him a worthy director for his work. He remarked that Fincher’s eagerness to adapt the screenplay reflects a deep respect for his craft.
Potential Theatrical Release
Tarantino indicated he wouldn’t oppose the idea of a theatrical release for the film, acknowledging that this approach differs from Netflix’s usual business model. He suggested that the film might receive a limited release for Oscar consideration, especially in major cities.
Cast and Collaborations
The film boasts a talented cast alongside Pitt, including:
- Elizabeth Debicki
- Carla Gugino
- Scott Caan
- Yahya Abdul-Mateen II
This project marks a reunion for Pitt and Fincher, who previously collaborated on iconic films such as “Se7en,” “Fight Club,” and “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.”
As Netflix continues to evolve its content strategy, the potential theatrical release for “The Adventures of Cliff Booth” could be a significant move, showcasing its commitment to high-quality storytelling and star-studded productions.
