Brad Pitt says The Adventures of Cliff Booth will be ‘an episode' instead of sequel to OUATIH
Brad Pitt has revealed The Adventures of Cliff Booth is 'an episode' instead of a sequel to Once Upon A Time In Hollywood. The F1 star, 61, is set to return as the titular stuntman from Quentin Tarantino's Once Upon A Time In Hollywood in the David Fincher-directed picture, and Pitt has now shared The Adventures of Cliff Booth is not so much of a direct sequel to the 2019 flick as it is an extension of the character's story. Speaking with Deadline, he said: 'This is something Quentin Tarantino wrote. It's an episode, not really a sequel, of the character from Once Upon A Time. '[Tarantino] didn't want to direct it at this point, so our friend David Fincher stepped in to direct it.' Pitt added The Adventures of Cliff Booth was set to enter principal photography next month. He teased: 'So, we're doing it with Netflix, we're going to start in July … should be really fun.' Recently, it was revealed Carla Gugino, Yahya Abdul Mateen II, Elizabeth Debicki and Scott Caan were attached to The Adventures of Cliff Booth, though it is unclear who they will be playing. The Adventures of Cliff Booth is said to feature two key female roles, 'one who runs a bar and mud wrestling establishment and one a trophy wife', but it has not been confirmed whether Debicki will play one of these characters or an entirely new part. The Adventures of Cliff Booth will be a reunion for Pitt and Caan, who previously worked together on the Ocean's series. It has also not been confirmed whether Leonardo DiCaprio would be returning as Rick Dalton for The Adventures of Cliff Booth. In Once Upon A Time In Hollywood, fading actor Rick Dalton (DiCaprio) and his loyal stunt double Cliff Booth (Pitt) struggle to stay relevant in a rapidly changing movie industry. As their fortunes shift, they cross paths with rising star Sharon Tate (Margot Robbie) and the looming threat of the Manson Family. Tarantino is believed to retain the rights to the characters from Once Upon A Time In Hollywood, while Sony - which financed and distributed the picture - holds the rights to the movie itself. As a result, The Adventures of Cliff Booth is not considered a sequel or prequel, despite featuring Pitt's character. Considering Fincher is directing instead of Tarantino, The Adventures of Cliff Booth will not count as the Pulp Fiction filmmaker's 10th and final project. The director was due to work with Pitt - who had also appeared in Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds in 2009 - on The Movie Critic, though the filmmaker dropped the project in April 2024. According to Deadline, Tarantino had 'simply changed his mind' after delaying production to rewrite the script. Now, he's expected to go back to the drawing board in a bid to find a firm idea for what will be his final film.

David Fincher might revive ‘Mindhunter' as a Netflix trilogy, reveals actor Holt McCallany
After years of fan requests, filmmaker David Fincher's critically acclaimed psychological crime thriller series, Mindhunter, might return soon, in a different format. Actor Holt McCallany, who starred as FBI agent Bill Tench in the series, has revealed that the project might be revived as a trilogy of films on Netflix. 'I had a meeting with David Fincher in his office a few months ago, and he said to me that there is a chance that it may come back as three two-hour movies, but I think it's just a chance,' McCallany said in an interview with CBR. 'I know there are writers that are working, but you know, David has to be happy with scripts,' added the star. Stating that he felt fortunate and privileged for being a part of Mindhunter, McCallany added that 'the sun, the moon and the stars would all have to align' for the project to materialise. 'So I think that in terms of dates and logistics, it could all be worked out, but it has to do, you know, with David really having the time and the inclination and being happy, you know, with the material. And, you know, that's a big question mark,' he said. Mindhunter, based on the book Mindhunter: Inside the FBI's Elite Serial Crime Unit, premiered on Netflix in 2017. Set in the 1970s, it followed a special F.B.I. team helmed by agents Bill Tench (McCallany) and Holden Ford (Jonathan Groff) that investigates the minds of serial killers. The second season of the show, which debuted in August 2019, contained hints about a plotline for a possible third season with the cliffhanger of the show featuring the BTK killer. However, the show wasn't renewed for a third season, with Fincher revealing that the show was a 'costly endeavour' for him and that it was too expensive for the viewership it had. In an interview with Vulture, Fincher said, 'I honestly don't think we're going to be able to do it for less than I did season two. And on some level, you have to be realistic about dollars have to equal eyeballs.' The director further said that the show was a 'lot for me' as he spent six to seven months a year for over three years in Pittsburgh in order to work on the series. Despite Fincher's statements, fans of the show have been requesting Netflix and the filmmaker to revive the series, and McCallany's statement might just be ray of hope they were looking for. Notably, McCallany and Fincher are set to reunite for the filmmaker's upcoming Netflix feature, The Adventures of Cliff Booth. The film, written by Quentin Tarantino, expands on the world of one of his most memorable characters from Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.
