"David Fincher and Brad Pitt's 'Once Upon a Time in Hollywood' Sequel Coming to Netflix"

David Fincher and Brad Pitt are set to reunite for a sequel to Quentin Tarantino's "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood." According to The Playlist, this unexpected project is slated for Netflix, continuing Fincher's established partnership with the streaming service. The film, which remains untitled, will see Pitt reprise his role as stuntman Cliff Booth.

The screenplay, initially titled "The Movie Critic," was intended to be Tarantino's final film before its cancellation last year. However, Tarantino, keen on not letting the story die, has entrusted Fincher with its revival. Netflix reportedly acquired the script for $20 million, with a projected budget of $200 million. Filming is scheduled to begin in California in July, just three months away. While no other casting details have been confirmed, Leonardo DiCaprio is not expected to return as Rick Dalton. Both Fincher and Pitt are dedicating their full attention to this project, sidelining all other commitments.

Deadline has also confirmed that the sequel is in development, noting that Pitt had Tarantino's approval to share the script with Fincher, leading to this surprising collaboration.
