Cliff Booth Trailer 2: Brad Pitt Returns as Tarantino’s Stuntman in Fincher’s 1977 Hollywood
Brad Pitt is back as Cliff Booth — and this time, the stuntman has become a fixer. Netflix released the second official trailer for The Further Mis-Adventures of Cliff Booth on November 6, and it finally shows the shape of the film: set in Los Angeles in 1977, eight years after the events of Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood, it follows Pitt’s Oscar-winning character as he navigates the seedier corners of the movie business, taking on jobs for a television star who insists on performing his own stunts.
The pairing behind the camera is the story in itself. David Fincher directs from a screenplay by Quentin Tarantino, the writer who created Cliff Booth — a combination that has been compared, not inaccurately, to an Elmore Leonard paperback brought to life. Alongside Pitt, the film stars Elizabeth Debicki, Scott Caan, Carla Gugino, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II and Peter Weller, with Timothy Olyphant returning as Western actor James Stacy. Leonardo DiCaprio does not return as Rick Dalton; the trailer handles that absence with references rather than a reunion.
The release plan is as unusual as the film. The Further Mis-Adventures of Cliff Booth opens exclusively in IMAX theatres worldwide on November 25, 2026, for a two-week engagement — a first for a Netflix feature — and Netflix has said it will actually report the grosses from that run, another first for the company. The film then arrives on Netflix on December 23, two days before Christmas. Tickets for the IMAX run are already on sale. The reported budget is around $200 million, which would make it one of the most expensive films Netflix has ever backed.
What the trailer sells is tone as much as plot: sun-bleached seventies Los Angeles, a hero who solves problems with his hands, and a Hollywood that has already moved on from the men who built it. That is the same melancholy that ran through the 2019 original, now with Fincher’s precision behind the camera instead of Tarantino’s. If the first trailer in September introduced the idea, this second cut makes the case — that a spin-off nobody asked for might be the most interesting film of the holiday season.
