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

David Fincher and Brad Pitt are reportedly set to collaborate once again, this time on a sequel to Quentin Tarantino's "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood." According to The Playlist, the duo is working on a project that will potentially be released on Netflix, leveraging Fincher's established partnership with the streaming service. The upcoming, untitled sequel will see Brad Pitt reprise his role as the stunt double, Cliff Booth.

The script for this sequel is an evolved version of a story initially known as "The Movie Critic," which Tarantino had considered for his final film before shelving it last year. However, Tarantino's interest in the project persisted, leading him to entrust the screenplay to Fincher. Netflix has reportedly acquired the script for $20 million, with plans to allocate a $200 million budget and commence filming in California in July. While no other casting details have been confirmed, it's noted that Leonardo DiCaprio will not return as Rick Dalton. Both Fincher and Pitt are prioritizing this project over their other commitments.

Deadline has confirmed The Playlist's report, adding that Pitt received Tarantino's approval to share the script with Fincher, setting the stage for this unexpected sequel.
