Brad Pitt‘s return as Cliff Booth finally has a name from Netflix.
The streaming service announced Wednesday that director David Fincher‘s feature follow-up to Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is officially titled The Further Mis-Adventures of Cliff Booth. The film gets a two-week Imax run globally starting Nov. 25 before it begins streaming Dec. 23.
Quentin Tarantino penned the script for the new movie that also stars Elizabeth Debicki, Scott Caan, Carla Gugino, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Peter Weller, Matt Groove, JB Tadena, Corey Fogelmanis and Karren Karagulian.
Pitt reprises his role as stunt double Booth from the 2019 Sony Pictures hit that Tarantino wrote and directed, with Leonardo DiCaprio co-starring in that one as Western icon Rick Dalton. Pitt and Ceán Chaffin serve as producers for the new movie.
The Further Mis-Adventures of Cliff Booth is set in 1977, eight years after the events of the first film, and centers on Booth coming to terms with a very different Hollywood.
Netflix ran a brief teaser trailer for Cliff Booth during this year’s Super Bowl in February. “I don’t possess many talents, but I know better than to get in the way of a good story,” Pitt’s titular character says in the footage that aired.
Tarantino has explained that he opted against directing the follow-up film because he did not want his next directorial effort, which he intends to be his last, to be a sequel. “I love this script, but I’m still walking down the same ground I’ve already walked,” he said last year on the Church of Tarantino podcast. “It just kind of unenthused me.”
Once Upon a Time in Hollywood was a major success, collecting $377 million at the worldwide box office and earning two Oscars from 10 nominations, including Pitt’s first-ever acting win. It remains highly regarded and helped propel the film careers for such supporting players as Mikey Madison, Austin Butler, Sydney Sweeney and Margaret Qualley.
