David Fincher is directing a sequel to Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (2019), with Quentin Tarantino writing the follow-up to his Oscar-winning epic. The project does not have an official title as yet, and is being set up at Netflix, where Fincher has a first-look deal. Brad Pitt will reprise his role as stuntman and potential wife-killer Cliff Booth.

As per reports, it’s a unique production, not only because a high-profile director is helming a sequel to another high-profile director’s film, but also because of the property’s shift from a theatrical studio to a streamer.
Once Upon a Time in Hollywood was released by Sony Pictures, but Tarantino negotiated a deal that would return him ownership of the film’s underlying copyright after a number of years. Since this follow-up is being set up under Fincher’s first-look deal at Netflix, that likely indicates that sequel rights may already be privately retained by Tarantino. The project comes together after Tarantino scrapped plans for what would’ve been his tenth feature, The Movie Critic.
A script had been written and Pitt had been cast in the lead role. The story was said to take place in the ’70s and follow a film critic who wrote for an adult magazine.
