Once Upon a Time in Hollywood 2: Leonardo DiCaprio in Talks, David Fincher To Direct
In an incredibly surprising piece of news, The Playlist is reporting that Brad Pitt and David Fincher's mysterious Netflix movie is none other than Once Upon a Time in Hollywood 2, with a separate report noting that Leonardo DiCaprio is in talks to join them.
According to The Playlist's report, Fincher and Pitt will reunite to work on a sequel to Quentin Tarantino's 2019 comedy drama, with Pitt reprising his role as stuntman Cliff Booth. That's not all, though, as the project, which is said to be in the works at Netflix, could be getting even more star power, too.
According to a separate report from The InSneider's Jeff Sneider, Leonardo DiCaprio — who starred alongside Pitt in the original film — is in talks to join Pitt and Fincher and reprise his role as Rick Dalton.
While The Playlist's report notes that the film 'sounds very much like a Cliff Booth movie,' it's possible DiCaprio's Dalton could show up in a cameo or smaller role. As for Margot Robbie, who played Sharon Tate in the movie, the report mentions that she is also 'available' for the movie should Fincher come calling.
As for how this movie came together, The Playlist notes that the script for the film actually comes from Tarantino himself, and was something that his script for The Movie Critic (which was also rumored to involve Pitt as Booth in some capacity) evolved into over time. Tarantino also has a unique deal with Sony Pictures on the rights to various aspects of Once Upon a Time.
The movie sheds some light as to what Fincher is working on next for Netflix following his 2023 thriller The Killer. He and Pitt have worked together for three of Pitt's most memorable movies, including 1995's Seven, 1999's Fight Club, and 2008's The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.
Originally released in 2019, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood followed the story of a fading actor (DiCaprio) and his stunt double (Pitt) as they navigate the changing world of Hollywood. A subplot of the movie also focused on Charles Manson and the Tate murders. The film was nominated for ten Oscars, winning two (Best Supporting Actor for Pitt and Best Production Design).

Steelers CB Beanie Bishop's viral Pitt logo stomp blasted by GM Doug Whaley
Steelers CB Beanie Bishop's viral Pitt logo stomp blasted by GM Doug Whaley Beanie Bishop Jr.'s viral disrespect of Pitt football continues to make headlines — as new information on the situation has been brought to light. On 93.7 The Fan Morning Show, it was revealed that the Steelers were invited into the Pitt Panthers' locker room — where Bishop would commit his stomp and cleat drag on their logo— making the situation that much worse. A special guest on The Fan Morning Show — acting Pitt GM Doug Whaley — made it clear he was less than thrilled with Bishop's actions: "When you get invited to someone's house, and when you're in their locker room house, as sacred as it is — that locker room, you have to give it mad respect. And for [the Steelers] to be invited guests over — and for him to do this — it shows how unprofessional, but to the core, the type of person he is. There's lines you just don't cross. It's a fun rivalry, and we say 'we hate each other,' but we hate each other on the field. We respect the rivalry off the field." Whaley also previously worked as the Steelers' pro personal creator from 2000 to 2010 — which adds an extra layer of intrigue to his comments. Additionally, Bishop was unapologetic about his actions or the potential backlash, claiming that he only cared about the reactions of Steelers fans and WVU fans.
