Carla Gugino joins Brad Pitt in Netflix's ‘Cliff Booth' movie directed by David Fincher
Carla Gugino has officially joined the cast of The Adventures of Cliff Booth, Netflix's highly anticipated film directed by David Fincher and starring Brad Pitt.
The movie, based on a script by Quentin Tarantino, continues the story of Cliff Booth, the character Pitt portrayed in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, a role that earned him an Academy Award.
Plot details for the upcoming film remain under wraps, but sources describe it as following Booth's life as a Hollywood fixer. Gugino's role in the project has not yet been disclosed, but her addition to the ensemble cast adds another layer of prestige to an already star-studded lineup. The cast includes Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Elizabeth Debicki, and Scott Caan.
Production for The Adventures of Cliff Booth is expected to begin later this year. Netflix has not commented on Gugino's casting, but the streaming giant is reportedly investing heavily in the project.
Carla Gugino is no stranger to high-profile roles. She was most recently seen in The Friend with Naomi Watts and Bill Murray and will appear next in Amazon Studios' Heads of State alongside Idris Elba and John Cena. On the television side, she earned a Critics Choice nomination for The Fall of the House of Usher and has starred in notable series like The Haunting of Hill House, Jett, and Leopard Skin.
With Fincher directing, Tarantino scripting, and Pitt returning to one of his most iconic roles, The Adventures of Cliff Booth is shaping up to be a major cinematic event.

Brad Pitt says ‘F1' racing calmed him, real traffic doesn't
Brad Pitt made an appearance at the New York City premiere of his upcoming film F1, where he opened up about his experience behind the wheel and reflected on this chapter of his life. Speaking with Extra's Mona Kosar Abdi, Pitt shared that his current buzz cut is tied to a role he just completed. 'I did a job. I just came off a movie and it was for the character,' he said. In F1, Pitt plays a veteran driver returning to the sport alongside newcomer Damson Idris. The role required Pitt to drive high-performance vehicles on racetracks — an experience he found surprisingly meditative. 'There's this strange calm that happens in the car and this total focus and presence that I've never experienced from anything else,' he revealed. While the racetrack brings peace, the actor admitted his real-life driving style could use some work. 'I'm one of those that feels like I'm always on the racetrack and I need to, like, chill,' Pitt joked. 'That's this year — just trying to chill. Enjoy the sides, don't sweat the traffic. I'm not doing very well, by the way.' The film also leans into humor, including lighthearted jabs at Pitt's age, which he embraces. Reflecting on his career, he said, 'I really enjoy it, but I so enjoy what other people are doing... it's less of a hunt and more of an appreciation.' F1 speeds into theaters on June 27.

Schwarzenegger, Moss bring the heat in 'Fubar 2'
Austrian and American actor Arnold Schwarzenegger had to admit that it took him a lot of practice to nail the tango scene with Canadian actor Carrie-Anne Moss for season 2 of the Netflix action-comedy series Fubar. "We practiced. We practiced a lot, and she didn't need as much practice as I did, but I really practiced," the former California governor told Reuters. The Terminator actor recalled doing the first take for the dance scene and impressing everyone with how ready they were. "They just thought we were rehearsing, but they did not know that we were that prepared for the whole thing," Schwarzenegger said with a smile. Fubar season 2, created by Nick Santora and produced by Skydance Television and Blackjack Films, premiered on Netflix last Thursday. The story follows Luke Brunner, played by Schwarzenegger and his daughter Emma, played by Monica Barbaro, who are both CIA operatives. Their fellow CIA team members include Barry Putt, played by Milan Carter, Boro Polonia, played by Gabriel Luna, Roo Russell, played by Fortune Feimster and Aldon Reese, portrayed by Travis Van Winkle. In season 2, Brunner is back to working with his CIA team, but things take an unexpected turn when he encounters his ex-lover Greta Nelson, played by Moss. Greta is a former East German spy who ends up going up against Brunner in both the tango and a tussling battle. "Most of my scenes are with Arnold, so we developed this incredible friendship," Moss said. Schwarzenegger humorously recalled the Matrix actor bringing what he dubbed as "secret oil" to the set and putting it behind his ears before shooting a scene. "Peppermint oil. I'm a big peppermint oil or just essential oil person," Moss clarified. "It was like some magic power because as soon as she smeared the stuff behind my ears, I mean it was like 'pum!' and we were kind of out of the gate doing our scenes in the most perfect way," Schwarzenegger added.
