Elizabeth Debicki ( Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 , The Crown ) and Scott Caan ( Ocean's 11 ) have joined the cast of David Fincher's Once Upon a Time in Hollywood follow-up at Netflix. The pair will star alongside Brad Pitt, who is reprising his Oscar-winning role as the zen stuntman Cliff Booth for the feature, which comes from a script written by the original film's writer-director Quentin Tarantino.
The sequel still seems somewhat unreal to many fans of Tarantino and Fincher, but with the addition of more cast members, the project seems to be gaining steam as it heads towards a potential summer production start in California.
The synopsis of the film remains shrouded in mystery, but the film, which is currently being called The Continuing Adventures of Cliff Booth , is currently in pre-production.
It was previously revealed that this next chapter is shaping up to be a unique continuation and it was explained:
"This probably should not be thought of as a sequel. This should be thought of more of a follow-up that's connected to but not the same as — the example that was cited to me was, think about how A Big Sleep , the Raymond Chandler adaptation starring Humphrey Bogart, is in the same world as Farewell, My Lovely , the 1975 Robert Mitchum movie, but it's [a] different actor, different directors, different time in the storyline. They are different, they are not really sequels, they are the further adventures of [Cliff]."
It was also said: 'The movie takes place in 1977, which is roughly eight years after Once Upon a Time in Hollywood , so a different time in Cliff's life."
Stay tuned for updates as it moves forward.
