Scott Caan and Elizabeth Debicki join Once Upon A Time In Hollywood sequel
Scott Caan and Elizabeth Debicki have joined the cast of the new 'Once Upon A Time In Hollywood' movie. The pair will join Brad Pitt in David Fincher's follow-up to Quentin Tarantino's 2019 film, which starred Pitt and Leonardo DiCaprio. According to The Hollywood Reporter, it is unclear who Caan and Debicki will play in the upcoming movie. The story is said to feature two key female roles, 'one who runs a bar and mud wrestling establishment and one a trophy wife' but it has not been revealed if Debicki will play once of these or an entirely new part. It will be a reunion for Pitt and Caan, who previously worked together on the 'Ocean's' movie series. Brad, 61, will reprise his role as stuntman Cliff Booth, in the upcoming film, which Fincher will direct for Netflix from a Tarantino script. It's said that Tarantino retains the rights to the characters in 'Once Upon A Time In Hollywood', while Sony - which financed and released the movie - retains the film itself, which is why the upcoming project is not seen as a sequel or prequel despite using the Booth character. It's unclear if Leonardo DiCaprio will return as Western TV star Rick Dalton. Tarantino won't be at the helm, which means the film won't count as his 10th and final film. The director had had been set to reunite with Pitt - who also appeared in 'Inglourious Basterds in 2009 - for third collaboration on 'The Movie Critic. According to Deadline, Tarantino has "simply changed his mind" after delaying production to rewrite the script. Now, he's expected to go back to the drawing board in a bid to find a firm idea for what will be his final film.

Brad Pitt, David Fincher, Quentin Tarantino Team Up for "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" Sequel at Netflix
Yara Sameh David Fincher has been tapped to direct the sequel to 'Once Upon a Time in Hollywood,' with Quentin Tarantino writing the follow-up to his Oscar-winning epic. The project, which does not have an official title, 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. It's an especially unique production — not only because a high-profile director is helming a sequel to another high-profile director's movie, but also because of the property's shift from a theatrical studio to a streamer. The move is especially pertinent as news of the project emerged during the movie theater industry's annual gathering at CinemaCon in Las Vegas. 'Once Upon a Time in Hollywood' was released by Sony Pictures in 2019, but Tarantino negotiated a deal that would return him ownership of the film's underlying copyright after a number of years. Since the 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 10th and final feature, 'The Movie Critic.' A script had been written and Brad Pitt had been cast in the lead role. The story was said to take place in the '70s and had been rumored that Pitt would be playing some version of his 'Once Upon a Time' character Cliff Booth, who in Tarantino's novelization of his own feature was revealed to be quite the movie buff. Now, Pitt will officially reprise the role, which earned him an Oscar for supporting actor. The project reunites Pitt with Fincher, who have each made some of their most acclaimed films together: the seminal thriller 'Se7en,' cult satire 'Fight Club,' and Oscar darling 'The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.' It seems less likely that Leonardo DiCaprio or Margot Robbie would reprise their roles for the sequel. While Tarantino's reputation is as a writer-director, the filmmaker has written scripts that he did not helm, including Tony Scott's 'True Romance' and Robert Rodriguez's 'From Dusk till Dawn.' Meanwhile, Fincher has made two features at Netflix, both of which share themes with this new one: the Hollywood period piece 'Mank' and the violent working-man thriller 'The Killer.' read more New Tourism Route To Launch in Old Cairo Ahmed El Sakka-Led Play 'Sayidati Al Jamila' to Be Staged in KSA on Dec. 6 Mandy Moore Joins Season 2 of "Dr. Death" Anthology Series Don't Miss These Movies at 44th Cairo Int'l Film Festival Today Amr Diab to Headline KSA's MDLBEAST Soundstorm 2022 Festival Arts & Culture Mai Omar Stuns in Latest Instagram Photos Arts & Culture "The Flash" to End with Season 9 Arts & Culture Ministry of Culture Organizes four day Children's Film Festival Arts & Culture Canadian PM wishes Muslims Eid-al-Adha News Egypt confirms denial of airspace access to US B-52 bombers News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia News Australia Fines Telegram $600,000 Over Terrorism, Child Abuse Content Lifestyle Pistachio and Raspberry Cheesecake Domes Recipe Arts & Culture Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban's $4.7M LA Home Burglarized Videos & Features Bouchra Dahlab Crowned Miss Arab World 2025 ..

Quentin Tarantino, David Fincher and Brad Pitt teaming up for ‘Once Upon A Time In Hollywood' sequel
ADVERTISEMENT Quentin Tarantino's 2019 film Once Upon A Time... In Hollywood is reportedly getting a sequel directed by David Fincher ( Se7en , Zodiac , The Killer ). Brad Pitt is set to reprise his Oscar-winning role as stuntman Cliff Booth. Considering that too-good-to-be-true billing; the rare occurance of a high-profile director helming the follow-up to another high-profile director's film; the fact that the last time Tarantino wrote a film that he didn't direct was 1996's From Dusk Til Dawn ; and that the filmmaker has been a vocal critic of streamers such as Netflix – on which this sequel would debut considering Fincher's ongoing contract with the streamer - this sounds like an April Fools. Still, several sources have corroborated the initial report by Playlist , which states that Fincher is looking to shoot this summer, that the film likely has a $200million budget (with Tarantino receiving $20million for his screenplay) and that Leonardo DiCaprio might appear in a small cameo. Once Upon A Hollwyood Sony Pictures Releasing Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood , written and directed by Tarantino, was released in 2019 and followed the adventures of a fading TV star Rick Dalton (Leonardo DiCaprio) and his stuntman Cliff Booth (Pitt) who navigate the changing film industry and the threat of the Mansion family in an alternative version of 1960s Hollywood. Tarantino published a 'novelisation' of the film in 2021, which included further details of Booth's backstory and life episodes. Cliff Booth Sony Pictures Releasing It is believed that the newly announced sequel is actually a derivative of the original rather than a direct follow-up - and very possibly an evolution of Quentin Tarantino's script The Movie Critic , which was intended to be the director's tenth and final film until he abandoned the idea . Tarantino had previously revealed that The Movie Critic was about a real-life film journalist for a 'porno rag', who he often read growing up. 'He wrote about mainstream movies and he was the second-string critic,' Tarantino shared. 'I think he was a very good critic. He was as cynical as hell. His reviews were a cross between early Howard Stern and what Travis Bickle might be if he were a film critic.' It was set to be set in 1977 Southern California, and Brad Pitt had already signed on to star for the third time with Tarantino, after Inglourious Basterds and Once Upon A Time... In Hollywood . Reports suggest that Pitt loved the script so much he wouldn't let it go. And it seems that he now got his (retooled) wish. Brad Pitt winning his first Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for his role in Once Upon A Hollywood AP Photo Pitt and Fincher have collaborated several times before, in the seminal serial killer thriller Se7en , the cult satire Fight Club and F. Scott Fitzgerald adaptation The Curious Case of Benjamin Button . Fincher recently renewed his Netflix contract until 2027 and has at least four different projects in various stages of development, including Squid Game: America and his Chinatown prequel. He has already released two films with the streamer: Mank in 2020 and The Killer in 2023.

David Fincher to direct Brad Pitt in Netflix sequel to 'Once Upon a Time in Hollywood'
David Fincher is set to direct a follow-up to Quentin Tarantino's 2019 hit Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, with Brad Pitt reprising his Oscar-winning role as stuntman Cliff Booth. The new film, which remains untitled, is being developed at Netflix under Fincher's first-look deal, marking a significant shift from the original's theatrical release by Sony Pictures to a streaming platform. Quentin Tarantino has written the script for the sequel, despite stepping back from directing duties. The move comes after Tarantino shelved The Movie Critic, which had been positioned as his final film and was to star Pitt. Reports suggest the scrapped project included elements related to Booth's character, which may now be incorporated into the Netflix sequel. Brad Pitt's return as Cliff Booth reunites him with Fincher, with whom he previously collaborated on cinematic landmarks including Se7en, Fight Club, and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. The duo's history hints at another potentially genre-defining collaboration. While Leonardo DiCaprio and Margot Robbie are not expected to return, Pitt's reprisal offers continuity with Tarantino's richly developed universe. The original Once Upon a Time in Hollywood was both a critical and commercial success, and this follow-up, blending the visions of two cinematic giants, is already generating anticipation ahead of production. Netflix has yet to comment on the release timeline.

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).
