Brad Pitt is to star in a follow-up to Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. But, having written the script, Tarantino will hand directing duties to David Fincher, according to a report in the Playlist and subsequently confirmed by Deadline.
In Tarantino’s 2019 alternative-history drama about the Manson “family” and Sharon Tate, Pitt starred as stunt performer Cliff Booth opposite Leonardo DiCaprio (as washed-up actor Rick Dalton) and Margot Robbie (as Tate). While no plot details of the new project have been officially announced, the Hollywood Reporter is saying it will be “derivative” of the original, rather than a sequel. Tarantino published a “novelisation” of the film in 2021, which included further details of Booth’s backstory and life episodes.
