And away we go! While we still can’t quite wrap our heads around the fact that David Fincher has directed a full-on, Quentin Tarantino penned and Brad Pitt starring sequel to QT’s 2019 alt-history Tinseltown epic Once Upon A Time In Hollywood, we are incredibly excited for it. And following that fleeting, never-to-be-seen-since Super Bowl trailer for the movie unofficially known as The Adventures Of Cliff Booth, Netflix has today confirmed that the Hawaiian shirt sporting stuntman’s return is getting an IMAX cinema release and hitting Netflix this year. Check out the announcement below;
There you have it! Booth’s big-screen comeback is filling the slot previously held by Greta Gerwig’s Narnia and getting an exclusive two-week IMAX cinema run from 25 November, ahead of a 23 December Netflix streaming drop just in time for Christmas. And what’s more, while we still don’t have a full, official synopsis for The Adventures Of Cliff Booth yet (pretty much all we do know is that the movie’s set to catch up with a Rick Dalton-free Booth in late 70s LA, where he’s earning a living as a Hollywood fixer), we do have a principal cast list to get excited about. Per Netflix’s announcement, Elizabeth Debicki, Scott Caan, Carla Gugino, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Peter Weller, Matt Groove, JB Tadena, Corey Fogelmanis, and Karren Karagulian are all taking a trip back in time with Fincher’s movie.
With Netflix having given the likes of KPop Demon Hunters (belatedly) and Stranger Things (reluctantly) theatrical releases in recent months, and Greta Gerwig’s Narnia still set to hit IMAX cinemas itself in the New Year, it’s heartening to see that Fincher and Tarantino’s unexpected but hotly anticipated team-up is following suit. It also gives Tarantino — whose current side quest is mounting a West End production of his first original play, The Popinjay Cavalier — a chance to release a new movie without it counting as his final movie. The crafty sod.
