Hold Up! Brad Pitt’s Cliff Booth Sequel Is Hitting IMAX Before Netflix!

Alright, cinephiles and gamers who appreciate a good story, get ready for some exciting news! David Fincher, the mastermind behind thrillers like Gone Girl and Fight Club, is bringing us a sequel to Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, focusing on Brad Pitt’s iconic character, Cliff Booth. And guess what? This isn’t just a straight-to-Netflix deal!

Turns out, The Adventures of Cliff Booth is going to light up IMAX screens across the globe *before* it lands on our streaming queues. Talk about a big entrance!

Netflix has just dropped the bomb: you’ll get to catch Cliff Booth’s latest escapades exclusively in IMAX theaters starting November 25th. This big-screen run will last for two action-packed weeks. So mark your calendars, because if you want that immersive, larger-than-life experience, you’ll need to hit the cinemas by then.

For those who prefer the comfort of their couches, don’t worry, the film will eventually make its way to Netflix on December 23rd, just in time for some holiday binge-watching.

This strategy isn’t new for Netflix. They’ve used a similar playbook for their popular Knives Out sequels, giving them a limited theatrical release before pushing them to the streaming platform right before the festive season. It’s a smart move to build hype and give viewers options.

Interestingly, The Adventures of Cliff Booth is snatching up the IMAX slot that was originally reserved for Greta Gerwig’s Narnia film, which recently got pushed back to February 2027. Looks like Cliff Booth is filling some mighty big shoes!

For fans of David Fincher, this is massive! While he’s been busy crafting brilliant series like Mindhunter and films like Mank and The Killer for Netflix, his last widely released theatrical film was way back in 2014 with Gone Girl. Cinephiles have been eagerly awaiting his grand return to the big screen, and it seems he’s doing it in style with this IMAX premiere.

Here’s a cool tidbit: The Adventures of Cliff Booth actually started as an idea from none other than Quentin Tarantino himself! However, Tarantino eventually lost interest in directing it. Brad Pitt, being the legend he is, then brought the concept to Fincher, and thankfully, Tarantino gave his blessing for Fincher to take the reins.

Details about the plot are still under wraps, but we know it will follow Brad Pitt’s Cliff Booth as a Hollywood ‘fixer’ navigating the wild 1970s scene. Imagine the fashion, the cars, the drama – classic Booth material!

While Leonardo DiCaprio reportedly turned down a small supporting role (boo!), we can expect Timothy Olyphant to reprise his role as James Stacy from Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. The cast is also packed with talent, including Elizabeth Debicki, Scott Caan, Carla Gugino, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Peter Weller, Matt Groove, JB Tadena, Corey Fogelmanis, and Karren Karagulian. Sounds like a killer ensemble!

And what about Tarantino? Well, he’s still on the hunt for his final film, adhering to his self-imposed ‘ten-movie rule’ to keep his filmography sharp. He apparently felt The Adventures of Cliff Booth wasn’t different enough from his previous work, so he’s looking for something truly uncharted for his grand finale. We can’t wait to see what he cooks up next!

So, who’s hyped to see Brad Pitt as Cliff Booth on the biggest screen possible? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below! This looks like a must-watch for film buffs and anyone who loves a good old Hollywood story.
