First look at The Crown star in Netflix's '70s-set sequel to Quentin Tarantino's "masterpiece"

Netflix has released the trailer for The Further Mis-Adventures of Cliff Booth, the sequel to Quentin Tarantino's Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, focusing on the titular former stunt double played by Brad Pitt.

Directed by David Fincher from Tarantino's script, this new film moves the action forward to the 1970s, where Booth works as a bartender, projectionist, and 'fixer', who does anything that Hollywood's elite asks of him, legal or not.

The trailer shows us that his third job involves all the violence and colourful characters you'd expect from Tarantino's world, even if Tarantino isn't the one behind the camera this time.

The official synopsis gives us a bit more about what we can expect from the plot, teasing: "[Cliff is] curious when he gets a call from talent agent Karen Crosby (Elizabeth Debicki), on behalf of her client, TV megastar Charlie Peters (Scott Caan) – a man known for doing his own stunts.

"And he's further entertained and intrigued when he meets other characters in Charlie’s world, from his knowing wife Toni (Carla Gugino) to pro football champion turned screen star Roderick 'Hot Rod' Harrison (Yahya Abdul-Mateen II).

"Then there are the Verdusco brothers (Matt Groove and JB Tadena), mysterious gangsters causing mayhem across the city.

"What was once a fairytale is now a crime story – a cocktail of violence, ambition, and desire that could only happen in LA."

The synopsis also suggests that the story may not have a happy ending...

The film is being made by Netflix, but there's mixed news if you want to see it on the big screen.

The movie is getting a two-week run in cinemas, but it will be exclusively in IMAX, so if you don't have a cinema near you in that format, you're out of luck.

Once Upon a Time in Hollywood was a critical hit when it was released in 2019, with Esquire calling it a "Shakespearean masterpiece" at the time.

The Further Mis-Adventures of Cliff Booth will be released in cinemas on 25 November, before coming to Netflix on 23 December.
