Netflix’s ‘Cliff Booth’ Trailer Has Brad Pitt Taking a Playful Poke at Leonardo DiCaprio
The first full trailer has dropped for Netflix‘s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood sequel The Further Mis-Adventures of Cliff Booth.
The new footage (below) has Brad Pitt‘s former stuntman now working as a Hollywood fixer, while also bartending and working as a projectionist.
The trailer also includes a playful joke at the expense of his Once Upon co-star Leonardo DiCaprio. Booth explains he no longer doubles for DiCaprio’s character Rick Dalton because “Rick got too fat.”
The film marks a unique collaboration — written by Quentin Tarantino with David Fincher taking over as director.
The Further Mis-Adventures of Cliff Booth gets a two-week exclusive run in Imax theaters globally starting Nov. 25 and then will debut on Netflix on Dec. 23.
Here’s the detailed official description and trailer: “Murder, blackmail, theft, extortion — just another summer in Hollywood. It’s 1977, eight years since Cliff Booth (Pitt) encountered the Manson family in Quentin Tarantino’s parallel history of 1969, Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood. In The Further Mis-Adventures of Cliff Booth, directed by David Fincher from a new script by Tarantino, the fairytale is over. Los Angeles no longer needs a hippie-slaying stuntman the way it did. But Hollywood will always have problems, problems that can only be solved by someone with Cliff’s unique (occasionally extralegal) abilities. When he’s not earning his keep bartending or as a projectionist, Cliff Booth is a fixer — solving situations for Hollywood’s great and, sometimes, not so good.”
Continued the description: “He’s 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 L.A.”
