David Fincher to Direct Brad Pitt in ‘Once Upon a Time in Hollywood’ Netflix Follow-Up From a Tarantino Script
David Fincher is circling a 'Once Upon a Time in Hollywood' sequel, written by Quentin Tarantino. Brad Pitt will return for the follow-up.
The project comes together after Tarantino scrapped plans for what would’ve been his 10th (and allegedly final) feature, “The Movie Critic.” A script had been written and Brad Pitt had been cast in the lead role. The project reunites Pitt with Fincher, who have each made some of their most acclaimed films together: the seminal thriller “Se7en,” cult satire “Fight Club” and Oscar darling “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.” It seems less likely that Leonardo DiCaprio or Margot Robbie would reprise their roles for the sequel. While Tarantino’s reputation is as a writer-director, the filmmaker has written scripts that he did not end up helming, including Tony Scott’s “True Romance” and Robert Rodriguez’s “From Dusk till Dawn.” Meanwhile, Fincher has made two features at Netflix, both of which share themes with this new one: the Hollywood period piece “Mank” and the violent working-man thriller “The Killer.”
