- Netflix released the first full trailer for "The Further Mis-Adventures of Cliff Booth," following an earlier teaser and offering a deeper look at the David Fincher-directed quasi-sequel to Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.
- The film is set in 1977 — eight years after Once Upon a Time in Hollywood — with Brad Pitt's Cliff Booth now freelancing as a "studio fixer" rather than doubling for Rick Dalton, quipping that Leonardo DiCaprio "got too fat for me to double him anymore."
- The Further Mis-Adventures of Cliff Booth opens in theaters November 25 before streaming on Netflix December 23.
- Timothy Olyphant reprises his Once Upon a Time in Hollywood role as real-life Western actor James Stacy, alongside new cast members Scott Caan, Elizabeth Debicki, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Peter Weller, Carla Gugino, Holt McCallany, and JB Tadena.
- Quentin Tarantino wrote the screenplay but handed directing duties to David Fincher, who reunites with Pitt after Seven, Fight Club, and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.
- Led Zeppelin's "Rock and Roll" soundtracks the trailer, which teases Tarantino-esque fare including axe-yielding hitmen, bags of money, and a variety of gangsters.
Why it matters: The film marks a rare Pitt–Fincher reunion, their first collaboration since The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, paired with Tarantino's script — a handoff between two auteur directors. Netflix also granting a November 25 theatrical window before its December 23 streaming debut is an unusual release pattern for a platform that typically bypasses theaters entirely.
