A Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood Sequel Without Tarantino Directing?

by

Titled “Once More in Tinseltown… in Hollywood,” David Fincher is slated to direct a sequel to Quentin Tarantino’s 2019 movie, as announced by The Hollywood Reporter. Scripted by Tarantino himself, the sequel will premiere on Netflix. Brad Pitt is expected to return to his Academy Award-winning character, Cliff Booth, while it remains uncertain if Leonardo DiCaprio will reprise his role from the original film.

As a cinephile, I’ve been eagerly anticipating Quentin Tarantino’s next masterpiece, tentatively titled “Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood 2“. Contrary to popular belief that Tarantino has set a self-imposed limit of ten films, this upcoming production seems to challenge that notion. The director-writer, currently delaying his swansong, is reportedly spending some time in the limelight until his kids are old enough to join him on set.

According to Variety, Tarantino’s supposedly final feature, “The Movie Critic“, was rumored to incorporate a reimagined version of Brad Pitt’s character, Cliff Booth. While Fincher’s new film won’t be a direct sequel, as per THR, due to Sony still holding the rights to the original, Tarantino cleverly bypasses this restriction by penning a new movie with the same characters.

I can only hope that the casting for this new production will live up to the exceptional talent pool in the original, which somehow managed to include Mikey Madison, Maya Hawke, Austin Butler, Margaret Qualley, and Sydney Sweeney – all of whom have some pretty big shoes to fill if they’re to win an Oscar. Fingers crossed!
