Sure, that headline could make you need to examine your calendar, and sure, I can affirm that on the time of publishing, it’s certainly April 1. Nonetheless, I also can affirm that this information, unlikely as it might sound, could be very actual. Based on The Playlist, evidently a sequel to Quentin Tarantino’s “As soon as Upon a Time in Hollywood” starring Brad Pitt as stuntman (and Manson Household nemesis) Cliff Sales space is being arrange at Netflix. What’s extra, though the script for the movie (which as of but is untitled) is written by Tarantino, the film might be directed by another person. Not simply any somebody, nevertheless, however a person by the identify of David Fincher.

We right here at /Movie eagerly chronicled the saga of Tarantino’s post-“Hollywood” plans because it appeared that he was simply across the nook from saying the venture which got here to be generally known as “The Film Critic” as his tenth and (in line with his self-imposed 10-movie restrict) last movie. That venture initially appeared to be reuniting Tarantino with Pitt as director and actor, one thing that wasn’t too shocking given the 2 having labored collectively a number of occasions previously. But, upon the information of Tarantino abandoning the movie, it was revealed that the script could have had some direct ties to “As soon as Upon a Time in Hollywood,” and Pitt could be taking part in Cliff Sales space as soon as once more.
This newest improvement appears to point that this new Fincher/Tarantino movie is certainly both “The Film Critic” or some model of it. No matter this movie finally ends up being, its standing as a “Hollywood” sequel is now not unsure, as Jeff Sneider has claimed that Leonardo DiCaprio (who portrayed Rick Dalton within the movie) is in talks to hitch Pitt and Fincher on the movie, which might be produced for Fincher’s dwelling turf of Netflix. Whether or not Pitt and DiCaprio would be the co-leads of the movie or simply Pitt (or neither, maybe?), one factor is for sure: Rick Dalton lives!

Fincher directing Tarantino’s script could also be all a part of Quentin’s grasp farewell plan
For Fincher fiends, Tarantino truthers, and cinephiles of a sure age, this information is somewhat seismic. With regards to Fincher, whose cinematic output has declined in recent times, it is fantastic to see him bounce again into making a characteristic simply two years after dropping “The Killer” in 2023. Though the wistful, alternate-reality vibes of “Hollywood” aren’t fully the auteur’s factor, he is definitely confirmed himself concerned about fictionalized Hollywood histories, due to 2020’s “Mank.” It is particularly thrilling to see Fincher and Pitt group up once more, as they have not labored collectively as director and actor since 2008’s “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.”

For Tarantino heads, this improvement is even larger. Not solely will we be attending to see “The Film Critic” go earlier than cameras in any case (one thing which I predicted would occur), however we’re lastly getting a direct sequel to a few Tarantino’s characters, one thing which the filmmaker has threatened to pursue way back to the long-fabled “The Vega Brothers.” Regardless that some Tarantino characters have turned up in a number of movies (notably Michael Keaton’s Ray Nicolette and Michael Parks’ Earl McGraw) and lots of others have been referenced all through his motion pictures, this venture marks the primary time we’ll see additional adventures of his protagonists.
Given Tarantino’s insistence on working his profession his method, this information might sound weird on paper, even with the understanding that he is clearly been closely impressed by his “Hollywood” characters in recent times, seen not solely in his writing “The Film Critic” however the “Hollywood” novelization. But this venture could not simply be a byproduct of his “10 motion pictures and out” plan for himself, as others are speculating. It might truly be a part of his farewell plan: in any case, his profession started with the likes of Oliver Stone and Tony Scott making motion pictures from his early screenplays. Maybe Tarantino thinks he must be going out in related style to how he got here in. This Fincher/Pitt/DiCaprio venture could find yourself being a one-off, however possibly we should not be shocked if Paul Thomas Anderson’s subsequent film seems to be a Tarantino script, too. No matter occurs with the “Hollywood” follow-up, we do not have too lengthy to attend, as sources are saying that taking pictures on the movie will start this summer time. Extra because it develops!
