Follow-up to 'Once Upon a Time in Hollywood'... Confirmed to release on Netflix on Christmas after two-week exclusive IMAX run

The collaboration of Hollywood's powerhouse trio, which has drawn global attention, has finally confirmed its release schedule. Netflix officially announced on the 20th (local time) via Deadline and Variety that Brad Pitt, David Fincher, and Quentin Tarantino's new film 'The Adventures of Cliff Booth' will have a two-week exclusive theatrical release in IMAX theaters worldwide starting November 25, followed by streaming on Netflix on December 23.

Major theater chains including AMC have also confirmed the screening. This official confirmation comes three months after a surprise teaser was released during the Super Bowl period, exciting movie fans around the world.

This film is a sequel to Tarantino's 2019 work 'Once Upon a Time in Hollywood,' with Pitt reprising his role as stuntman Cliff Booth, for which he won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor. Set in 1977 Hollywood, Pitt explained, "This is less of a sequel and more of an episode featuring the 'Once Upon a Time' characters."

Although Tarantino wrote the screenplay himself, direction is handled by Fincher, who has an exclusive contract with Netflix. This marks the fourth collaboration between Fincher and Pitt, following 'Se7en,' 'Fight Club,' and 'The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.' The mere meeting of the two was enough to heighten expectations among movie fans worldwide. The production budget is approximately $200 million (about 276 billion won), making it the highest-budget film for both Tarantino and Fincher to date. Tarantino is still conceptualizing his 'final 10th film,' and this project involves his participation only as a screenwriter, not as a director.

The cast is also glamorous. Timothy Olyphant returns as James Stacy, following his role in the previous film, while Elizabeth Debicki, Scott Caan, Carla Gugino, Yaya Atticus-Rose Martin II, and Peter Weller have joined. Leonardo DiCaprio has personally confirmed his non-participation. The music will be composed by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, the duo who previously collaborated with Fincher on 'The Social Network' and 'Fight Club,' further raising expectations. Cinematography is handled by Eric Messerschmidt, Fincher's frequent director of photography.

This release confirmation was made possible by taking over the Thanksgiving IMAX slot originally occupied by Greta Gerwig's 'Narnia: The Nephew of the Magician.' 'Narnia' has been postponed to 2027 and will adopt the traditional theatrical release method.

Netflix's active push for IMAX large-theater releases is the third time following 'K-Pop Demon Hunters' and the 'Stranger Things' finale, leading to analysis that a gradual shift is being detected in its streaming-first strategy. Deadline noted, "This decision is an important signal that Netflix is redefining its relationship with the theatrical market."
