Sounds very interesting !

[BloodshotUSA]

I can't tell if this report about Fincher directing a sequel to Once Upon a Time In Hollywood is true or an April Fools joke. It seems so random.

But websites are starting to run with it. If it is just a joke, then a lot of sites are going to have egg on their faces.

I'm still taking it with a grain of salt given today's date, but if it turned out to be true that'd be kind of interesting....

Apparently the source for the story swears it isn’t a joke… here’s hoping!

The source for this story claims it isn’t an April Fools joke. Do you believe them? This is the absolute worst day to drop a story like this one.

Last week, I sprinkled some intel that David Fincher was going to be directing a mysterious sequel to a film that wasn’t his. Brad Pitt was set to star. I don’t think any of your guesses came up with the correct answer.

Here’s The Playlist reporting that Fincher is set to direct Pitt in a “Once Upon A Time in Hollywood” sequel written by Quentin Tarantino. Pitt is set to reprise his Oscar-winning role as Cliff Booth.

Apparently, this is the screenplay that Tarantino’s “The Movie Critic” evolved into. The InSneider additionally reports that Leonardo DiCaprio will appear in a small cameo. Margot Robbie is interested to return as well.

I would definitely be down for that, but I’m not buying it.

If it is true it would be great news. The best "Tarantino movies" are the two that he didn't direct. But sadly it is a April 1 joke.

I never believe stuff like this on April Fools Day.

Look at the bright side - the part about this being a new David Fincher movie and starring Brad Pitt was announced a few days ago, so it can't be an April Fools Day.

As to whether or not it really is a sequel to OUATIH, well, we can just keep our fingers crossed, but the earlier report did say it was gonna be a sequel to a movie that Fincher didn't direct.

[drb999]

Unless they were laying the pipe for this joke. But yeah that indicates it’s real.

The Playlist was the one who broke the story that David Fincher was directing Once Upon A Time in Hollywood 2 (or whatever it winds up being called) for Netflix with Brad Pitt in the lead. Jeff Sneider, who reported shortly after that Leo was in talks to return in a supporting role, is saying on twitter that its not an April Fools Day joke.

Deadline has also just released an article confirming, say that its legit and not a joke.

Deadline confirms it's no joke!!!

Cliff Booth Lives & It’s No April Fool’s Joke: Netflix, David Fincher & Brad Pitt Resurrect Tarantino Script

Rumors raced around Hollywood today that the script Quentin Tarantino planned to make his last film but abandoned will see the light of day. It started with a wild report about a Once Upon A Time…In Hollywood sequel that originated in The Playlist. Being this is April Fool’s Day, it required some vetting.

So here is what we hear. Brad Pitt indeed got Tarantino’s blessing to show Pitt’s Se7en director David Fincher the script that focuses on subsequent adventures of Once Upon A Time…In Hollywood‘s Cliff Booth character. And because Fincher is exclusive to Netflix, the movie — if it gets made — will be financed and released by Netflix, straight to streaming. Tarantino will be paid a fortune for his words, as he readies a play he’s written and works on the final film he’ll direct. That one seems headed for Sony, where Tarantino directed the first film. No way Tarantino would helm his final film for a streaming service, but he respects Fincher and Netflix has been Fincher’s domain since he helped establish the streaming giant with House of Cards.

It’s understandable that Pitt would want to reprise Booth: he won his first Academy Award for playing the stuntman and confidante of Rick Dalton (Leonardo Di Caprio) in Once Upon A Time…In Hollywood. There was a lot left to explore in Booth’s past as a hero soldier and stone killer, who in the movie is depicted as maybe or maybe not deliberately killing his irate wife with a spear gun on a boat. And who also took out the trio of Manson family acolytes who knocked on Dalton’s door instead of Sharon Tate. Those unfortunates included Austin Butler and Mikey Madison, the latter of whom just won the Oscar for Anora.

That wife killing allegation and many other questions about Booth are all answered in Once Upon A Time In Hollywood: A Novel, the movie novelization Tarantino wrote and published which added reams of material and backstory on the Cliff Booth mythology. It included a fatal run in with a couple of goonish henchman of a mobster who tried to strongarm and scare Booth away from spending time in the company of the mobster’s mistress. Tarantino did a lot more than a simple novelization of his movie, to the delight of fans of the film. When Deadline broke news that Tarantino decided rather shockingly to scrap his followup project and find another for the tenth and final film he will direct, it was evident that Booth was the principal character in The Movie Critic, a working title that likely corresponded to the fact that Booth’s passion for movie watching was explored in detail.

It is not certain this will all work out, and it seems unlikely that DiCaprio will take part in this one. But if you can’t have Tarantino continue the exploits of Cliff Booth, you could do a lot worse than have Fincher finish the mission. No comment from Netflix.

Not sure what to feel, the tone of OUATIH is different from Fincher's usual work. But hopefully the 4 hours cut will see the light of day!

This is gonna be more like a spinoff of the original, though. It could have a more somber tone? Depends on how QT wrote it.

[Prohibida]

April Fools joke or not!?

[Cremildo]

Why break such weird news today of all days? Just about everybody will just assume it's bullshit.
