Yes, this title can make you want to check your calendar, and yes, I can confirm that at the time of publication, it is indeed on April 1. However, I can also confirm that this news, unlikely that it may seem, is very real. According to the playlistIt seems that a series of “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” by Quentin Tarantino with Brad Pitt as a stuntman (and Manson Family Nemesis) Cliff Booth is created in Netflix. In addition, although the script for the film (which is still without title) is written by Tarantino, the film will be directed by someone else. Not just any person, however, but a man named David Fincher.

We here chronically chronically chronically the saga of the post-“Hollywood” plans by Tarantino because it seemed that it was fairly close to the announcement of the project which became “The Movie Critic” as its 10th and (according to its final film of 10 self-imposed films). This project initially seemed to bring together Tarantino with Pitt as director and actor, which was not too surprising since the two worked together several times in the past. Again, On Tarantino news abandoning the filmIt was revealed that the script may have had direct links with “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood”, and Pitt would play Cliff Booth again.

This last development seems to indicate that this new Fincher / Tarantino film is indeed “The Movie Critic” or a version of it. Whatever this film ends up being, its “Hollywood” status is no longer in doubt, As Jeff Sneider claimed That Leonardo DiCaprio (who described Rick Dalton in the film) is in talks to join Pitt and finish on the film, which will be produced for the grass at home from Fincher de Netflix. Whether Pitt and DiCaprio are the co-chefs of the film or simply Pitt (or ni, perhaps?), One thing is certain: Rick Dalton lives!

To finish Fiends, Tarantino Truthers and film buffs of a certain age, this news is rather seismic. Regarding Fincher, whose film production has decreased in recent years, it is wonderful to see it jump in the manufacture of a functionality only after having abandoned “the killer” in 2023. Although the melancholy and alternative vibrations certainly have not proven by “Hollywood”. Thanks to “Mank” from 2020. It is particularly exciting to review Fincher and Pitt to team up, because they did not work together as director and actor since “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button” of 2008.

For Tarantino’s heads, this development is even greater. Not only will we be able to see “The Movie Critic” go in front of the cameras after all (something I predicted would happen), but we finally get a direct sequence to a few characters from Tarantino, which the filmmaker threatened to continue as far as the Long Réstine “The Vega brothers.” Even if some Tarantino characters appeared in several films (notably Ray Nicolette by Michael Keaton and Earl McGraw by Michael Parks) and many others have been referenced throughout his films, this project marks the first time that we will see other adventures of his protagonists.

Given Tarantino’s insistence on the management of his career in his own way, this news may seem bizarre on paper, even with the understanding that he has clearly been strongly inspired by his characters “Hollywood” in recent years, seen not only in his writing “The Movie Critic” but but Romanization “Hollywood”. However, this project may not only be a by-product of its plan “10 films and out” for itself, like others speculate. This can actually be part of his farewell plan: after all, his career started with tastes Oliver Stone and Tony Scott make films from his first scenarios. Maybe Tarantino thinks he should come out in the same way as the way he entered. This FINCHER / PITT / DICAPRIO project could end up being a single off, but perhaps perhaps should not also be surprised if Paul Thomas Anderson’s next film turns out to be a Tarantino script. Whatever happens with the “Hollywood” follow -up, we don’t have too much time to wait, because the sources say that the shooting on the film will start this summer. The more it develops!
