Fincher’s Cliff Booth Film Sets November IMAX Run and December Streaming Debut

Brad Pitt’s Cliff Booth is returning in a new film directed by David Fincher, with two distinct release windows now announced. The Further Mis-Adventures of Cliff Booth is set for an exclusive two-week global IMAX run beginning November 25, followed by a December 23 streaming debut. Those dates give cinema audiences a defined first window rather than a simultaneous home release.

The film moves the character from the alternate-history 1969 setting of Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood to Los Angeles in 1977. Quentin Tarantino wrote the new script, while Fincher directs. According to the announced premise, Booth now works at times as a bartender or projectionist and handles difficult situations for Hollywood clients. A call from a talent agent draws him into a crime story involving a television star and figures around him.

Elizabeth Debicki plays agent Karen Crosby, Scott Caan plays the TV performer Charlie Peters, and the announced cast also includes Carla Gugino, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II and Peter Weller. That is enough to establish the new film’s setting and central relationships, but promotional descriptions leave the exact turns of the plot unresolved. It would be premature to treat trailer hints as confirmed outcomes for the characters.

The production’s creative handoff is its most unusual feature. Tarantino created Booth and writes his next chapter, but Fincher directs this instalment. The change creates a fresh interpretation of a familiar character, while the 1977 setting leaves the original film’s 1969 story behind. The official synopsis describes a move from Hollywood fantasy toward a crime narrative; how far that shift goes will become clear only when the finished film is seen.

For viewers deciding where to watch, the practical distinction is simple: the announced IMAX engagement starts November 25 for two weeks, and the streaming date is December 23. Local showtimes, availability and any change in the release plan should be checked nearer the dates.
