New Brad Pitt action and Cliff Booth story runtime
When the neon lights of Hollywood cast long shadows, trouble always follows. Now, less than a month away, the cinematic world is bracing for a thrilling return to the golden age of crime with The Further Mis-Adventures of Cliff Booth. This isn’t just another period piece; it’s a high-octane fusion, bringing the slick, stylish world of a classic crime novel into a new, tense cinematic landscape.
At the helm of this ambitious project is the notoriously brilliant David Fincher, partnering with the master scriptwriter Quentin Tarantino. This collaboration promises a unique cinematic experience, taking Brad Pitt’s legendary role as the smooth-as-silk stuntman Cliff Booth and launching him into a new chapter of chaos.
The film positions itself as a sequel to Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, offering a fresh take on the Los Angeles underworld. Instead of a leisurely hangout movie, Tarantino insists the film carries a different force. He envisions a story with the raw flavor of an Elmore Leonard paperback—a true crime-story paperback feel—suggesting a narrative driven by explosive action and moral ambiguity rather than simple dialogue.
The plot plunges the audience back into 1977, where Cliff Booth is once again the fixer, solving the unsolvable messes for Hollywood’s elite. As Booth navigates this dangerous landscape, he is drawn into a complex web of characters, including the glamorous talent agent Karen Crosby (played by Elizabeth Debicki), TV megastar Charlie Peters (Scott Caan), and mysterious gangsters like the Verdusco brothers, all adding layers of ambition, violence, and desire to the setting.
The narrative is a cocktail of blackmail, theft, extortion, and high-stakes drama, proving that even in the glittering world of Hollywood, problems persist. With an official runtime of 140 minutes, the film allows time to breathe while delivering a relentless pace.
Fincher streamlined the extensive script, pulling back the material to ensure a focused, powerful story. This cinematic exploration of ambition and mayhem is set to captivate audiences and remind them that even a fairytale can dissolve into a captivating crime story.
Prepare for The Further Mis-Adventures of Cliff Booth, set to hit IMAX theaters on November 25 before making its way to Netflix on December 23, 2026.
