The Further Mis-Adventures Of Cliff Booth | Netflix announces film title after months of weird coyness
David Fincher’s new film, written by Quentin Tarantino, is called The Further Mis-Adventures Of Cliff Booth, Netflix has finally announced.
Update: Netflix has finally, formally announced the name for its upcoming Cliff Booth movie – essentially, a sequel to Once Upon A Time In Hollywood, with a script by Quentin Tarantino and direction courtesy of David Fincher.
It’s called The Further Mis-Adventures Of Cliff Booth. Which is pretty close to The Adventures Of Cliff Booth, the title doing the rounds for at least a year or so.
For some reason, Netflix went all vague and coy there for a while, referring to it in previous press releases as “the movie”, “the film”, and “David Fincher’s newest film” (see below).
Presumably, there’d been a bit of back-and-forth at the studio over what exactly it should be called – and now they’ve arrived back where they started, with a title slightly longer than before. We suspect most will just call it Cliff Booth in any case. People are into that whole brevity thing.
David Fincher’s Newest Film will debut in IMAX cinemas on the 25th November before streaming on Netflix from the 23rd December.
Our original story follows…
21st May 2026: Is The Adventures Of Cliff Booth getting a title change? A press release sent to us from Netflix certainly gives us that suspicion – but more on that in one second.
First, good news for those who like their movies on unfeasibly large screens: David Fincher’s new film, starring Brad Pitt and with a script by Quentin Tarantino, is getting a two-week run in IMAX cinemas.
It’ll debut on the 25th November before it starts streaming on Netflix from the 23rd December. A bit of Fincher for Christmas!
This is the long-trailed sequel to Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon A Time In Hollywood, with Pitt reprising his role as the stuntman who may or may not have murdered his own wife. The sequel, written by Tarantino, moves forward in time to 1977 and a “very different Hollywood,” per Netflix’s logline. Booth is now a ‘fixer’, whose job is to keep Hollywood stars’ salacious antics out of the newspapers – a gig that leaves the anti-hero with a foot in both the glamorous and unseemly sides of Los Angeles. His old chum Rick Dalton is nowhere to be seen.
For several months, the title bandied about was The Adventures Of Cliff Booth. But now Netflix’s promotion has us thinking it hasn’t settled on a name at all – or is keeping it quiet for some reason.
The above-mentioned press release is written in a way that specifically avoids dropping the title. In both the subject and the headline, it’s billed as “David Fincher’s newest film.”
On Netflix’s own Tudum site, it’s described as “the film” and “the movie.”
And, having looked at it again with a bit more scrutiny, the one-minute teaser, which aired in February, doesn’t mention the film by name. It’s simply been titled The Adventures Of Cliff Booth by the various outlets that have recorded and uploaded it (the ad first appeared during the Superbowl).
So what gives? Is there a reason to be so coy about the title? It certainly makes the movie hard to promote. Or maybe its title is actually David Fincher’s Newest Film. We should probably go with that for now.
David Fincher’s Newest Film co-stars Elizabeth Debicki, Scott Caan, Carla Gugino, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Peter Weller, Matt Groove, JB Tadena, Corey Fogelmanis and Karren Karagulian.
It’ll debut in IMAX cinemas on the 25th November before appearing on Netflix from the 23rd December.
We’ll bring you more on its mysterious title as we get it.
