Netflix has unveiled the second trailer and key visual for the film 'The Continuing Adventures of Cliff Booth' starring Brad Pitt in the lead role. The IMAX release is scheduled for 25 November 2026, and the film will arrive on the streaming service on 23 December.
The action unfolds in 1977 in Los Angeles — eight years after the events of 'Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.' Former stuntman Cliff Booth now works as a "fixer" for the Hollywood elite: solving problems that require his particular skills. The world has changed, and the legendary hero of 1969 has found himself on the margins of the industry.
This is not merely a thriller or a crime drama — it is a neo-noir with elements of black humor and the tense atmosphere of the 1970s. Dive bars, tennis courts, gangsters and stars who do their own stunts. The central tension is Cliff's struggle for a place in the new Hollywood and, perhaps, for his own past. The viewer feels a mixture of nostalgia, danger and weariness: a stylish but grim world where every conversation can end in violence.
A specific detail from the trailer: Cliff presses a bag of frozen peas to a wound in a freezer — a direct echo of the events of the first film.
The film matters not only in itself: it is a rare case where Quentin Tarantino wrote the screenplay and David Fincher took on the directing duties. Netflix is for the first time giving one of its films a two-week exclusive IMAX release worldwide.
In the trailer, Pitt delivers a line about how he "knows how to kill a man with a knife," and also jokes about his former partner Rick Dalton, who has "gotten too fat." The cast includes Elizabeth Debicki, Scott Caan, Carla Gugino and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II. Running time — 2 hours 23 minutes.
The film will be perfect for fans of 'Once Upon a Time in Hollywood' who want to see how Cliff has changed, and for admirers of Fincher's precise, atmospheric cinema. Those expecting pure Tarantino madness or light action should wait for reviews after the premiere.
The Los Angeles premiere is scheduled for 16 November. Already the second trailer has racked up millions of views, and the key visual emphasizes the hero's changed appearance — with a mustache and looking more battered.
