David Fincher is set to direct a Netflix follow-up to Quentin Tarantino‘s acclaimed
“Once Upon A Time In Hollywood,”
with Elizabeth Debicki and Scott Caan joining Brad Pitt in the cast. This new project sees Fincher at the helm, exploring the story of Pitt’s character, Cliff Booth, with a screenplay written by Tarantino.
Major Updates on Cast Members and Creative Team
Following initial news from The Playlist about this unexpected collaboration between top filmmakers David Fincher and Quentin Tarantino, more details have emerged about the expanding cast. The Hollywood Reporter recently confirmed that British actress Elizabeth Debicki will appear alongside Brad Pitt in the film, aligning with earlier speculation shared by What’s On Netflix. Debicki has established herself in both film and television, with varied roles in Steve McQueen’s “Widows,” Christopher Nolan‘s “Tenet,” “Guardians of The Galaxy Vol.2,” “The Crown,” “The Cloverfield Paradox,” and Guy Ritchie’s “The Man From U.N.C.L.E.”
Scott Caan is also joining the project, adding further interest to the ensemble. Caan, who once worked as a roadie for the West Coast group Cypress Hill before starting The Whooliganz rap act, eventually shifted to acting. He followed his father, the late James Caan, into the film world, taking on comedic roles such as in Steven Soderbergh‘s “Ocean’s” movies with Brad Pitt, and also appearing in films like “Boiler Room,” “Gone In 60 Seconds,” and Tony Scott’s “Enemy of The State.”
Tarantino’s Shift to Screenwriting Collaboration
This upcoming Netflix movie marks an intriguing phase for Quentin Tarantino, who has long signaled his intention to conclude his directorial career after ten films. By penning the script for Fincher instead of directing, Tarantino continues his legacy of writing for other filmmakers, reminiscent of his earlier work on “True Romance,” “From Dusk Till Dawn” (cowritten with Robert Rodriguez), and “Natural Born Killers.” Such collaborations have defined portions of Tarantino’s career and suggest he may increasingly focus on screenwriting projects for others.
Further Casting Prospects and Emerging Details
There is also ongoing speculation regarding Aldis Hodge, recognized for “Straight Outta Compton” and “Cross.” What’s On Netflix suggested Hodge could portray
“

However, his involvement has not been officially confirmed through industry reports, indicating fans may have to wait for more updates regarding his role in the production.
Expectations remain high that multiple roles will be announced as the narrative expands the story of

Once Upon A Time In Hollywood
.”
This will allow room for new and returning characters, and further news on casting is anticipated soon.
