Production Momentum Grows Ahead of Summer Filming
The announcement of new cast members has generated increasing anticipation and suggests the project is moving closer to realization, particularly among followers of Quentin Tarantino and David Fincher. With production aiming for a possible start during the summer in California, the involvement of these key names strengthens the ensemble and adds to the buzz around the approaching project timeline.
Story Details Remain Secretive as Pre-Production Continues
Currently operating under the title The Continuing Adventures of Cliff Booth, the film remains in pre-production and its plot is largely under wraps. Despite this, some context regarding the sequel’s direction has been provided:
“This probably should not be thought of as a sequel. This should be thought of more of a follow-up that’s connected to but not the same as — the example that was cited to me was, think about how A Big Sleep, the Raymond Chandler adaptation starring Humphrey Bogart, is in the same world as Farewell, My Lovely, the 1975 Robert Mitchum movie, but it’s [a] different actor, different directors, different time in the storyline. They are different, they are not really sequels, they are the further adventures of [Cliff].”

It is confirmed that the story unfolds in 1977, around eight years after the events depicted in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. This situates Cliff Booth at a different point in his life, opening the door for fresh character exploration and narrative possibilities:
“The movie takes place in 1977, which is roughly eight years after Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, so a different time in Cliff’s life.”
