Brad Pitt has ignited a wave of conversation after his recent appearance in character as Cliff Booth, the role he originally portrayed in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Fans caught their first look at Pitt on set in Los Angeles, where a distinctive wig quickly became the center of attention. The buzz centers around the actor’s new hairstyle for the sequel, which contrasts sharply with his previous natural look.
Mixed Fan Reactions to the New Cliff Booth Hairpiece
On set, Pitt was spotted wearing a blonde wig styled with longer, tousled locks, marking a departure from the shorter hair he had during recent events promoting his film F1. He was dressed in Cliff Booth’s trademark yellow Hawaiian shirt, blue jeans, and with a toothpick in his mouth, recreating the character’s iconic image. However, viewers were particularly focused on the noticeably different hairpiece.
Responses from fans ranged widely. Several were enthusiastic, sharing comments such as “Awesome!” and “Can’t wait….” Yet, others were less impressed, criticizing the wig’s appearance. One user wrote,
They need to fix his hair…
while another noted,
They used his real hair in the first movie, and this looks like a not-so-great wig.
Details on the Upcoming Sequel and Its Creative Team
The upcoming film, titled The Adventures of Cliff Booth, is set to be directed by acclaimed filmmaker David Fincher. Quentin Tarantino, who originally developed the character in the 2019 film, returns as the writer. This sequel is expected to delve deeper into Booth’s backstory, expanding on both the initial movie and Tarantino’s novelization of the story.
The project followed Tarantino’s decision to shelve another screenplay titled The Movie Critic, which also featured Booth and was set in the 1970s. Tarantino has made it clear he does not intend to direct any new films until his children are older, placing further work on this sequel in a state of development without a confirmed release date.
What the Sequel Means for Fans and Hollywood
The renewed focus on Brad Pitt’s Cliff Booth comes at a time when both fans and industry watchers are eager for more from Tarantino’s Hollywood universe. Despite divided opinions about the wig, the anticipation for The Adventures of Cliff Booth remains strong. The film promises to shed new light on a beloved character, potentially delivering fresh insights and expanding the original narrative. As production continues, audiences await further updates on when they will get to see the sequel in theaters.
