\n\tAlthough Brad Pitt<\/a> is bringing back Cliff Booth for a sequel to Once Upon a Time\u2026 in Hollywood<\/a>, Quentin Tarantino<\/a> is sitting this one out as director.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn addition to not wanting his final film to be a sequel, the 2x Oscar winner explained why he chose not to helm The Adventures of Cliff Booth<\/a>, passing the baton and his script on to fellow director David Fincher.<\/a><\/p>\n

\n\tI\u201d love this script, but I\u2019m still walking down the same ground I\u2019ve already walked,\u201d he said on The Church of Tarantino<\/a> podcast. \u201cIt just kind of unenthused me. This last movie, I\u2019ve got to not know what I\u2019m doing again. I\u2019ve got to be in uncharted territory.<\/p>\n

\n\tTarantino added, \u201cI think me and David Fincher are the two best directors. So the idea that David Fincher actually wants to adapt my work, to me, shows a level of seriousness towards my work that I think needs to be taken into account.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tAfter Deadline reported in April that Pitt and Se7en director Fincher got Tarantino\u2019s approval<\/a> to use his script to make the sequel, which was originally set to be his final directorial outing, the cast has since added Pitt, Carla Gugino<\/a>, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II<\/a>, Elizabeth Debicki, Scott Caan, Corey Fogelmanis<\/a> and JB Tadena<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe movie is believed to have scored a $20 million California film-tax credit<\/a>, and Pitt told Deadline filming would begin in July<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn the same podcast, Tarantino also explained why he chose not to make The Movie Critic<\/a> his 10th and final film. \u201cThere was a challenge that I gave to myself when I did it. Can I take the most boring profession in the world and make it an interesting movie?\u201d he said. \u201cEvery Tarantino title promises so much, except The Movie Critic.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tMeanwhile, Tarantino is taking a break from filmmaking as he turns to theater, after telling Deadline he\u2019s \u201creally juiced about live theater<\/a> right now\u201d at Sundance in January.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Although Brad Pitt is bringing back Cliff Booth for a sequel to Once Upon a Time\u2026 in Hollywood,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":88153,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[49932,88,60509,59523,59524],"class_list":["post-88152","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-david-fincher","tag-entertainment","tag-once-upon-a-time-in-hollywood","tag-quentin-tarantino","tag-the-adventures-of-cliff-booth"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/88152","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=88152"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/88152\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/88153"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=88152"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=88152"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=88152"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
