Script by Tarantino, directed by David Fincher. With Brad Pitt, Elizabeth Debicki, Scott Caan.
[quote]Much of the project is shrouded in secrecy, but it is known to center on Cliff Booth, the former stuntman and body double to TV actor Rick Dalton, as seen in Tarantino’s 2019 film. It is set in a later time period than that movie. It is unclear how much of the material, if any, is based on Tarantino’s 2021 novel by the same name and which revealed more of Cliff’s backstory, including the death of his wife.
[quote]The story’s origins lie in a script that Tarantino wrote for himself to direct, but eventually put it aside. Pitt convinced the filmmaker to let Fincher take a stab at directing it, setting it up earlier this spring. “This film is more secretive than Star Wars,” said one source.
