This could well be titled “The news that nobody was waiting for.” It is being announced that Netflix is preparing a sequel to Once Upon a Time in Hollywood of Quentin Tarantinocon David Fincherno Tarantino, as director.
Brad Pitt It will resume its role as twice the Risk Booth. The return of Leonardo DiCaprio It is not yet insured, according to THR reports.
The script was written by Tarantino, who decided that he would not direct it, Pitt liked the script so much that he decided to take him to Fincher, who has an exclusive agreement with Netflix.
In his association with streamer, Fincher has made films such as Want y The Killerand TV series as House of Cards, Mindhunter, Love, Death + Robots. Sometimes, Fincher is criticized that his feature films with Netflix have no premiere in cinemas, and that he does not seem to have an interest in it, as well as that he has become a streaming director rather than the big screen.
The interest in the project is such that it is thinking about Start production at the end of summer.
The novelties are surprising at all levels. First, because nobody thought that Once upon a time in Hollywood It would have a sequel or that the story gave material for more, which would not be directed by Tarantino, that it would end up being a streaming launch not from a study –Well, Tarantino is not a fan of the streamers– and that would place Fincher behind the lens.
At the beginning it cost a lot to understand if it was a real news or not, since it was revealed during the night of April 1, which in the United States is known as April Fools Day or the day of the innocent, and usually, the novelties of the day are usually a joke. But this is not.
Important clarify that This project is not about The Movie Criticwhich had been announced as the tenth and last film by Tarantino. That project was discarded by the filmmaker some time ago.
As for the new installment of Ouatihit would mark a new collaboration between Fincher and Pitt. The actor has placed under the orders of Fincher in Se7en, Fight Cluby The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.
The legal reasons why the newly announced could not be considered a sequel to ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD
The source clarifies that it is not a direct sequel but some type of “spinoff” inspired by it. What is this?
Sony Pictures financed and distributed Once Upon a Time in Hollywood In 2019, a study with which Tarantino has a unique agreement that gives him a property participation in the film, which increases every year for 20 years, when the film is once again.
Another characteristic of the agreement is that The filmmaker is the owner of the characters in that movie (and the characters of the other films under the studio seal), while Sony retains the rights of Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. This probably means that the newly announced project could not carry that title as part of theirs.
THR explains that That is the reason why the Fincher project is not considered a sequel or prequelunless he uses Booth (Pitt) as a character.
The DiCaprio participation remains a question sign. The actor is negotiating the leading role of Evel Knievel's biopic in Paramount Pictures, and another project with Martin Scorsese.
