Brad Pitt is officially back in the yellow shirt — and Cliff Booth is officially back in business.
Production has begun on The Continuing Adventures of Cliff Booth, the long-rumored Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood spinoff directed by David Fincher and written by Quentin Tarantino. After years of skepticism — not helped by the film’s initial April Fool’s Day leak — the cameras are now rolling across Los Angeles, with Pitt reprising his role as the laid-back stuntman-turned-Hollywood fixer.
Multiple sources confirm the shoot is taking place at various locations around L.A., including downtown, with production offices and stage work at RSH Studios(formerly Red Studios Hollywood).
The project, cloaked in secrecy since its announcement, is being framed as a spiritual continuation of Tarantino’s 2019 love letter to old Hollywood. While Once Upon a Time… centered on fading star Rick Dalton (Leonardo DiCaprio), the Fincher-directed follow-up fast-forwards eight years and finds Cliff Booth navigating the darker underbelly of the entertainment industry as a so-called “fixer.” Think less driving around town, more cleaning up messes behind studio gates.
Joining Pitt is an ensemble cast that includes Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Elizabeth Debicki, Carla Gugino, Scott Caan, and JB Tadena. No word yet on whether DiCaprio will reprise his role as Dalton, but sources say the door remains open for a cameo — one that fans are hoping will tie both chapters together.
Set photos released on social media over the weekend show Pitt in full Booth regalia: patterned yellow shirt, aviators, mustache, and what appears to be slightly longer hair. He’s also sporting a lollipop — a detail that feels both oddly specific and perfectly Cliff. Observers note that while his wardrobe echoes the original, his demeanor suggests something more rigid, more haunted — a man who’s lived a few lives since 1969.RSH S
