Netflix has unveiled the trailer for «The Further Mis-Adventures of Cliff Booth» — a spin-off of Quentin Tarantino’s cult film «Once Upon a Time in Hollywood». Brad Pitt reprises his leading role, while David Fincher directs the film. Tarantino himself serves as both screenwriter and producer this time around.

The new movie continues the story of Cliff Booth — a former stuntman and longtime friend of actor Rick Dalton.

The story is set in 1977, eight years after the events of «Once Upon a Time in Hollywood». Cliff has left his career as a stuntman behind, lives in Los Angeles and now works as a bartender. In his spare time, however, he helps people in the film industry deal with delicate situations.

Cliff is approached by television star Charlie Peters, played by Scott Caan, together with his agent Karen, portrayed by Elizabeth Debicki. The former stuntman is once again drawn into the world of show business as he sets out to solve a problem involving his acquaintances.

Brad Pitt is not the only cast member returning to his role. Timothy Olyphant reprises his part as actor James Stacy, a character from the original film. The new movie also features Carla Gugino, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Peter Weller and other actors.

As a reminder, Brad Pitt won the «Oscar» in 2020 for his performance as Cliff Booth in «Once Upon a Time in Hollywood».

«The Further Mis-Adventures of Cliff Booth» premieres on Netflix on December 23.

Hollywood actress Jennifer Lawrence has revealed for the first time that she auditioned for a role in Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. According to the star, she was among the contenders for the role of Sharon Tate, but ultimately was not cast – allegedly because of her appearance.

The 35-year-old Oscar winner recalled the experience during an episode of the Happy Sad Confused with Josh Horowitz podcast. Lawrence said that once rumors about her possible involvement in the project began circulating, social media erupted with criticism.

«Well, he wanted to consider me for the role, but everyone was like, «She’s not beautiful enough to play Sharon Tate». After that, they dropped me», Lawrence said. «I’m almost certain that’s how it happened – or he never seriously considered me at all, and the internet just went out of its way to call me ugly», she added.

In the end, the role of Sharon Tate went to Margot Robbie. Her casting was supported by Debra Tate, the sister of the late actress. Even before the film’s premiere, Debra publicly explained her choice, stating that Robbie more closely matched Sharon Tate’s image in terms of physical appearance.

Lawrence also noted that similar situations had occurred more than once throughout her career. She recalled auditioning for Twilight as well, but not landing a role there either. «Apparently, I wasn’t beautiful enough then either», she joked.
