Tarantino is writing the script, but hes handing directing duties over to Fincher.

The project is well past its early development stages, with filming set to begin in summer 2025.

Its certainly an exciting prospect.

Pitt was set to reprise his role as Cliff and production was set to begin in early 2025.

In April 2024, it was reported thatTarantino had completely scrappedThe Movie Critic.

But Im still dubious that Fincher can pull off a sequel toOnce Upon a Time in Hollywood.

Theres some bleak humor in Fight Club and The Killer, but Fincher has never made a full-blown comedy.

I dont think he has the right sensibility for a sun-soaked hangout movie.

When he madeOnce Upon a Time in Hollywood, Tarantino allowed his actors to make the characters their own.

Fincher is notorious for controlling his actors and doing dozens of takes until a shot is absolutely perfect.

That kind of approach wont be able to replicate what madeOnce Upon a Time in Hollywoodwork.
