Brad Pitt is reviving his iconic character, Cliff Booth, in his upcoming film, The Further Mis-Adventures of Cliff Booth.

The 2019 film, which starred Leonardo DiCaprio and the F1 star, has been renewed for a sequel by none other than David Fincher.

On Tuesday, September 22, the new trailer was released, highlighting Brad Pitt’s return as Cliff Booth in 1977 Los Angeles.

After Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, Cliff has left stunt work behind to work as a Hollywood studio fixer, while also taking on odd jobs such as serving drinks and working as a projectionist.

However, this time, Leonardo DiCaprio was noticeably absent from the new instalment.

The footage highlights a gritty 1977 setting where the movie industry looks very different from the 1969 era.

After the new trailer was released, several fans began flooding the comments section, expressing their disappointment over the new sequel.

One critic complained about the film’s dark visual style, stating, “Why is it so fucking dark? It’s supposed to be a fun story and not Zodiac or Mindhunter. Even Gone Girl’s cinematography looked more lively than this. Why does ADVENTURES of Cliff Booth have cinematography of Obsession?”

Another argued, “Please, Fincher, hire a gaffer to crank up the light level and hire a DOP that’s not colour blind.”

While a third said, “Look ik it’s #DavidFincher, but they have GOT TO increase the brightness here. Like, this is too far. I literally cannot see anything. #BradPitt #CliffBooth #Netflix.”

So far, neither Brad Pitt nor the team behind The Further Mis-Adventure of Cliff Booth has spoken about the film.

The movie is set to be released in theatres on November 25, 2026, followed by its streaming release on Netflix on December 23, 2026.
