Quentin Tarantino’s Biggest Movie Officially Has a New Home Ahead of Sequel
Quentin Tarantino's acclaimed 2019 film "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" has begun streaming on Prime Video, offering viewers a chance to catch up on the director's most recent work before an upcoming sequel. The timing is significant as Brad Pitt's character Cliff Booth is set to return in "The Further Mis-Adventures of Cliff Booth," a new film coming to Netflix later this year that will expand on the original story.
The sequel, written by Tarantino but directed by David Fincher rather than Tarantino himself, is set in 1977—eight years after the original film's 1969 Los Angeles setting. Whilst Brad Pitt reprises his role, Leonardo DiCaprio will not return as Rick Dalton, the character he played alongside Pitt in the original. The new film will feature an ensemble cast including Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Peter Weller, Elizabeth Debicki, and others, though plot details remain undisclosed.
In short
- "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" now streams on Prime Video ahead of sequel
