Fincher & Pitt Reunite for New Netflix Thriller
Fincher and Pitt Reunite for Secret Netflix Thriller
David Fincher and Brad Pitt are set to reunite for a new Netflix thriller, marking their fourth collaboration. The film, currently shrouded in secrecy, is described as a sequel to an unspecified film Fincher did not direct. Details about the plot and other cast members remain undisclosed, though sources suggest it's a larger story than simply the reunion of the acclaimed director and actor.
Pitt has reportedly already signed on for the project, which is expected to be Fincher's next film. This collaboration will supersede Fincher's other projects, including his planned western, "Bitterroot," which has been put on hold. The director's other commitments, such as his Netflix series adaptation of "Squid Game" and a "Chinatown" prequel series, are also likely to be affected by the new film's production schedule. Rumors of Leonardo DiCaprio's involvement in the series adaptation of "Squid Game" have been debunked.
Fincher's multi-year deal with Netflix includes at least four projects in various stages of development, and the new thriller is expected to be part of this agreement. The streamer recently released Fincher's "Mank" (2020) and "The Killer" (2023). "The Killer," however, did not feature Pitt, who reportedly turned down the role. The three previous collaborations between Fincher and Pitt include "Se7en" (1995), "Fight Club" (1999), and "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" (2008).
While the plot of the new film remains under wraps, speculation indicates that it may be a sequel to Quentin Tarantino's "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood," with Tarantino having written the screenplay. Sources suggest Netflix may have paid over $20 million for the script, and the project is reportedly fast-tracked for a July shoot in California with a budget around $200 million. Margot Robbie has expressed interest in participating if needed. The possibility of Leonardo DiCaprio reprising his role from "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" remains uncertain. It appears that the new project will focus on Cliff Booth, but further plot details are unknown. The official title of the film has not yet been revealed. Tarantino's involvement suggests a departure from his usual practice of directing his own screenplays.
