Netflix is reportedly considering giving "The Adventures of Cliff Booth" a cinematic release. According to , the streamer is planning a larger theatrical release schedule for some of its biggest upcoming films, which could potentially include the Brad Pitt-starring comedy/drama. The outlet claims Netflix is looking at a “robust rollout” for "The Adventures of Cliff Booth," with a possible summer 2026 release on the table."The Adventures of Cliff Booth" will center on Pitt’s titular stuntman following his introduction in director Quentin Tarantino’s 2019 film "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood." Although Tarantino, 62, wrote "The Adventures of Cliff Booth," he passed directing duties to David Fincher after finding he was “unenthused” about helming the flick. Speaking on podcast, the "Pulp Fiction" filmmaker said, “I love this script, but I’m still walking down the same ground I’ve already walked. It just kind of unenthused me. This last movie, I’ve got to not know what I’m doing again. I’ve got to be in uncharted territory.” Even so, Tarantino insisted Fincher was the perfect pick to direct the much-anticipated sequel. He added, “I think me and David Fincher are the two best directors. So the idea that David Fincher actually wants to adapt my work, to me, shows a level of seriousness towards my work that I think needs to be taken into account.” The "Django Unchained" filmmaker had also said he wouldn’t be surprised if Netflix chose to give "The Adventures of Cliff Booth" a theatrical release. He explained, “It’s not their business model. So I don’t hold a company, I don’t hold it against the company for not following what’s not their business model. You can decree that it’s not their business model, but it is just what it is. I wouldn’t be surprised if they came out with a two-week release of it, at least limited to some degree." He continued, “And then I think at least as far as the big cities are concerned, they’ll probably have screenings that they’re probably gonna want it to do good in Oscars. So, there’ll be screenings for it around town and everything. Yeah, I could decry that, I could complain about that. I could go, isn’t it a shame?” "The Adventures of Cliff Booth" will be a reunion between Pitt and Fincher, who previously collaborated on "Se7en," "Fight Club" and "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button." "The Adventures of Cliff Booth" will also star Elizabeth Debicki, Carla Gugino, Scott Caan and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II.
