David Fincher Cut 60 Pages of Tarantino’s ‘Cliff Booth’ Script: ‘The First Draft Was 230 Pages. It Was Essentially Two Movies’
World2 sources1 country🔦 Under-reported18m ago
Director David Fincher edited roughly 60 pages out of an initial 230-page screenplay written by Quentin Tarantino for the upcoming Netflix project "The Further Mis-Adventures of Cliff Booth." The follow-up to "Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood" stars Brad Pitt reprising his role as the title character.
Fincher noted that Tarantino's first draft was excessively long, describing it as essentially being the length of two movies, which necessitated the substantial cuts before moving forward with the production.
