David Fincher Cut 60 Pages of Tarantino’s ‘Cliff Booth’ Script: ‘The First Draft Was 230 Pages. It Was Essentially Two Movies’

David Fincher removed approximately 60 pages from Quentin Tarantino's original screenplay for The Further Mis-Adventures of Cliff Booth, the sequel to Once Upon a Time in Hollywood starring Brad Pitt. Fincher told Empire that the initial 230-page draft felt like two separate movies. In a joint interview, Tarantino further clarified that he does not view the upcoming project as a hangout movie, distinguishing the direction of the follow-up from the previous film's established narrative style.
