Tarantino writes Cliff Booth spin-off with Fincher directing

David Fincher directs a comedy-thriller Tarantino wrote about Brad Pitt's Once Upon a Time in Hollywood character.

Quentin Tarantino wrote a spin-off about Cliff Booth, the laidback stuntman Brad Pitt played in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. David Fincher directs it, the first time Tarantino has let another director handle his script since From Dusk Till Dawn in 1996.

The film is set in 1977. Cliff Booth works to clean up Hollywood's messes.

Cliff Booth's latest clients include a talent agent and a TV actor mixed up with gangsters. The official synopsis calls it a crime story: "a cocktail of violence, ambition, and desire that could only happen in LA".

The film releases on 25 November in the UK, US and Canada.
