For weeks, fans have been squinting at blurry bootleg footage captured off living room TVs. The wait is finally over. High-quality stills from *The Adventures of Cliff Booth* — the Quentin Tarantino-scripted, David Fincher-directed Netflix event — have surfaced, and they reveal a film that looks *very* different from what came before.

## What Is The Adventures of Cliff Booth?

Quentin Tarantino originally penned the script as a continuation of Rick Dalton’s lethal best friend and stunt double from *Once Upon a Time in Hollywood*, before handing directorial duties to David Fincher (*Se7en*, *The Social Network*, *The Killer*) after Brad Pitt reportedly convinced Tarantino to pass the reins.

The film is reported to carry an estimated budget of around $200 million, with longstanding Fincher collaborator Kirk Baxter confirmed as editor.

## What Do the New Stills Reveal?

The high-quality stills — sourced via The Fincher Analyst — give a clear view of a gritty, neon-drenched alternate history of 1970s Los Angeles, considerably darker in tone than *Once Upon a Time in Hollywood*. Brad Pitt slides effortlessly back into Cliff Booth’s denim and aviators, while teaser footage features creatively animated censorship graphics hinting at the film’s exploitation-style, seedy Hollywood underbelly.

The teaser itself made its surprise debut during Super Bowl LX in February 2026, watched by around 120 million viewers — but Netflix chose not to release it officially online, leaving fans to analyse low-resolution recordings for weeks.
