What Is the Story About?
It has been eight years since the events of Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Cliff no longer works as a stuntman. He tends bar, works as a projectionist, and quietly fixes problems for Hollywood’s rich and famous, sometimes by less-than-legal means.
A call from talent agent Karen Crosby, acting for TV megastar Charlie Peters, pulls him into a web of money, ambition and violence. The official pitch puts it simply: the fairytale has turned into a crime story.

Trailer Highlights
The teaser runs on quick cuts and a Led Zeppelin needle-drop. It leans hard on Cliff’s reputation, with a nod to the Bruce Lee stuntman legend and a wink at his old boss Rick Dalton. The tension between Debicki’s and Pitt’s characters over a suspicious briefcase of cash also hints at where the plot is heading. The look is pure Fincher, moody and precise, with Tarantino’s punchy dialogue on top.
