In case you’re wondering how much it cost Netflix to nab the script for Quentin Tarantino’s “The Adventures of Cliff Booth,” TheInSneider is reporting that the streamer gave QT a cool $20M for his words. David Fincher will be directing, and Brad Pitt is set to star. Still no word yet on whether Leonardo DiCaprio, who was offered $3M for a cameo role, will take part.
Although Tarantino, known for his distinctive writing style, penned the script, he chose not to direct this installment. Instead, he entrusted the project to Fincher, who is known for his precise and atmospheric filmmaking.
Pitt played a pivotal role in this collaboration. Impressed by aspects of Tarantino's script, Pitt suggested that someone else direct it, leading to Fincher's involvement. Tarantino, while usually directing his scripts, has in the past written for films directed by others, such as “True Romance” and “From Dusk till Dawn.” It surely helped that Tarantino was a big fan of Fincher’s last film, “The Killer,” which a source tells me, he believes to be a masterpiece.
