Cliff Booth was never exactly the sort of fellow who needed an invitation to find trouble, which is precisely why fans were delighted to hear that Brad Pitt’s Oscar-winning stuntman was getting another outing. The prospect became considerably more irresistible when David Fincher joined the party to direct Quentin Tarantino’s screenplay. Set in 1977 Los Angeles, the sequel finds Cliff swapping stunt doubles for the rather less respectable business of fixing Hollywood's problems.

Now, Netflix has given fans another reason to raise a glass with the latest and second trailer for The Further Mis-Adventures of Cliff Booth. The excitement is no longer just about seeing Pitt reprise his effortlessly cool troublemaker. Fincher directing Tarantino's words while Pitt brings Cliff back to life is the kind of creative collaboration that practically sells itself. The trailer itself has sold Brad Pitt's performance to the audience, it seems.

And what is Cliff up to this time? Well, retirement clearly did not agree with him. The 1977-set adventure finds the former stuntman knee-deep in the sort of assignments that involve blackmail, theft and extortion. It turns out that being Hollywood's favorite fixer comes with rather more occupational hazards than doubling for an overweight movie star.

The trailer introduces Scott Caan's television star Charlie Peters, whose request for help sends Cliff into a particularly unsavory corner of show business. And for anyone wondering whether Cliff's legendary Bruce Lee encounter has been forgotten, the preview suggests that some stories simply refuse to die.

With fans already insisting Brad Pitt deserves every one of the 500 IMAX screens reportedly reserved for Cliff Booth, their reactions to the latest trailer are quite the spectacle themselves.

A David Fincher-Brad Pitt reunion was always going to attract attention, but adding Quentin Tarantino’s dialogue to the equation has sent expectations rather delightfully through the roof. Fincher is hardly known for letting a scene go after one take, making Pitt’s performance all the more impressive given the director’s obsessive precision and psychological command of the frame, and that is all the internet is talking about.

"fincher shooting tarantino dialogue means fifty takes of a ten minute conversation. pitt earned every imax inch," one netizen observed.

"Now this is the trailer to get you excited for the movie," another declared.

"Cliff Booth is such a fun character to revisit. David Fincher directing his next chapter makes this even more exciting," a fan shared.

"David Fincher directing a spin-off about Cliff Booth from Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is a cinematic cross-over nobody saw coming," another remarked.

"Cliff Booth beat up Bruce Lee and now he gets Fincher and IMAX. The rest of cinema is just playing for second place at this point," one user quipped.

The trailer has also found admirers in its visual details, particularly the cooler blue tones that distinguish this chapter from the sun-soaked warmth of its predecessor.

"Love how the cooler blues break up all those warm tones," one viewer pointed out.

And according to fans, it is a fitting change of scenery for Cliff Booth, a character whose easygoing manner has always concealed a rather extraordinary talent for getting into trouble. Between the unexpected directorial pairing and Pitt’s endlessly watchable stuntman-turned-fixer, Hollywood could hardly have picked a more entertaining character to revisit.
