Carla Gugino has signed on to star alongside Brad Pitt and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II in The Adventures of Cliff Booth, an upcoming Netflix feature directed by David Fincher. The film, written by Quentin Tarantino, expands on the world of one of his most memorable characters from Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Production is expected to begin later this year.

Details about the plot and Gugino’s role remain under wraps, however sources suggest the film will follow Pitt’s Cliff Booth, now working as a Hollywood fixer, in the years after the events of Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Having won an Oscar for his portrayal of Booth, Pitt reunites with Tarantino’s vision, though it’s unclear how much of the director’s scrapped project The Movie Critic has influenced this new story.

Gugino, known for roles in Gerald’s Game, Watchmen, and San Andreas, has kept busy across film and television. She recently earned acclaim for her performance in Netflix’s The Fall of the House of Usher and will soon appear in Amazon’s Heads of State alongside Idris Elba and John Cena.

The cast also includes Elizabeth Debicki and Scott Caan. Mateen, meanwhile, continues to build up his filmography with upcoming roles in Marvel’s Wonder Man, Netflix’s Man on Fire, and By Any Means with Mark Wahlberg.
