Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross have been confirmed to compose the score for David Fincher's highly anticipated film, 'The Further Mis-Adventures of Cliff Booth'. 123 This marks another collaboration between the celebrated composer pair and the renowned director, following their successful partnership on films such as 'The Social Network', 'The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo', and 'Gone Girl'. 13

The film, reportedly a spin-off from the 2019 hit 'Once Upon a Time in Hollywood', is set to delve into the life of Brad Pitt's character, Cliff Booth, eight years after the events depicted in the original film. 12 According to several outlets, the new movie will take place in 1977, continuing the rich tapestry of cinematic history that Tarantino has woven with his previous works. 2

David Fincher, known for his meticulous direction and visual storytelling, will helm the project, bringing his signature style to the screen once again. 23 The film is scheduled to make its debut in IMAX theaters before becoming available for streaming on Netflix on December 23, 2026. 123 Additionally, Quentin Tarantino, the writer of the original film, has announced plans to release a novelization of 'The Further Mis-Adventures of Cliff Booth' on December 8, 2026, offering fans an even deeper dive into the world he created. 2

Reznor and Ross's involvement with Fincher dates back to their work on 'The Social Network' in 2010, where they earned an Academy Award for Best Original Score. 13 Since then, they have continued to collaborate, winning a Grammy for their score for 'The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo' in 2013. 1
