David Fincher’s Once Upon A Time In Hollywood Spinoff Has Found Its First New Actors To Join Brad Pitt, And I’m Really Digging These Choices

Back in April, we heard Brad Pitt and David Fincher would be reuniting (have you heard of two little movies called Se7en and Fight Club) for a spinoff for Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon A Time… In Hollywood. Now it sounds like this exciting project is really coming to fruition as two exciting actors reportedly join.

Per The Hollywood Reporter, Scott Caan of the Hawaii Five-0 reboot series and Elizabeth Debicki from The Crown and Tenet are going to star alongside Brad Pitt‘s Cliff Booth in the upcoming movie. They are not at all who I would have expected in this movie, but that’s part of why I’m very much on board with the casting news.

Here’s a picture of Elizabeth Debicki above, and of course immediately I have to wonder if the actress will be playing Cliff Booth’s wife of not. As we learned in Once Upon A Time… In Hollywood, he had a wife named Billie who Booth is rumored to have shot with his speargun after she complained about the weather, and his boat, but we don’t have a lot of details about the story of the spinoff itself.

Debicki memorably played the Tenet character that received all sorts of backlash along with beautifully playing Diana, Princess of Wales in seasons 5 and 6 of The Crown. I could also see Debicki playing some sort of Hollywood starlet that Cliff Booth falls in love with after the death of his wife, and Rebecca Gayheart already played Billie before? It’s all just guesses at this point.

I can also totally see Scott Caan (in the above photo) playing another stuntman like Cliff is. Him and Brad Pitt could look alike too, so he could even be playing one of the other stuntmen that Cliff Booth allegedly murdered?
