Carla Gugino Teams Up with Brad Pitt for David Fincher’s Netflix Thriller

A new Netflix movie, The Adventures of Cliff Booth, is set to feature Carla Gugino alongside Brad Pitt, with David Fincher directing. Sources report the film, written by Quentin Tarantino, will also star Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Elizabeth Debicki, and Scott Caan. Neither Netflix nor Gugino’s representatives have confirmed the casting officially.

The movie centers on Cliff Booth, a character Pitt portrayed in Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, earning him an Academy Award. In this story, Booth operates as a fixer in Hollywood’s underbelly. Details about Gugino’s role remain undisclosed. Filming is slated to begin later this year.

Gugino has been active across film and television. She recently starred in The Friend with Naomi Watts and Bill Murray and will appear in Amazon Studios’ action-comedy Heads of State, alongside Idris Elba and John Cena. On TV, she earned a Critics Choice Award nomination for her performance in Netflix’s The Fall of the House of Usher.

Her past TV roles include The Haunting of Hill House on Netflix, Jett, The Girls on the Bus on HBO Max, and Leopard Skin on Peacock. Her film credits include Spy Kids, Watchmen, San Andreas, Gerald’s Game, Gunpowder Milkshake, and American Gangster. She is represented by Untitled Entertainment and Gersh.

Carla Gugino’s addition to The Adventures of Cliff Booth is exciting news for fans of Tarantino’s universe and Fincher’s meticulous directing. Her versatility across genres, from horror to action, makes her a perfect fit for this high-profile project. I’m curious to see how she’ll bring depth to this Hollywood fixer story.
