Brad Pitt’s Return as Cliff Booth in Netflix Trailer: A Common Complaint
Netflix has finally released the long-awaited trailer for The Further Mis-Adventures of Cliff Booth, and many social media users are making the same complaint about the murky footage.
The Film
The film, directed by David Fincher from a script by Quentin Tarantino, sees Brad Pitt reprise his Oscar-winning role as stuntman Cliff Booth from 2019’s Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood. It will be released November 25 in IMAX, before arriving on the streaming service December 23.
Fan Disappointment
Set in 1977, eight years after the events of the first movie, the sequel follows Pitt's character as he works as a Hollywood fixer. However, fans are already disappointed, criticizing the trailer footage for its appearance.
“They f*ed up using dark tinted camera effect. Not sure why they keep doing this,” one fan wrote on X.
Another user sarcastically commented: “I was still able to see something. Please work on the grading and make it darker before it releases.”
Someone else posted a meme from the original movie, claiming that the new trailer could be summed up by a line uttered by Bruce Dern as George Spahn: “Can’t see s**.”*
“Please Fincher, hire a gaffer to crank up the light level and hire a [Director of Photography] that's not color blind,” another suggested.
