David Fincher cut roughly 60 pages from Quentin Tarantino‘s original screenplay for “The Further Mis-Adventures of Cliff Booth,” the upcoming “Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood” follow-up starring Brad Pitt.

“The first draft I read was 230 pages. It was essentially two movies,” Fincher told Empire in a new joint interview with Tarantino. The film, which sees Pitt reprise his Oscar-winning role as Hollywood stuntman Cliff Booth, ultimately came in at approximately two hours and 20 minutes.
