Brad Pitt’s compensation for starring in and producing the upcoming Netflix movie, The Adventures of Cliff Booth, has been revealed. Pitt will receive a substantial $40 million for his work on the project.

Massive Payday for Pitt

This deal represents one of the largest paydays of Pitt’s career. He is reportedly earning over $20 million for a “one-picture license” to produce the film based on his own script.

Project Details and Budget

The Adventures of Cliff Booth is not a direct sequel to Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Instead, the story jumps forward to the 1970s, focusing on Cliff Booth’s life after his time as Rick Dalton’s stuntman.

High-Profile Cast and Crew

The film boasts a notable cast alongside Brad Pitt, including Elizabeth Debicki, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Carla Gugino, Timothy Olyphant, JB Tadena, Corey Fogelmanis, Karren Karagulian, and Scott Caan. With Pitt, David Fincher, and Quentin Tarantino all commanding significant fees, the film’s budget is estimated to be around $200 million.

Release Date

The Adventures of Cliff Booth is currently scheduled for an August 2026 release on Netflix. Quentin Tarantino notably retains ownership of his projects, adding to the film’s prestige.
