Los Angles – July 31, 2025 – 

The world of Hollywood is abuzz with exciting news for fans of established franchises, with two major sequel announcements breaking cover. Brad Pitt is set to reprise his Oscar-winning role as stuntman Cliff Booth in a new film, while the beloved “Meet the Parents” series is officially extending its comedic legacy with a fourth installment, “Focker in Law.”

“The Adventures of Cliff Booth” Set to Unfold

Brad Pitt will once again step into the shoes of the laconic and effortlessly cool Cliff Booth, a character first introduced in Quentin Tarantino’s 2019 acclaimed film, “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.” The new film, reportedly titled “The Adventures of Cliff Booth,” will explore Booth’s life approximately eight years after the events of the original movie, placing him in the 1970s.

While the script for “The Adventures of Cliff Booth” was penned by Quentin Tarantino, the directorial reins have been handed over to acclaimed filmmaker David Fincher, known for his meticulous storytelling in films like “Se7en” and “Fight Club” (which also starred Pitt). This collaboration marks a highly anticipated reunion for Pitt and Fincher, promising a fresh perspective on the character.

Set photos have already emerged from the Los Angeles production, showing Pitt sporting a slightly different hairstyle and vintage 70s attire, hinting at the new era for Booth. While specific plot details are being kept under wraps, reports suggest the film will delve into Booth’s life as a “Hollywood studio fixer.” The cast also reportedly includes new faces such as Corey Fogelmanis and Karren Karagulian, alongside established actors like Elizabeth Debicki, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Scott Caan, and Carla Gugino. “The Adventures of Cliff Booth” is slated for release on Netflix, though an official release date has not yet been announced.

The Fockers Are Back: “Focker in Law” Confirmed

Get ready for more familial chaos and comedic misunderstandings as Universal Pictures has officially announced “Focker in Law,” the fourth installment in the hugely popular “Meet the Parents” franchise. The film is set to hit theaters on November 25, 2026, just in time for the Thanksgiving holiday.

The new film will see the return of the original beloved cast, including Ben Stiller as Greg Focker and Robert De Niro as the formidable Jack Byrnes. Teri Polo will reprise her role as Pam, Greg’s wife, with Blythe Danner as Dina and Owen Wilson as the ever-optimistic Kevin.

A significant new addition to the “Focker in Law” cast is pop superstar Ariana Grande, though her specific role has not yet been detailed. Early rumors suggest she might be playing the fiancée of Greg and Pam’s now-grown son, bringing a new generation of “in-laws” into the chaotic Focker-Byrnes dynamic.

The new title, “Focker in Law,” is a clever nod to the original film’s premise, suggesting that Greg Focker himself might now be navigating the challenges of a new “in-law” relationship, perhaps mirroring the awkwardness he experienced with Jack Byrnes. John Hamburg, who penned the scripts for the previous three films, is confirmed to write and direct “Focker in Law,” ensuring continuity in the franchise’s signature comedic style.

These announcements signal a vibrant period for Hollywood sequels, offering both fresh takes on beloved characters and the continuation of popular comedic sagas. Film enthusiasts will undoubtedly be eagerly awaiting further details as production on both projects moves forward.
