“The Crown,” “Widows” and “The Great Gatsby” actress Elizabeth Debicki is in talks for a leading role in David Fincher’s new film “The Continuing Adventures of Cliff Booth” at Netflix.
The project is a spin-off/sequel to Quentin Tarantino’s 2019 film “Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood” with Brad Pitt returning to reprise the role of Rick Dalton’s stuntman and driver Cliff Booth.
Set several years later, this will see his character in a new role within the Hollywood system – he’s a studio fixer. Tarantino penned the project and Fincher will direct under his overall deal with Netflix.
According to What’s on Netflix which revealed the news, Debicki has an offer and is in “active talks for the role of Roberta, the manager of a mud wrestling bar.”

Damson Idris says he felt ‘absolute fear’ before F1 test drive audition
Damson Idris talks F1 in a recent Entertainment Weekly interview.
Though Idris never had a problem with the fast speeds, getting the car started was the true challenge. “I was really good at driving at crazy speeds,” the actor says. “I was really good at driving around the track and doing all the crazy turns. The hardest thing for me was actually getting a car started. The clutch is a hand clutch.”
Idris adds, “Brad was just exquisite at it. But man, there was some sort of coordination that just was not clicking with me. Once I got it started, I was ready to fly.”
Idris, 33, caught up with PEOPLE recently to discuss his fine jewelry line Didris. During the conversation, the British actor said the mentor-mentee-type relationship his character takes up with Pitt’s Formula 1 racer is “exactly the same” as the friendship they developed while making the film.
“It was a seamless dynamic between us. As soon as they’d yell ‘Cut,’ we both sat at our seats and giggled,” Idris recalls. “He’d be telling me stories of when he first met Prince and Sidney Poitier. And I’m like, ‘Oh my God, this is just too iconic, you’re a walking monument.'” Read more.
