Huntington Beach Takes Center Stage as Brad Pitt Films ‘The Adventures of Cliff Booth’
Brad Pitt was spotted filming his latest project, ‘The Adventures of Cliff Booth’, on the shores of Huntington Beach, specifically near Bolsa Chica Tower 17, in early September. The highly anticipated film, which has been directed by David Fincher and written by Quentin Tarantino, has generated excitement among both locals and fans of the actors involved.
This film is a follow-up to Tarantino’s acclaimed 2019 picture, ‘Once Upon a Time in Hollywood’, in which Pitt portrayed the character Cliff Booth, a World War II veteran and stuntman. The return of this character is expected to draw a significant audience, further boosted by Pitt’s star power.
The production recently received a substantial $20 million tax credit from the state, facilitating its filming efforts in California. This financial backing highlights the state’s commitment to attracting major film projects, which not only boosts local economies but also places California on the global entertainment map.
Local resident Jen Garza, who chronicled the filming process on social media, reported the setup for the shoot, including a barricade of orange plastic fencing that was erected between towers 17 and 18 to establish a restricted area for the production crew and actors. Although this barricade required local surfers to walk further to access the water, the excitement of having a high-profile star like Brad Pitt filming nearby seemed to outweigh any inconvenience.
Garza was able to document the event by taking photographs of Brad Pitt, actor Scott Cann, and director David Fincher as they worked on set. Though she did not obtain an autograph from Pitt, Garza expressed excitement over the memorable experience, particularly with the iconic oil rig and lifeguard headquarters visible in the backdrop of her photos.
Despite the buzz surrounding the film and its star-studded cast, there has been no official comment from Netflix regarding the filming or additional details about the project. The anticipation among the public continues to build as more information about the film’s release and content is awaited.
Background Information on the Project
‘The Adventures of Cliff Booth’ continues the legacy established in ‘Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.’ The initial film was well-received, turning it into a significant contributor to both Pitt’s and Tarantino’s storied careers. The character of Cliff Booth has resonated with audiences, setting high expectations for the upcoming narrative.
The union of Pitt, Fincher, and Tarantino is expected to create a unique cinematic experience. Each of these creators has their own distinct style, which could lead to compelling storytelling and engaging performances on screen.
Overall, the unveiling of a production with such significant backing and creative talent has turned Huntington Beach into a temporary hub for film enthusiasts. As shooting continues and more updates become available, the city is likely to remain in the spotlight, attracting attention to both the area and the film industry.
