Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross Score David Fincher’s “The Further Mis-Adventures of Cliff Booth”: Release Date and What We Know
Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross are scoring David Fincher’s The Further Mis-Adventures of Cliff Booth, their sixth feature-film collaboration with the director. The film is set to premiere exclusively in IMAX on November 25, 2026, before arriving on Netflix on December 23, 2026. While the screen-music credit is now public, a separate release date for the Reznor and Ross score has not been announced.
The assignment puts one of contemporary cinema’s most distinctive director-composer partnerships back in place for a film centered on Brad Pitt’s Cliff Booth. Netflix has confirmed that Fincher directs from a Quentin Tarantino script and that the story is set eight years after Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood.
Reznor and Ross join David Fincher’s Cliff Booth film
Pitchfork reported that Reznor and Ross will compose the music for The Further Mis-Adventures of Cliff Booth, bringing their feature-film work with Fincher to six titles. Variety reported that the score credit appeared on the film’s promotional poster, while Netflix’s November 2 promotional post also promoted the IMAX opening.
The announcement is unusually direct as a piece of film-music news: it confirms the composers but does not yet identify individual musicians, sessions, featured songs or any soundtrack configuration. For now, the verified music information is the Reznor-and-Ross score credit itself.
Fincher directs the new film from Tarantino’s script, with Pitt returning as Booth. Netflix Tudum’s release announcement places the narrative eight years after Tarantino’s 2019 film. That connection establishes the character and setting, but the available announcements do not detail how the new score will relate to the music heard in Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood.
The sixth Fincher feature score reunites the Social Network team
The Cliff Booth film follows five previous Fincher features scored by Reznor and Ross: The Social Network, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Gone Girl, Mank and The Killer. Their first collaboration, The Social Network, won the Academy Award for Best Original Score, according to Variety.
That chronology matters more than a generic “reunion” label. Across those five films, Fincher has repeatedly returned to the pair for original feature scoring, and The Further Mis-Adventures of Cliff Booth makes the partnership six films deep. It also gives the promotional credit added weight: the poster does not introduce a new composer-director pairing, but confirms another chapter in an established screen-music relationship.
No further creative details about the score have been disclosed in the reporting supplied so far: its sound, tracklist and whether the film will foreground period selections, original music or a combination of both all remain unconfirmed. Those distinctions matter for a project connected to a character first introduced in a film with a conspicuous music identity.

IMAX premiere is November 25; no score album is confirmed
The film’s release plan is confirmed: Netflix says The Further Mis-Adventures of Cliff Booth will play exclusively in IMAX beginning November 25, 2026, then debut on Netflix on December 23, 2026.
Reznor and Ross are scoring David Fincher’s latest Cliff Booth film.
For listeners waiting for an album, the available reporting supplies no separate soundtrack or score-album release date, tracklist or confirmed digital music release, according to Film Music Reporter. November 25 and December 23 are therefore film-release milestones, not confirmed music-release dates.
