New Poster Confirms Reznor and Ross Are Back With David Fincher
Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross have written the score for David Fincher's The Further Mis-Adventures of Cliff Booth, Variety reported on November 2, 2026. Their involvement was confirmed on the film's newly released official poster, which Netflix unveiled alongside news that IMAX tickets are on sale.
The project marks the sixth Fincher film scored by the Nine Inch Nails duo. Their partnership began with 2010's The Social Network, which earned them the Academy Award and Golden Globe for best original score, and has continued through every Fincher feature since.
The film will play exclusively in IMAX theaters for two weeks starting November 25 before streaming on Netflix from December 23. Brad Pitt returns as stuntman Cliff Booth in the spin-off of Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, from a screenplay by Quentin Tarantino.
Reznor and Ross Extend a Fincher Partnership Built Since The Social Network
Reznor and Ross have scored every Fincher feature released since 2010. After their Oscar win for The Social Network, they scored The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo in 2011, which brought them a Grammy for best score soundtrack for visual media, followed by Gone Girl in 2014, Mank in 2020 and The Killer in 2023.
Beyond Fincher's work, their credits include Patriots Day, Soul, Bird Box, Challengers and Queer. Ross has worked with Reznor since at least 2002, when the pair collaborated on the Tapeworm project.
