The year began, as they usually do, with so much promise. This was, after all, supposed to be the year that DC came roaring back, with Shazam! Fury of the Gods, the long-awaited The Flash, Blue Beetle, and Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom. Marvel had its own big slate. We were to be in a Shangri-La of screen superheroes. Yet in the end, it appeared the comic book movies failed audiences.
Or did they? Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem, based on comics from the 1980s, is one of the top animated movies of the year. David Fincher’s stylish The Killer is based on a French graphic novel. And of course, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, is a towering achievement even beyond the medium of animation.
In other corners, movies based on toys, for the most part, are looked down upon and are considered jokes. But here, too, 2023 surprised us.

After decades of witnessing cinematic homicide, it’s easy to get desensitized to murder on the big screen – and I’m not just talking about the horror genre. From heroic secret agents who don’t mind getting their hands dirty to hitmen with hearts of gold, we’ve come to accept that main characters will usually come out the other side of a story with a massive body-count. This isn’t exactly a surprise, as violence is one of the oldest and most easily understandable forms of human conflict, and compelling conflict is what fuels good storytelling.
One filmmaker who’s always been fascinated with the dark side of this obsession with violence is David Fincher, a music-video director turned auteur known for his perfectionist streak and stylish filmography. And in 2023, cinephiles were gifted with an unexpected treat when Fincher once again teamed up with Se7en writer Andrew Kevin Walker...

Early in The Killer, Michael Fassbender’s titular assassin bemoans the fact that elaborate, “cage-rattling” murder-for-hire jobs are tedious, and wonders “when’s the last time I had a nice, quiet drowning?”
For David Fincher, a director known for big swings, The Killer is his quiet drowning, a focused pulp thriller that feels intimate and small-scale despite its globe-trotting plot. If it lacks the bombast and provocations of Fincher’s masterpieces, it makes up for them with a wry sense of humor and a main character whose inner monologue reveals that this might be the director’s most personal film yet.
Loosely based on a graphic novel by Alexis Nolent, The Killer concerns an assassin who we meet in Paris, sitting in an abandoned WeWork preparing for his next job. For much of the first half hour, we watch him go through his routine – adjusting and readjusting his scope, conducting...

David Fincher’s new film, The Killer, has now been released, and many are glowing about its slick filmmaking. Michael Fassbender stars as a contract killer who is particular in his ways and the intricate procedure in which he goes about his job. While many may feel the plot itself is simplistic, the Netflix film features Fincher’s distinct style. In a review from our own Chris Bumbray, he expresses, “As usual for a Fincher movie, The Killer is impeccably crafted, running a lean two hours and sporting Fincher’s signature cold, dark look via Dp Erik Messerschmidt. The score by Atticus Ross and Trent Reznor is more sparse than usual, and the sound design is intricate enough that if you get a chance to see this theatrically, you should.”
Among the fans of the film, director Guillermo Del Toro is someone in particular who the movie really won over.

David Fincher is back on Netflix. His last project, 2020’s Mank, also shared the comfort of your home on Netflix. It seems Netflix will be the place to find new Fincher films from now on, with the film getting a limited cinema release. There were no screenings of the film anywhere close to me and I, like many, had to wait for the film to drop on the streaming platform. Netflix should look to Apple TV, who have been giving wider, and longer releases to their original films.

The man is a consummate professional. In the outside world, he could be anyone — just another ridiculous looking dude somewhere between the ages of 32 and 48, the everyguy in line behind you at an Ace Hardware store or in front of you at McDonald’s. But sitting here, in an unfinished WeWork office space, is this slender, limber apex predator in his natural habitat, and an extremely patient one. He’s perched here for days, just staring out the window at a ritzy apartment in Paris. Watching. Waiting. Whiling away the hours,...

The latest feature from David Fincher, a big-budget drama series from Steven Knight and Shawn Levy, and an Oscar hopeful starring Annette Bening and Jodie Foster are among the standout new additions hitting Netflix in November.
With The Killer, Fincher reteams with Seven writer Andrew Kevin Walker to adapt the graphic novel written by Alexis Nolent. The film, which premiered at the Venice Film Festival this year and debuts on Netflix on Nov. 10, stars Michael Fassbender as a shadowy unnamed assassin and features a cast that includes Arliss Howard, Charles Parnell, Gabriel Polanco, Kerry O’Malley, Emiliano Pernía, Sala Baker, Sophie Charlotte and Tilda Swinton.
The Hollywood Reporter‘s review of The Killer described the film as “a satisfyingly retro, location-hopping genre exercise with fisticuffs, gadgets (albeit ones bought from Amazon) and smooth-talking antagonists that all plays like a tongue-in-cheek spoof of James Bond movies.”

The official trailer for Netflix’s The Killer begins with a man (played by Michael Fassbender) explaining that he listens to music to keep his mind from wandering, allowing him to remain focused on the job. The job that requires such intense concentration? Hired assassin.
“After a fateful near-miss, an assassin battles his employers, and himself, on an international manhunt he insists isn’t personal,” reads Netflix’s synopsis.
In addition to two-time Oscar nominee Michael Fassbender, the R-rated thriller stars Charles Parnell (Barry), Arliss Howard (Manhunt), Sophie Charlotte (Todas as Flores), and Oscar winner Tilda Swinton (Michael Clayton). The film’s based on writer Alexis Nolent (aka Matz) and illustrator Luc Jacamon’s graphic novel series, and was adapted by Andrew Kevin Walker.

I’ve had them and I’m sure you’ve had them. Lousy days at work will happen at some point and many times it’s our fault. We’ve “scrooched the pooch” as they say, made an error, perhaps a miscalculation or even an uncrossed”t”. What’s the worst that could happen? Well, we could get fired or perhaps suspended or given a “stern warning” maybe along with a verbal “dressing down”. Yes, that’s with most regular jobs, but what if your profession is life or death? But more toward the latter if you’re a “murder merchant”, or a “gun for hire”. That’s at the heart of a new thriller from one of the most inventive filmmakers of the last few decades. He gives us a look at a “very bad, no-good day”, leading to several wretched weeks in the life of The Killer.

David Fincher’s new film The Killer debuted to mixed reactions when the film premiered at the Venice Film Festival this year. Then, in the review from our own Chris Bumbray, he says it may not be one of Fincher’s best, it’s still calculated and expertly assembled as only Fincher can do. Netflix has now unveiled the newest trailer for the streamer’s original film starring Michael Fassbender. In this trailer, we get slightly more details on the plot, but we are totally immersed Fassbender’s assassin thought process with his inner monologue guiding us through the preview.

The film sports a cast with acting talents such as Michael Fassbender, Charles Parnell, Arliss Howard, Sophie Charlotte and Tilda Swinton. The screenplay is written by Andrew Kevin Walker.

Michael Fassbender is a killer with a meditative streak.
The actor leads David Fincher’s drama “The Killer” as an assassin who begins to have a psychological crisis in a world with no moral compass.
The official synopsis reads: After a fateful near miss, an assassin battles his employers — and himself — on an international hunt for retribution he insists isn’t personal. Solitary, cold, methodical, and unencumbered by scruples or regrets, a killer waits in the shadows, watching for his next target. Yet, the longer he waits, the more he thinks he’s losing his mind, if not his cool.
The Netflix film is based on the graphic novel of the same name by Alexis Nolent Aka Matz, which “Se7en” screenwriter Andrew Kevin Walker adapted for the screen. Tilda Swinton, Charles Parnell, Arliss Howard, and Sophie Charlotte also star. Ceán Chaffin produces.

David Fincher’s hotly anticipated The Killer finally made an appearance at Lff 2023 after a delayed release. It is another meticulous masterpiece of Fincher filmmaking for fans, complete with a central character shrouded in mystery, masterminding events that unfold, while draped in shadowy and vivid cinematography.
Based on a graphic novel by Alexis ‘Matz’ Nolent and artist Luc Jacamon, the unnamed assassin (Michael Fassbender) called ‘the Killer’ is playing a waiting game in Paris, watching an apartment of a luxury hotel across the street, waiting for his target and executing the intended hit. An unexpected turn of events spark an urgent race against time to eliminate all threats to the killer’s existence, as the ‘clean-up team’ hunt the hunter.

Michael Fassbender and David Fincher come together for a lone assassin thriller that glides off the screen with impeccable style and a simmering, slyly subversive wit that elevates it above the tried and tested conventions of this beloved action genre. The Killer is adapted from the French graphic novel series of the same name by Matz (aka Alexis Nolent), whose work also inspired the 2012 Sylvester Stallone/Walter Hill collaboration Bullet to the Head. Seven scribe Andrew Kevin Walker pens the script, which unfurls with the same ruthless efficiency and self-control as Fassbender’s unnamed trigger man, a fastidious, coldly disciplined loner, who operates according to the dictates of a ruthlessly upheld code. Onscreen, Fassbender barely utters a word during the film’s runtime, but on...

David Fincher is known for doing lots of takes while filming, but Michael Fassbender upped the ante while filming “The Killer” by apparently never blinking when the camera was on him. The film’s cinematography Erik Messerschmidt revealed the detail in the latest issue of Empire Magazine. Messerschmidt previously worked with Fincher on “Mindhunter” and “Mank,” the latter of which won him the Oscar for best cinematography.
“I believe that you have to be impossible to deal with to be any good at this — you have to be completely uncompromising, to the absolute limit, or you’ll never make anything good,” Messerschmidt said of working with Fincher. “And that’s scary. I see these masters of their craft, fighting for every inch.”
Messerschmidt called Fassbender “the perfect actor for David”, with Empire noting that he also mentioned “how the focus puller highlighted something remarkable: the actor didn’t blink on camera for the entire shoot.

Before X-Men or Spider-Man, there was Blade, the 1998 movie starring Wesley Snipes as the iconic vampire hunter. The film was written by David Goyer, who revealed on the Happy Sad Confused podcast that he originally developed a draft of Blade with none other than David Fincher.
At the time, David Fincher had only directed Alien 3, so he was far from the high-profile filmmaker we know today. “I developed a draft with Fincher before he had done Seven,” Goyer said. “I think he had done Alien 3 and maybe he was developing Seven. I developed a draft with him. I remember going to our producers office, and Fincher had this…there was this giant conference table. Fincher laid out 40 to 50 books of photography and art with post-it notes inside them. He said, ‘This is the movie.’“
Goyer continued, “[Fincher] took us on a two-hour tour around the table of the aesthetics of this scene,...

Aggro Dr1ft A seasoned hitman navigates Miami’s underbelly on a relentless pursuit of his next target. A gun for hire embarks on a killing spree after his contractors threaten his loved ones. A man impersonates an assassin to put people behind bars… Ten days into my Venice trip, I started sensing a pattern. Hitmen and murderers were nearly as omnipresent as the biopics that stashed the festival’s slates, but the strongest titles I saw on the Lido all seemed to treat genre as something malleable: a means to interrogate the scope and limits of the medium, and push it toward new, exciting paths.So it was for Harmony Korine’s Aggro Dr1ft, a film so shamelessly proud to be its own deranged thing it more than made up for all those I saw and immediately forgot the minute a vaporetto shipped me home. Shot entirely in infrared and...

A master of his craft renowned for his clinical, methodical technique suddenly finds himself in a precarious position. But before we get to David Fincher, let's talk about his new film, "The Killer."
Based on the French graphic novel series of the same name by writer Alexis Nolent and illustrator Luc Jacamon, "The Killer" is the first feature film Fincher has directed since 2020's Oscar-winning "Mank" and only his third in the last 10 years. That's partly due to him being busy helming multiple episodes of Netflix's acclaimed serial killer drama "Mindhunter," as well as producing and occasionally directing the streamer's (also well-received) animated anthology series "Love, Death & Robots." Still, it's just not the same as consistently having a new Fincher film every few years as we did in the 1990s and 2000s.
Maybe that's why the crowd was particularly enthusiastic during his new film's world premiere at the Venice International Film Festival.

Fincher becomes latest Venice attendee to comment on the US action.
US director David Fincher has said he “can understand both sides” of the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes that have Hollywood on hold.

David Fincher’s latest feature, The Killer, earned 6 minutes and 45 seconds of applause Sunday evening at the film’s world premiere screening at the Venice Film Festival.
The atmosphere inside the room following the premiere was respectful, with Fincher in attendance without his main cast but with a healthy contingent of Netflix collaborators and his filmmaking partners leading the applause. As a Netflix production, the film is not eligible for SAG’s interim agreement program.
The pic, based on Alexis Nolent (pen name: Matz) and Luc Jacamon’s graphic novel series, stars Michael Fassbender and is Fincher’s first feature since 2020’s Mank, also for Netflix, which scored 10 Oscar noms, including Best Picture, and won two.

“The Killer” bowed at the 2023 Venice Film Festival on Sunday, September 3. Directed by three-time Oscar nominee David Fincher in his first film since 2020’s “Mank,” it stars Michael Fassbender as a hitman. The storyline is described thusly: A man, solitary and cold, methodical and unencumbered by scruples or regrets, the killer waits in the shadows, watching for his next target. And yet the longer he waits, the more he thinks he’s losing his mind, if not his cool. A brutal, bloody and stylish noir story of a professional assassin lost in a world without a moral compass.”
Fincher is said to have been attached to the “Killer” project since 2007, when it was set at Paramount. It followed Fincher over to Netflix under Fincher’s overall deal with the streamer.
Early reviews have been positive-to-mixed. As of this writing, “The Killer” rates 88% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes based on 16 reviews, with...

David Fincher spooked Venice with the world premiere of his latest movie “The Killer,” which stars Michael Fassbender as an assassin. The Netflix thriller earned a respectable 5-minute standing ovation at its screening on the Lido on Sunday night.
Fassbender and co-star Tilda Swinton couldn’t attend the premiere because of the SAG-AFTRA strike. Fincher walked the carpet alone, with a small group of Netflix executives, as he signed posters of some of his most beloved movies, from “Fight Club” to “Se7en.”
But Fincher must not have received the memo about Venice’s tradition of showering movies with standing ovations after a gala premiere. As the audience clapped for him, he uncomfortably shifted on his feet and flailed his hands in the air and mouthed: “What is this?” A producer led him down the stairs from his balcony seat to meet fans, but Fincher thought he was leaving the theater.

Venice film festival: Michael Fassbender is perfect in the main role of a yoga-loving assassin who discourses on everything from morality to the Smiths
David Fincher’s horribly addictive samurai procedural, adapted by Andrew Kevin Walker from the graphic novel by Alexis Nolent, stars Michael Fassbender as the un-named titular hitman: an ascetic who in the movie’s sensationally low-key opening sequence tells us about dealing with the job’s biggest challenge: boredom. He internally monologues on this subject, and many others, including his views on the amorality of the universe and the music of the Smiths, while sitting high up in a rented WeWork office space with his long-range rifle, next to a five-star Paris hotel, waiting, waiting, waiting, for the VIP guest to show up in the suite opposite and get a bullet in the head.

At least no one will get to the end of director David Fincher’s latest, The Killer, and feel in any way misled by the title. Or the film’s droll, on-the-nose tagline for that matter: “Execution is everything,” arguably the most Fincherian tagline ever, as a colleague pointed out.
Adapted by longtime Fincher collaborator Andrew Kevin Walker from a graphic novel written by Alexis Nolent (aka Matz) and illustrated by Luc Jacamon, this wry, efficient and very process-oriented crime thriller revolves around an unnamed assassin played by Michael Fassbender. Descended from a long line of cinematic guns for hire, he’s less ruthless than affectless, almost literally the shadow of a man. (As lit by Dp Erik Messerschmidt, his face constantly disappears into the dark under the brim of his cheap bucket hat.)
However, this killer is compelled to vary his usual routine when a hit in Paris goes wrong.

David Fincher is in town today for the world premiere of The Killer starring Michael Fassbender as an assassin who battles his employers, and himself, on an international manhunt while insisting none of it is personal.
Fassbender, who’s got a side career as a race car driver, was Fincher’s first choice for the titular role. The filmmaker told the Venice press corps today, “Had we had not been able to fit into his window between racing seasons, we probably wouldn’t have made the movie.”
From Netflix, The Killer marks a return to genre for the director of SE7EN and Fight Club. Why choose to feature an assassin this time around? Said Fincher, “The task at hand is relatable, it’s dramatic, it’s high stakes and in a lot of ways it’s extremely procedural, there are a lot of boxes that you need to tick before you exhale and pull.

The Killer director David Fincher has stepped into the breach between Hollywood studios and streamers and striking actors and writers by urging both sides to return to the negotiating table.
“It’s very sad for me. I can understand both sides. All we can do is encourage people to talk,” Fincher said while at the Venice Film Festival to launch his Netflix assassin movie on Sunday. Recalling The Killer was made during the pandemic and that industry disruption, the director expressed regret that SAG-AFTRA and Writers Guild of America members had now set down tools again.
“I’m very sad obviously. I sit in the middle of both parties,” Fincher added as his hard-boiled noir for Netflix is premiering in competition in Venice.

The Venice Gap-Financing Market is celebrating its 10-year anniversary this year with record-breaking attendance and impressive new figures on the projects that the core component of Venice’s industry side has helped bring to the big screen.
All told, over the span of a decade, “We have had 370 films (including immersive) from 70 countries and 80% of them have been completed within six months after the festival,” says Pascal Diot who heads the Venice Production Bridge, as the Lido’s market is known. All projects unveiled at the Venice Gap Financing Market must have at least 70% of their funding in place.
Steve McQueen’s documentary “Occupied City,” Wim Wenders’ “The Secrets of Places,” a 3D feature doc about Swiss architect Peter Zumthor, and Alain Parroni’s “An Endless Sunday,” which is premiering both at Venice and Toronto this year, are among standout titles that have closed their financing on the Lido.

Netflix has just released the manic trailer for David Fincher’s new dark tale from the crime underworld that has Michael Fassbender losing himself in a psychosis. The Killer is the new effort from Fincher and his Seven screenwriter, Andrew Kevin Walker. Yesterday, the one-sheet poster for the film was released and depicted a stylized, painted look of Michael Fassbender’s character that’s indicative of a retro 70’s movie poster or novel. Today, the official trailer has been released by the streaming service.
