Continuing its recent nominations rout at the Golden Globes and SAG nominations last week, Netflix starts this week in the same mode scoring 46 noms in the Critics Choice Awards, with David Fincher’s Mank landing in an impressive 12 categories to lead the field.

When you look at the IMDB filmography of David Fincher, you might be shocked to know that the filmmaker has 93 directing credits to his name. That is an absolutely astonishing number of projects for someone that you necessarily don’t think of as a highly prolific creator.

If you’re a fan of films, it’s always fascinating to hear David Fincher talk. No matter if you enjoy his work or not, he’s one of those creators that are just so knowledgeable and precise, he’s endlessly interesting when discussing just anything to do with the industry and creating films.

Shot in black and white, Fincher takes audiences back to the glorious days of Hollywood, as screenwriter Herman J. Mankiewicz pens the screenplay to Orson Welles’ “Citizen Kane.”Production designer Donald Graham Burt is receiving awards buzz for his work on the film.

While actor Amanda Seyfried may be 35-years-old, if it seems like she’s been around forever, it’s because she’s been working in the industry for 22 years now.

When he came back for his first feature film in a half-decade, Mank, David Fincher brought his trusted casting director Laray Mayfield into the fold. Over the past few decades, Mayfield has cast nearly all of the features (and even Fincher's foray into television, Netflix's Mindhunter) that make up Fincher's portfolio, including Fight Club, The Social Network and Gone Girl.

With Mank, director David Fincher realized a long-held dream to shoot a screenplay by his father Jack Fincher, who died in 2003. It’s story set in the Hollywood’s Golden Age and against the making of Orson Welles’ masterpiece Citizen Kane, a movie many consider still the greatest ever made.

There’s no doubt that “Fight Club” is probably one of the more misunderstood films of the past 25 years. What is clear to people who have read the novel on which the film is based, “Fight Club” is a satire that has somehow been treated as some sort of manifesto by people with a misguided view of the world.
