Netflix Sets Fall Release Dates for Theaters and Streaming: Zack Snyder, Emily Blunt, David Fincher and More

Stars like Emily Blunt and Chris Evans have carefully created the public persona of being kind and gracious people — through prior roles, interviews, and chat show appearances. Doubtless, it is not just good PR — they are genuinely lovely people.

Emily Blunt enjoyed a day out at the tennis with her husband John Krasinkski and their two children, Hazel, nine, and Violet, six. The family were seen out on Friday, 8 September, at Arthur Ashe Stadium watching the tennis at the US Open.The 40 year old actress was seen enjoying the match, even shouting out at various times. Letting her blonde locks down, Emily wore glasses and a floral-patterned top.Their children were papped sipping on their drinks, with Violet, who matched her mum as she wore a blue floral dress, climbed onto John’s lap for a cuddle.

Emily Blunt is a desperate single mom who ends up in a wild criminal scheme in David Yates’ Pain Hustlers. Netflix today dropped the first trailer for the film billed as tonally similar to The Big Short, American Hustle and The Wolf of Wall Street.

It surprised no one earlier this year when Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross officially came on board to score David Fincher‘s “The Killer.” After all, the pair have scored all of Fincher’s films since 2010’s “The Social Network.” But it surprised audiences at the movie’s world premiere in Venice last weekend when Reznor & Ross’ work didn’t feature prominently in “The Killer” at all.

McKinley Franklin editor Emily Blunt is at the center of a criminal conspiracy in the first official trailer for Netflix’s “Pain Hustlers,” which is set to debut on the streaming service Oct. 27 after premiering at the Toronto International Film Festival. As a mother struggling to support her daughter, Liza Drake (portrayed by Blunt) seeks out a new stream of income in hopes of turning her life around.

The opioid crisis is a real global tale of capitalism run amuck, and it’s been the basis for stories like Netflix’s recent “Painkiller” and Hulu’s Sackler-based series, “Dopesick.” The latest from this unending tale of greed, corruption, and rampant capitalism is “Pain Hustlers,” which comes from Netflix and stars an A-list cast of Emily Blunt and Chris Evans.

David Fincher has explained why he chose to include tracks by The Smiths on the soundtrack for his upcoming film The Killer.Michael Fassbender stars as a troubled assassin in the upcoming thriller, which is based on the French graphic novel by Alexis Nolent. It was adapted by screenwriter Andrew Kevin Walker, who previously worked with Fincher on Seven.While the film’s score is composed by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, Fincher explained at the Venice Film Festival how The Smiths also came to feature heavily on the soundtrack.“The Smiths were a post-production addition because I knew I wanted to use ‘How Soon Is Now?’ and I love the idea of that song specifically as a tool for assuaging his anxiety,” Fincher said (via IndieWire).

David Fincher and Boots Riley are both very good filmmakers. In terms of Fincher, some put him up there as one of the best working today.

David Fincher’s latest feature, The Killer, earned 6 minutes and 45 seconds of applause Sunday evening after the lights went up on the film’s world premiere screening at the Venice Film Festival.

David Fincher spooked Venice with the world premiere of his latest movie “The Killer,” which stars Michael Fassbender as an assassin. The Netflix drama 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.

The question of whether or not technology has killed the classic crime thriller has popped in and out of the discourse as the years saw pocket watches morph into sci-fi-looking gadgets capable of getting one both dinner and a first-class ticket to Dubai in the space of a couple of minutes.

In principle, using the rainy-day, kitchen-sink post-rock of Manchester band The Smiths so prominently in a film like The Killer seems incredibly perverse, given that it’s an exotic, globe-trotting thriller about an American assassin. But in reality, it’s actually very sound choice indeed: legend has it that the band’s singer, Morrissey, had two reasons for naming his band so, the first being that “Smith” is one of the most common and thus unremarkable surnames in the world. The second, and much more subversive theory, suggests that it’s also a reference to David and Maureen Smith, brother-in-law and sister of ’60s serial killer Myra Hindley, the snappily dressed couple whose testimony blew open the Moors Murderers case and whose beatnik likenesses adorn the cover of Sonic Youth’s 1990 album “Goo”.

The hit is taking place in Paris, and the target is some sort of powerful corporate tycoon who we, like the killer, know nothing about. His home occupies the entire penthouse floor of one of those ornate block-long Parisian apartment buildings.

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.
