David Fincher seems to be the first person to admit that he’s not the easiest filmmaker to work with. That doesn’t mean he’s a terrible person or an awful director.

Netflix‘s Mindhunter, has detailed how he would like to end the show if it gets reinstated for a third season.Last year, it was reported that the psychological crime thriller’s third season would have to wait for Fincher to finish work on his latest movie, Mank, which sees Gary Oldman star as Citizen Kane writer Herman J.

Jazz Tangcay Artisans Editor“Mank” cinematographer Erik Messerschmidt and director David Fincher have a shorthand way of communicating: They worked together on Netflix’s “Mindhunter,” and Messerschmidt served as gaffer on 2014’s “Gone Girl.” Messerschmidt makes his feature film debut as director of photography on “Mank,” the story of screenwriter Herman J.

With “Mank” in select theaters (only a handful, to be honest) and arriving on Netflix in a matter of weeks, David Fincher is doing his press tour and shedding some light on what many believe is his most ambitious, unique feature to date.

Mank” is the gripping story of the brilliant but troubled artist behind “Citizen Kane,” often considered to be the greatest movie ever made.No, it’s not about director Orson Welles. Instead, it pushes Herman J.

(Spoiler alert: Do not read on if you haven’t seen David Fincher’s “Mank.”)In David Fincher’s “Mank,” Lily Collins’ character Rita Alexander hears that her boss, “Citizen Kane” screenwriter Herman J. Mankiewicz, helped 100 people flee out of Nazi Germany.

The Telegraph.

“Once Upon a Time In Hollywood” and “La La Land” were egregiously overrated, ego-driven projects that didn’t honor Los Angeles so much as their own directors. Ryan Murphy’s “Hollywood” on Netflix was a tacky mess.

David Fincher is infamous for being a very meticulous, detail-oriented filmmaker. Over the years, actors and crew members have spoken out about how difficult it is to work with the director because of his propensity for forcing people to do dozens of takes for a scene.
