Netflix has a bunch of anticipated films left on their 2023 release calendar, but maybe none more so than David Fincher‘s “The Killer.” And the director’s follow-up to 2020’s “Mank” sees him in familiar territory: adapting a hardboiled thriller in a way only he can.

Very rarely do iconic horror movies escape the remake treatment at some point in their franchise legacy. Such classics as The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, A Nightmare On Elm Street, Halloween and The Omen have all been treated (or fallen victim to, depending on your opinion) to a remake, but there are some that simply seem to be untouchable. The Exorcist, directed by the late great William Friedkin 50 years ago, is one such sacred text. However, just because everyone respects it, doesn’t mean you can’t franchise it, with The Exorcist inspiring a number of sequels, prequels and TV shows, stopping short of going for a full-blown remake.
This may ruffle some feathers: speaking to Le Monde about his latest film “The Killer,” David Fincher made some semi-controversial remarks regarding the state of the filmmaking industry. His take? Netflix, the streamer that’s produced his last two films, is the best place in Hollywood to make movies right now.
UPDATED with trailer: “Time is a funny thing. The past, the future. It all gets mixed up. There’s only one way to keep it straight. Always remember who you are.” The voiceover at the beginning of the first trailer sets the stage for Netflix‘s anticipated live-action series Avatar: The Last Airbender. You can watch it above.
Jaden Thompson When the world needed the Avatar most, he vanished — or did he? Netflix has released the trailer for the upcoming live-action adaptation of the beloved Nickelodeon series “Avatar: The Last Airbender,” set for release in 2024. As fans of the popular animated Nickelodeon show will recall, “The Last Airbender” follows four nations that once lived harmoniously alongside one another, each ruled by a different element: air, fire, water and earth.
You’ve heard the name The Arftul Dodge, but if you were asleep in English class, you might know the Artful Dodger is a character in Charles Dickens’ 1838 novel “Oliver Twist.” He, Jack Dawkins, gets the spotlight in Hulu’s new upcoming Australian Original series “The Artful Dodger,” which explores the adult double life of Charles Dicken’s famous prince of thieves, aka The Artful Dodger. All eight episodes of season one premiere on Hulu on Wednesday, November 29.
Remember Marky Mark? If you’re under a certain age, probably not, and Mark Wahlberg has some fun with that notion in the new trailer for the upcoming Apple TV+ action-comedy The Family Plan.
Matthew Perry once joked about being seriously in debt to his Friends co-star David Schwimmer, and the resurfaced quote is speaking to the close bond shared between the hit show’s cast.
Zack Sharf Digital News Director The holiday movie season kicks off in November, and the streamers are providing no shortage of Christmas movies to subscribers this month. Whether it’s the reemergence of beloved classics (see “Elf” making its way to Hulu) or streamers offering up new originals (Disney+’s “Dashing Through the Snow,” for instance), holiday movie lovers will have plenty of options to help them get into the Christmas spirit this November.
Stuntman-turned-filmmaker David Leitch has put together quite the filmography over the past decade. His first directing gig was co-helming “John Wick” with Chad Stahelski before rattling off “Atomic Blonde, “Deadpool 2,” and “Hobbs & Shaw” in quick succession.
Though many might consider David Fincher an auteur filmmaker who is probably above making superhero films, that wasn’t always the case. Early in his career, after the success of “Se7en,” it appears Fincher was brought in by Sony to pitch the studio about what his version of “Spider-Man” might look like.
Zack Sharf Digital News Director David Fincher was recently asked by The Guardian about how his 1999 directorial effort “Fight Club” has become a favorite amongst incels and far-right groups for depicting disenfranchised white men coming together to rally against capitalist society. The director distanced himself from such a topic, telling the publication, “I’m not responsible for how people interpret things…Language evolves. Symbols evolve.” “Ok, fine,” Fincher replied when the Guardian writer said “Fight Club” has become a touchstone for the far right.
If you’re a fan of David Fincher, you know the filmmaker has flirted with the idea of sequels in the past. Most notably, the director was long attached to a sequel to the hit horror film, “World War Z.” However, in recent years, there has been quite a bit of chatter about a sequel to his award-winning 2010 film, “The Social Network.” Obviously, there’s plenty of new developments in the social media world to warrant another film, but in addition, writer Aaron Sorkin has even teased the possibility of it happening.
Fight Club, and that he “can’t help” people who don’t understand that Tyler Durden is a “negative influence”.In the film, Edward Norton plays an unnamed, discontented man who forms an underground fighting network with strict rules with Tyler Durden (Brad Pitt), who persuades him to expand the club into the anti-consumerist organisation Project Mayhem.Many have observed that the film, which is based on the transgressive 1996 novel by Chuck Palahniuk, anticipated the rise of so-called ‘incels’, short for ‘involuntary celibates’, or straight men who believe their lack of sexual activity is due to political and societal structures.Speaking to The Guardian, Fincher said, “I’m not responsible for how people interpret things. Language evolves.
Michael Fassbender‘s next role has been revealed!
David Fincher isn’t quite ready to give a “like” to the concept of doing a sequel to his 2010 Academy Award-winning film about the founding of Facebook, The Social Network.
Michael Fassbender finds himself in the thick of a manhunt in the new trailer for David Fincher‘s The Killer!
Zack Sharf Digital News Director Before Sam Raimi landed the directing gig on Sony’s 2002 comic book tentpole “Spider-Man,” it was David Fincher who met with the studio to try and get his own spin on the web-slinger to the big screen. In a new interview with The Guardian to mark the release of his latest movie, “The Killer,” the director remembered not seeing eye to eye with the studio over what a “Spider-Man” movie could be. They wanted an origin story, but he wanted to skip over the whole “bitten by a radioactive spider” part and focus on a grown-up Peter Parker.
David Fincher‘s The Killer hits select cinemas today (October 27), before it streams on Netflix from November 10, and comes with a huge soundtrack.The film – as with many Fincher movies including The Social Network, The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, Gone Girl and Mank – features a score from Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross as well as a host of songs including many by The Smiths.Discussing the prominence of The Smiths on the soundtrack, Fincher said (via Indiewire): “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. I liked it as a meditation tape, I thought it was amusing and funny.”He added: “I don’t think that there’s a library of music by recording artists that have as much sardonic nature and wit simultaneously [as the Smiths].
With “The Killer,” David Fincher finds himself in familiar territory: working again with “Se7en” scribe Andrew Kevin Walker on a lean, mean adaptation of a pulpy crime plot. And how well Fincher excels in fare like that–whether it’s stuff like “Panic Room” or his take on airport reads like “Gone Girl“–is why he’s one of his generation’s most beloved filmmakers.
