It’s a great irony of Hollywood that actors become stars due to their onscreen excellence, yet the fame that results can wind up interfering with the work that made them celebrities in the first place.

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.

Former CAA motion picture agent David Neumann has launched Newmation, a management company for film and TV animation creators. Neumann's initial clients include Oscar winner Hugh Welchman (Loving Vincent), Anita Doron (The Breadwinner) and Gary Trousdale (Beauty and The Beast, Hunchback of Notre Dame).

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.

Brent Lang Executive Editor of Film and MediaDavid Fincher isn’t giving up on “Mindhunter” just yet. However, the director admits that the Netflix series about the FBI’s initial attempts to profile serial killers may not have much of a future given its price tag.“I don’t know if it makes sense to continue,” Fincher told Variety during an interview for a cover story on the making of “Mank.” “It was an expensive show.

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. And as he said to Variety, this also might be the project that has taken the most time to finally see the light of day, but thanks to Netflix, he finally was given the chance to direct “Mank.” READ MORE: David Fincher Calls Orson Welles “A Showman & A Juggler” Who Was Ruined By “Delusional Hubris” If you somehow missed all the hype surrounding the film, “Mank” tells the story of screenwriter Herman J.

Tom Grater International Film ReporterDavid Fincher has criticized Todd Phillips’ Oscar-winning superhero spin-off flic Joker for its portrayal of mental illness.In an interview with The Daily Telegraph, the Mank and Fight Club filmmaker said the movie was “a betrayal of the mentally ill” and also took a wider swipe at the Hollywood studios for only green-lighting films that they think will “make them a billion dollars”.“Nobody would have thought they had a shot at a giant hit with Joker had The Dark Knight not been as massive as it was.

Acclaimed director David Fincher is sharing his thoughts on the movie Joker and why he considers it to be a “betrayal of the mentally ill.” Fincher recently talked about Joker‘s success in contrast to his movie Fight Club, which was much more difficult to get made back in the late 1990s. “Nobody would have thought they had a shot at a giant hit with Joker had The Dark Knight not been as massive as it was,” Fincher told The Telegraph. “I don’t think ­anyone would have looked at that material and thought, Yeah, let’s take [Taxi Driver’s] Travis Bickle and [The King of Comedy’s] Rupert Pupkin and conflate them, then trap him in a betrayal of the mentally ill, and trot it out for a billion dollars,” Fincher added.

Joker to be “a betrayal of the mentally ill”.The DC film, which starred Joaquin Phoenix as Arthur Fleck, has received criticism since its release for its portrayal of mental illness, and was later crowned the most complained about movie of 2019.In a new interview with The Telegraph, director Fincher, who made his big screen return this week with new film Mank, likened Joker to a “trap”.‘I don’t think ­anyone would have looked at that material and thought, “Yeah, let’s take [Taxi Driver’s] Travis Bickle and [The King of Comedy’s] Rupert Pupkin and conflate them, then trap him in a betrayal of the mentally ill, and trot it out for a billion dollars’,” the director said.Regarding Joker‘s record-breaking box office take, Fincher stated his

One of the best parts about awards season is getting to see big directors go through the endless press tour cycle until they run out of things to talk about from their movie, and simply start throwing hot takes at every turn. Last year it was Martin Scorsese accidentally starting a war between filmmakers and Marvel after comparing the MCU to theme park rides.

Mank.Discussing the new film in an interview with The Telegraph, Fincher also discussed future plans, and detailed the new miniseries.“It’s about how modern society measures an apology,” he said. “If you give a truly heartfelt apology and no one believes it, did you even apologise at all? It’s a troubling idea but we live in troubling times.”Since his last big screen appearance with 2017’s Gone Girl, Fincher also helmed the Netflix limited series Mindhunter, which has now been put on hold indefinitely, with the director saying a third season is “unlikely”.Giving new film Mank a five-star review, NME wrote: “Fincher’s latest is a sophisticated drama that’s worth taking the time to get your head around.

When you make a film like “Citizen Kane” as your first feature as a filmmaker, people are going to throw tons of acclaim your way. And that’s exactly what happened with Orson Welles after the release of his masterpiece, which many still consider one of the greatest films of all time.

“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.

While filmmaker David Fincher made a movie for 20th Century Fox in 2014, the thriller “Gone Girl,” it’s easy to forget that by and large, the director’s unofficial home for the majority of his projects since 2013 has been Netflix. He helped put the streaming network on the original programming map with the then-pioneering “House Of Cards” (2013), which he co-executive produced and directed select episodes of, he was the director and key creative lead/defacto showrunner on “Mindhunter” (2017-2019) and he brought the company and co-produced the animated “Love, Death, and Robots” series (2019), with filmmaker and longtime collaborator Tim Miller.
