This might be TMI for some people, but some famous men have been open about the size of their manhood in interviews over the years. Some of them have revealed they are packing while others weren’t afraid to admit that there’s not much there.

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.

Netflix is known for often canceling fan favorite television shows, and this year has been no exception.

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.

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.

David Fincher has opened up about how his idea for a Spider-Man movie was rejected by Marvel in the ’90s.In a new interview with The Guardian the Fight Club director revealed that he pitched an idea for a Spider-Man film in 1999. His version would skip past the “bitten by a radioactive spider” part of Spider-Man’s origin story and focus on Peter Parker as an adult instead.“They weren’t fucking interested,” he told The Guardian.

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. READ MORE: David Fincher On Why He Chose To Use The Smiths In ‘The Killer’: “I Thought It Was Amusing And Funny” Fincher reunites with “Se7en” scribe Andrew Kevin Walker for his latest feature, about an assassin who gets caught in an international manhunt after a hit goes wrong.

Once (or even twice) apparently isn’t enough when it comes to Stieg Larsson‘s “Millennium” trilogy. Variety reports that Amazon MGM Studios has a new series adaptation of Larsson’s nordic noir book series in the works; moviegoers may better know them for “The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo,” which David Fincher did his own take of back in 2011 as part of his lean, mean, airport paperback adaptation phase that also included 2014’s “Gone Girl.” READ MORE: David Fincher Is Proud Of ‘Dragon Tattoo’ But Admits The Film Is “A Swing & A Miss” Amazon/MGM first announced their new adaptation was in development in May 2020, but without a showrunner attached.

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is being made into a TV series.

Once upon a time, David Fincher‘s follow-up to 2014’s “Gone Girl” would have been a sequel to the 2013 blockbuster “World War Z.” But Fincher’s entry into blockbuster filmmaking never happened, with Paramount eventually scrapping the project by 2019. But what did one of Hollywood’s most distinct visual stylists have in mind for the sequel? Deadline reports (via GQ UK) that Fincher described his take as similar to a hit HBO series with a similar backdrop.

David Fincher has revealed that he’s “glad” his planned World War Z sequel was never made, comparing it to HBO‘s The Last Of Us adaptation.Speaking to GQ Magazine UK, Fincher spoke of his cancelled World War Z sequel and explained the similarities between his vision for the film and this year’s The Last Of Us live-action series based on the video game of the same name.“It was a little like The Last Of Us,” Fincher said. “I’m glad that we didn’t do what we were doing, because The Last Of Us has a lot more real estate to explore the same stuff.”Fincher went on to explain: “In our title sequence, we were going to use the little parasite… [The Last Of Us] used it in their title sequence, and in that wonderful opening with the Dick Cavett, David Frost-style talk show.”The filmmaker was also asked if his original vision for the now-cancelled sequel was closer to the original World War Z novel rather than an original take on it, to which he said that it wasn’t close to the original book but “there is some talk of doing that”.Fincher’s next film will be the assassin film, The Killer starring Michael Fassbender.

It would be hard to argue that “Deadpool” didn’t change the landscape of superhero/comic book adaptations. The successful R-rated “X-Men” adjacent film cemented Ryan Reynolds as a full-fledged action star and launched director Tim Miller as someone on the pulse of genre filmmaking.
