Following his critically acclaimed work directing Mank, David Fincher looks to have found his next project returning to a genre he knows well. Sources tell Deadline Fincher is currently
developing an adaptation of the Alexis Nolent’s The Killer graphic novel series, re-teaming with Seven screenwriter Andrew Kevin Walker, who will adapt. While unconfirmed, sources also say
Michael Fassbender is in talks to star in the pic. Netflix would not comment on Fassbender’s involvement.
Fincher recently made Netflix his home for the foreseeable future after signing a four year deal with the streamer. The relationship is already off to a good start with Mank, his
behind-the-scenes story of the making of Citizen Kane, in the middle of award season run that includes six Golden Globe nominations and a SAG nomination for Gary Oldman. Fincher had been
been considering a number of films along with The Killer for some time but with award season hitting the home stretch, the director was looking for his next thing. Sources say after recent
meetings with Fassbender, Fincher firmed up his commitment to the film and possibly making his next feature.
