David Fincher’s ‘Mank’ Will be Entirely Shot in Black and White

David Fincher’s upcoming Netflix drama “Mank,” his first feature since 2014’s “Gone Girl,” will start shooting this November. The film will be shot entirely in black and white

Amanda Seyfried (“First Reformed”) and Lily Collins (“Rules Don’t Apply“) have been added to the cast, which Includes Gary Oldman in the titular role.

Oldman is set to play legendary screenwriter Herman Mankiewicz (who co-wrote “Citizen Kane” with Orson Welles). “Mank” will tackle the contentious pre-production of ‘Kane,’ when Mankiewicz and Welles were developing the project.

Fincher, who these last five years has dedicated his time to the popular Netflix shows he created (“House of Cards” and “Mindhunter”), has seen two potential cinematic projects fall apart. There was a “remake” of Hitchcock’s “Strangers on a Train” which was said to be set on a plane instead, but that Ben Affleck-starring vehicle fell apart during pre-production. Ditto Fincher’s planned sequel to the zombie blockbuster “World War Z.” Alas, “Mank” does sound like the most interesting way forward for Fincher, a filmmaker who deserves to be mentioned among the very best working in American cinema today.
