David Fincher’s ‘The Killer’ Starts Shooting Today in Paris

Contrary to what rumours may have pointed out, there are no delays with David Fincher’s “The Killer,” in fact, it starts shooting today in Paris. Other locations the production will hit include New Orleans, Dominican Republic and Chicago.

Just a few months after the release of “Mank,” it was announced that Fincher was again teaming up with Netflix for a movie. This time it’s “The Killer,” an adaptation of Alexis Nolent’s graphic novel series. ”Seven” screenwriter Andrew Kevin Walker is adapting Nolent’s novels and Michael Fassbender has been confirmed as the lead.

Cinematographer Erik Messerschmidt — who just won an Oscar for Mank — spoke to El Diario Vasco (via The Fincher Analyst) and confirmed he’ll be reteaming with Fincher on this film.

Fincher is a world-class filmmaker and has had a hot streak of films between 1995 and 2014 (“Seven,” “The Game,”  “Fight Club,” “Panic Room,” “Zodiac,” “The Social Network,” “The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo,” “Gone Girl.”) The only time I felt disappointed by a film of his during that time span was 2008’s ”The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.”

Deadline: “The graphic novel series followed a cold-blooded assassin who begins to have a psychological crisis in a world with no moral compass.” 

Hollywood Reporter: “[Fassbender] would star as an assassin who begins to psychologically crack as he develops a conscience, even as his clients continue to demand his skills.”“The Killer” has been a passion project for Fincher since at least 2007. The fact that Fincher is going back to work so quickly after “Mank” is a surprise. He is known to meticulously wait, and wait, and wait for his next project. Not to mention has had quite a few fall by wayside these last few years, including a “World War Z” sequel.
