David Fincher Returns with 'Mank'

With more and more movies being removed from the 2020 theatrical calendar (so long Bond! good-bye Dune! catch Soul on Disney + Christmas Day), at least this is one that was always going to come out this year, because it’s on Netflix. It’s been six years since director David Fincher’s last movie Gone Girl, and his return looks like catnip for movie buffs. About the making of Citizen Kane and filmed in a similar style to the famous, groundbreaking cinematography of the Orson Welles masterpiece, Gary Oldman leads an impressive cast as screenwriter Herman Mankiewicz, facing obstacles to getting that film made in the early 40’s. This kind of thing is definitely up my alley, so I’m looking forward to it big time. It’ll be on Netflix Dec 4th.
