David Fincher | Entertainment News, Photos, and Videos

David Fincher has directed the upcoming movie Mank, marking his first feature film since 2014′s Gone Girl.

In Mank, “1930s Hollywood is re-evaluated through the eyes of scathing social critic and alcoholic screenwriter Herman J. Mankiewicz (Gary Oldman) as he races to finish the screenplay of Citizen Kane for Orson Welles (Tom Burke).”

Citizen Kane is considered to have one of the greatest scripts of all time and it won the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay.

Mank also stars Amanda Seyfried as Marion Davies and Lily Collins as Rita Alexander.

The movie does not yet have a release date, but it’s expected to premiere on Netflix in the fall. These first look photos were released on Saturday (September 5) to coincide with the 79th anniversary of Citizen Kane‘s wide theatrical opening.

Amanda Seyfried is opening up about getting a scene exactly right.

The 34-year-old actress opened up in an interview with Collider about her experience with director David Fincher while filming Mank, the biopic about Citizen Kane screenwriter Herman J. Mankiewicz.

She described the experience as “the hardest [she’s] ever worked,” and said he made her shoot one scene approximately 200 times ”for an entire week.”

“I was part of scenes with tons of people in it and we would do it for an entire week. I can’t tell you how many takes we did, but I would guess 200, maybe. I could be wrong and could be way off,” she said.

“Um, I could be underestimating by five days of one scene when I didn’t have one line… ‘You think I can just relax?’ No, because there are probably about nine or 10 different camera angles that had been on me at one point.”

Jonathan Groff attends a For Your Consideration event for his Netflix series Mindhunter on Friday night (June 1) at Raleigh Studios in Los Angeles.

The 33-year-old actor was joined at the event by co-stars Anna Torv, Holt McCallany, and Cameron Britton, as well as director David Fincher.

David opened up about how he had his cast do many, many takes of each scene.

“The scene with Happy [Anderson] was 11 pages. We had three cameras outside the cage, and we’d do a nine-and-a-half-minute take,” David said (via IndieWire). “We didn’t have a break, well we broke for lunch — I would say we did it 75 times in the day.”

“David was really specific with us about every single word, and every single turn of the scene; he was critically specific about the purpose,” Jonathan said. “On the days of shooting, we would go in the room, sit down, and talk about how leaning forward could change the dynamic of a conversation.”
