We’re all wondering when in 2023 David Fincher’s “The Killer” will be released. I did some hard research a few months back, asking around about Fincher’s latest. I got an assortment of different responses, but coming to the conclusion that it was a 2023 release.
The truth is, nobody really knows what’s going on with “The Killer”, not even Netflix (who had no further comment when emailed). They’re just letting Fincher take his time and maybe Cannes could be an option.
With that being said, it sure looks as though the odds are that we’ll be seeing Fincher’s latest during the first or second quarter of 2023. Fincher was also said to have a 3-hour cut of the film, but one look at its Wikipedia page and it says 158 minutes. Not too sure how trust-worthy that can be since just about anyone can edit the page.
“The Killer” started production in November 2021 and wrapped shorting this past March. That’s over 12 months of editing so far, and we all know he takes an obsessively lengthy time in the editing room. My bet is that the film get released in March or April. That’s just a hunch.
The film stars Michael Fassbender as an assassin who begins to psychologically crack as he develops a conscience, even as his clients continue to demand his skills. Tilda Swinton is also part of the cast. “The Killer” is an adaptation of Alexis Nolent’s graphic novel series. ”Seven” screenwriter Andrew Kevin Walker was hired to adapt Nolent’s novels.
Paul Greengrass’ "The Uprising," starring Andrew Garfield, opened to $3.2M from 2,068 theaters this weekend. Yikes. The budget hasn’t been disclosed, but is said to be in the $20-$30M range.
