We’re all wondering when in 2023 David Fincher’s “The Killer” will be released. The truth is, nobody really knows what’s going on with “The Killer”, not even Netflix. They’re just letting Fincher take his time ..
At least we have a few minutes of behind-the-scenes footage from this Le Mans documentary (go to the three-minute mark). Not much to chew on, but we’ll take it for now.
Fincher was said to have a 3-hour cut of the film, but one look at its Wikipedia page and it lists “The Killer” as being 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.
Netflix and Skydance Animation have also called it quits. The two sides announced Monday that they're ending the animated film deal struck back in 2023, framing it as a mutual decision.
