Teaser Trailer for the assassin thriller THE KILLER by David Fincher and Michael Fassbender

Netflix has released the first teaser trailer for David Fincheris the highly anticipated next film project The killerwhat stars Michael Fassbender. This is Fincher’s second film with Netflix after Manx, and that leans into the director’s dark crime story style. This is a perfect film project for the director to tackle, and I have no doubt that Fassbender will be great at it. I’m a huge fan of Fincher’s work and this movie is going to be amazing!

The story of the film is an adaptation of Alessio Nolentand the synopsis reads, “After a fateful near miss, an assassin battles his employers and himself, in an international manhunt he insists isn’t personal.”

The book description reads: “A solitary and cold man, methodical and free from scruples or regrets, the assassin waits in the shadows, awaiting his next target. Yet, the longer she waits, the more he thinks he’s losing his mind, if not his composure. A brutal, bloody and stylish noir tale of a professional assassin lost in a world without a moral compass, this is a case study of a lone man, armed to the teeth and slowly losing his mind.

Venice Film Festival director Alberto Barbera, who has seen the film before, shared a positive reaction, saying: “It’s based on a French graphic novel, and the film is very violent. It’s breathtaking from start to finish. Michael Fassbender is fantastic.” He also said he’d be surprised if the film didn’t end up in the Oscar race.

The Killer has been in the works for almost three years and Fincher has re-teamed with the screenwriter of Se7en Andrew Kevin Walker to write the screenplay. The film is also the protagonist Tilda Swinton, Arliss Howard, Charles Parnell and more.

This film will finally premiere at the Venice Film Festival in September with a release on Netflix later this year on November 10, 2023.
