David Fincher says his scrapped ‘World War Z’ sequel was similar to ‘The Last Of Us’

This may ruffle some feathers: speaking to Le Monde about his latest film “The Killer,” David Fincher made some semi-controversial remarks regarding the state of the filmmaking industry. His take?  Netflix, the streamer that’s produced his last two films, is the best place in Hollywood to make movies right now.

In an era when streaming series are seemingly dumped and then quickly forgotten or just canceled after a season or two, there exists an outlier— “Slow Horses.” This is a series that hasn’t really dominated the streaming charts, but for some reason, Apple TV+ not only keeps renewing it, but the series has a new season, like clockwork, each year. And so, even though many of you might not have seen the series, here’s your first look at Season 3 of “Slow Horses.” READ MORE: ‘The Family Plan’ Trailer: Mark Wahlberg Is A Former Assassin & Current Suburban Dad In Apple TV+ Action-Comedy For those who haven’t yet hopped on the “Slow Horses” saddle, the series follows the story of a misfit group of British intelligence officers who have been sent to the dumping ground for those who aren’t the top MI5 agents.

David Guetta has insisted that he’s never faked his live shows or performed a pre-recorded set.The French DJ and producer refuted allegations that he uses a pre-planned mix instead of spinning and mixing tracks live.He was responding to comments made by Canadian DJ Deadmau5, who accused Guetta more than a decade ago of turning up at sets to just “press play”. Back in 2015 Deadmau5 also called Guetta a “stupid fuck” for using live horses in nightclub appearance.Guetta responded to the allegation at the time, saying: ”For so many years I DJed in clubs and learned the hard way.”He’s since circled back on the debate, telling the Daily Star’s ‘Wired’ column (via Music News): “I was looking online at Deadmau5 who was saying every DJ, including me, is playing a pre-recorded set.“I won’t speak for other people, but I’ve never done that.

Zack Sharf Digital News Director The holiday movie season kicks off in November, and the streamers are providing no shortage of Christmas movies to subscribers this month.

Though many might consider David Fincher an auteur filmmaker who is probably above making superhero films, that wasn’t always the case. Early in his career, after the success of “Se7en,” it appears Fincher was brought in by Sony to pitch the studio about what his version of “Spider-Man” might look like.

Zack Sharf Digital News Director David Fincher was recently asked by The Guardian about how his 1999 directorial effort “Fight Club” has become a favorite amongst incels and far-right groups for depicting disenfranchised white men coming together to rally against capitalist society. The director distanced himself from such a topic, telling the publication, “I’m not responsible for how people interpret things…Language evolves. Symbols evolve.” “Ok, fine,” Fincher replied when the Guardian writer said “Fight Club” has become a touchstone for the far right.

If you’re a fan of David Fincher, you know the filmmaker has flirted with the idea of sequels in the past. Most notably, the director was long attached to a sequel to the hit horror film, “World War Z.” However, in recent years, there has been quite a bit of chatter about a sequel to his award-winning 2010 film, “The Social Network.” Obviously, there’s plenty of new developments in the social media world to warrant another film, but in addition, writer Aaron Sorkin has even teased the possibility of it happening.

Fight Club, and that he “can’t help” people who don’t understand that Tyler Durden is a “negative influence”.In the film, Edward Norton plays an unnamed, discontented man who forms an underground fighting network with strict rules with Tyler Durden (Brad Pitt), who persuades him to expand the club into the anti-consumerist organisation Project Mayhem.Many have observed that the film, which is based on the transgressive 1996 novel by Chuck Palahniuk, anticipated the rise of so-called ‘incels’, short for ‘involuntary celibates’, or straight men who believe their lack of sexual activity is due to political and societal structures.Speaking to The Guardian, Fincher said, “I’m not responsible for how people interpret things. Language evolves.

David Fincher isn’t quite ready to give a “like” to the concept of doing a sequel to his 2010 Academy Award-winning film about the founding of Facebook, The Social Network.

Zack Sharf Digital News Director Before Sam Raimi landed the directing gig on Sony’s 2002 comic book tentpole “Spider-Man,” it was David Fincher who met with the studio to try and get his own spin on the web-slinger to the big screen. In a new interview with The Guardian to mark the release of his latest movie, “The Killer,” the director remembered not seeing eye to eye with the studio over what a “Spider-Man” movie could be. They wanted an origin story, but he wanted to skip over the whole “bitten by a radioactive spider” part and focus on a grown-up Peter Parker.

David Fincher‘s The Killer hits select cinemas today (October 27), before it streams on Netflix from November 10, and comes with a huge soundtrack.The film – as with many Fincher movies including The Social Network, The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, Gone Girl and Mank – features a score from Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross as well as a host of songs including many by The Smiths.Discussing the prominence of The Smiths on the soundtrack, Fincher said (via Indiewire): “The Smiths were a post-production addition because I knew I wanted to use ‘How Soon is Now?’ and I love the idea of that song specifically as a tool for assuaging his anxiety. I liked it as a meditation tape, I thought it was amusing and funny.”He added: “I don’t think that there’s a library of music by recording artists that have as much sardonic nature and wit simultaneously [as the Smiths].

With “The Killer,” David Fincher finds himself in familiar territory: working again with “Se7en” scribe Andrew Kevin Walker on a lean, mean adaptation of a pulpy crime plot. And how well Fincher excels in fare like that–whether it’s stuff like “Panic Room” or his take on airport reads like “Gone Girl“–is why he’s one of his generation’s most beloved filmmakers.

David Fincher has opened up about how his idea for a Spider-Man movie was rejected by Marvel in the ’90s.In a new interview with The Guardian the Fight Club director revealed that he pitched an idea for a Spider-Man film in 1999. His version would skip past the “bitten by a radioactive spider” part of Spider-Man’s origin story and focus on Peter Parker as an adult instead.“They weren’t fucking interested,” he told The Guardian.

Netflix has a bunch of anticipated films left on their 2023 release calendar, but maybe none more so than David Fincher‘s “The Killer.” And the director’s follow-up to 2020’s “Mank” sees him in familiar territory: adapting a hardboiled thriller in a way only he can. READ MORE: David Fincher On Why He Chose To Use The Smiths In ‘The Killer’: “I Thought It Was Amusing And Funny” Fincher reunites with “Se7en” scribe Andrew Kevin Walker for his latest feature, about an assassin who gets caught in an international manhunt after a hit goes wrong.

After three films, and dwindling box office returns for each successive movie, the “Fantastic Beasts” franchise may officially be over. Variety reports (via Total Film) that David Yates, who helmed all three of “Harry Potter” prequels (and the final four in the original franchise) revealed in a new interview that the series is “parked.” And it’s news to him that the plan all along was for “Fantastic Beasts” to be a five-film series.

Once upon a time, David Fincher‘s follow-up to 2014’s “Gone Girl” would have been a sequel to the 2013 blockbuster “World War Z.” But Fincher’s entry into blockbuster filmmaking never happened, with Paramount eventually scrapping the project by 2019. But what did one of Hollywood’s most distinct visual stylists have in mind for the sequel? Deadline reports (via GQ UK) that Fincher described his take as similar to a hit HBO series with a similar backdrop.

David Fincher is opening up about the scrapped World War Z sequel and revealing that it was going to be like HBO’s The Last of Us.

OMG this is truly rich! Not only is David Eason a total monster who kills dogs… he’s also a s**tty husband in all the boring, run-of-the-mill ways??
