David Fincher is making his way back to film directing. Since directing Gone Girl in 2014 and being unfairly snubbed by The Academy, he decided to focus his efforts on TV shows like House of Cards and Mindhunter for Netflix. Today, we learned the drought is over! He will be directing Mank, a black and white film about the writer of Citizen Kane, Herman Mankiewicz. Gary Oldman will star as the lead character. The script was written by David Fincher’s father before he died. Mank will be distributed by Netflix so audiences shouldn’t get too excited for a theatrical release. There’s no official release date, but production is rumored to start for the film in November of this year.
