Directed by David Fincher, Mank stars Gary Oldman, Tom Burke, Amanda Seyfried, Lily Collins, Tuppence Middleton, Arliss Howard, and Charles Dance.
Gary Oldman, who played the lead in Fincher’s latest film Mank, understands the reason for so many retakes, as the veteran actor explained to IndieWire in a recent interview.
Some actors have had issues with Fincher’s obsession with retakes, most notably Jake Gyllenhaal on the sets of Zodiac.
Still, for Oldman, Fincher’s meticulousness is worth the effort, and it is due to those efforts that the actor described Mank as one of the most “transportive” movies of his long and distinguished career.
