Directed by David Fincher, Mank features Gary Oldman, Tom Burke, Amanda Seyfried, Lily Collins, Tuppence Middleton, Arliss Howard, and Charles Dance.
In a recent interview, Fincher explained how his new movie Mank reflects his personal nightmarish battles with the studio system while making Alien 3.
After Fincher’s experience making Alien 3, he realized the screenplay for Mank needed to be kinder to auteur filmmaker Welles, and his quest to bring his singular vision to the big screen.
Filmmaker David Fincher’s otherwise spotless filmography is marred by a single black mark, the 1992 sci-fi movie Alien 3.
