Netflix has revealed the official trailer for David Fincher’s The Killer. The latest film stars Michael Fassbender, Tilda Swinton, Charles Parnell, Kerry O’Malley, Sala Baker, and Sophie Charlotte. Here’s how Netflix describes The Killer: “After a fateful near miss, an assassin battles his employers, and himself, on an international manhunt he insists isn’t personal.”

“If I’m effective, it’s because of one simple fact,” Fassbender says in the trailer. “I. Don’t. Give. A. F—.” The Killer sees the titular character demonstrating his day-to-day routine. There are several disguises he follows every time. But, things quickly turn chaotic for him. French comic book series writer Alexis Nolent (Matz) and artist Luc Jacamon provided some fertile storylines for Fincher and Fassbender to play around with. Empire Magazine spoke to them before the SAG-AFTRA strikes started.
“This is the type of film I was salivating to do,” Fassbender revealed. “There’s suspense and intrigue. A slow drip. I love that kind of movie.” He added, “There’s just trying to understand the mind of a sociopath … I try and put together a lifespan, to where the character is now.”
“Michael’s eyes betray a lot … He can hold a lot of conflicting things in his mind and his eyes allow you access to it,” Fincher added. “He’s like Daniel Craig in that way, saying, ‘I can do it better.’ Tell him to stop 1/3 inch shorter and he can fine-tune that technical stuff, while on top of that, he’s got really good ideas about behavior.”
About Fincher’s show Mindhunter Season 3, it’s unlikely to happen. Speaking to Le Journal du Dimanche, Fincher said, “It’s a very expensive show and, in the eyes of Netflix, we didn’t attract enough of an audience to justify such an investment.”
