David Fincher’s upcoming Netflix psychological thriller The Killer stars Michael Fassbender as an assassin who experiences a crisis of conscience, as seen in the newly released trailer. Watch it below.
Throughout the clip, Fassbender’s titular character repeats his mantra of “stick to the plan” and tenets like “trust no one,” “forbid empathy,” “anticipate, don’t improvise,” “fight only the battle you’re paid to fight,” and “ask yourself, what’s in it for me” in an attempt to remain on course. After a near-miss, however, The Killer must battle both his employers and his crumbling psyche “on an international manhunt he insists isn’t personal,” according to the official logline.
An adaption of the French graphic novel series of the same name written by Matz and illustrated by Luc Jacamon, The Killer has been attached to Fincher since November 2007. Fincher directed the assassin drama from a screenplay written by Andrew Kevin Walker, who previously wrote Fincher’s breakout film, Seven, and also worked on Fight Club and The Game.
The cast also features Arliss Howard, Charles Parnell, Kerry O’Malley, Sala Baker, Sophie Charlotte, and Tilda Swinton, with music composed by Fincher’s frequent collaborators Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross.
The Killer will screen in select theaters in October ahead of its November 10th release on Netflix.
Fincher’s last film was 2020’s Mank, which picked up 10 Oscar nominations, including Best Picture and Best Director. Be sure to check out our definitive ranking of all his movies.
