Fassbender heads to Venice Film Festival

Michael Fassbender

David Fincher returns to the Venice Film Festival with his Michael Fassbender-starring THE KILLER, more than 20 years after his cult hit FIGHT CLUB sharply divided the festival’s critics. The film follows a cold-blooded assassin who begins to have a psychological crisis in a world with no moral compass. Netflix teased: “Solitary, cold, methodical, and unencumbered by scruples or regrets, a killer waits in the shadows, watching for his next target. Yet, the longer he waits, the more he thinks he’s losing his mind, if not his cool.” The film is slated to debut on Netflix November 10.
