Who Is David Fincher?
David Fincher may not be the first name you think of when it comes to sci-fi, but in fact his feature directorial debut was 1992’s Alien 3.
He needed to wait another three years before the world became much more familiar with his name after the premiere of the game-changing crime thriller Se7en. Before then, he was known chiefly as a music video director, working with artists like Madonna, Nine Inch Nails, Billy Idol, The Rolling Stones, and Michael Jackson.
It was right before the streaming debut of Fincher’s Oscar-winning Mank, according to The Playlist, when David Fincher signed a four-year exclusive deal with Netflix. Since then, he’s directed one episode of the animated anthology series Love, Death & Robots and his neo-noir film The Killer — starring Michael Fassbender and Tilda Swinton — is set to premiere on the platform November 10.
Fincher’s History With Netflix
David Fincher has done much more work for the streamer as a producer since signing the four-year deal. As well as continuing as a producer on Love, Death & Robots, he’s been a producer on the series Voir, last year’s documentary Is That Black Enough For You?!?, the upcoming biopic Lange, and the Chinatown prequel series.
The acclaimed director enjoys a longer history with Netflix than most. Considering he was an executive producer on House of Cards — one of Netflix’s first original hits — and directed the first two episodes of the series, you could argue David Fincher was instrumental in transforming the streamer into an original content powerhouse. He went on to work as director and producer on Netflix’s Mindhunter.
