The Killer: David Fincher Says Michael Fassbender Didn’t Blink on Camera

In a recent interview with Empire Magazine (via IGN), The Killer director David Fincher shared one of the things that lead star Michael Fassbender did to prepare for his intense role in Netflix‘s upcoming neo-noir action thriller.

Oscar-nominated filmmaker praised Fassbender for his dedication to his craft, revealing that he didn’t even blink on camera in order to stay true to his character.

“Michael’s eyes betray a lot,” Fincher said. “He can hold a lot of conflicting things in his mind and his eyes allow you access to it. 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. He has this gift as an actor, but clamped on top of it is this incredible discipline about how he subdivides his next move.”

What is The Killer?

“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,” reads the synopsis.

The Killer is directed by Fincher from a screenplay written by Andrew Kevin Walker, based on the French graphic novel series by Alexis Nolent and Luc Jacamon. Joining Fassbender are Charles Parnell, Tilda Swinton, Sophie Charlotte, Sala Baker, Kerry O’Malley, and Arliss Howard.

The film had its world premiere at the 80th Venice International Film Festival. It is currently scheduled to arrive in select theaters on October 27, followed by its streaming debut on November 10 on Netflix.
