The whole set of stills is presented in black and white, and the actors' costumes and settings are also extremely retro. Obviously, this will be a period drama that tells the story of Hollywood's golden age. The film is adapted from the script written by David Fincher's father, Jack Fincher, who died in 2003. It is reported that the film is about the chaotic process of Mankiewicz’s creation of "Citizen Kane". In history, the status of "Citizen Kane" is undoubtedly, perhaps one of the greatest movies in film history, the director and starring Orson Wells made this film a god. Although the film was unanimously recognized by the critics, the only Oscar statuette it won was "Best Original Screenplay." "Best Picture" lost to John Ford's "Green Hills and Green Valley".
In 1940, Mankiewicz and Orson Wells co-wrote the script of "Citizen Kane". Mankiewicz's story was inspired by William Randolph Hurst, the then American newspaper king. At that time, Hirst had a mistress named Marion Davis, who was also a popular star in Hollywood. But because of the scriptwriter's signature issue, he fell out with Wells. After mediation by the screenwriters union, Mankiewicz was eventually the first screenwriter, and the two had the right to sign jointly. "Mank" was completed in North America on February 21 before the outbreak, so it was not affected by the epidemic. And David Fincher is one of the directors who have worked closely with Netflix. In "House of Cards" that made the streaming media famous, Fincher served as a crucial producer. In addition, "Mind Hunter" Netflix exclusive works such as "Love, Death and Robots" are also produced by Vinci.
Currently, the film is scheduled to go online this fall, and it will meet the audience in black and white format. Judging from the theme and cast of "Manke", Netflix may send the film into the awards season.
