Inspired by a screenplay penned by his late father, David Fincher's
Mank stars Gary Oldman as Hollywood
screenwriter Herman J. Mankiewicz as he works on the script for a little movie named
Citizen Kane.
Shot in black and white to evoke 1930s Hollywood, Mank also
stars Amanda Seyfried, Lily Collins, Arliss Howard, Tom Pelphrey, Sam
Troughton, Ferdinand Kingsley, Tuppence Middleton, Tom Burke
and Charles Dance.
Mank is on Netflix from December 4th, and fingers crossed
it will find its way into UK/ROI cinemas.
Check out the first teaser below.
The official synopsis reads:
1930s Hollywood is reevaluated through the eyes of scathing social critic and alcoholic screenwriter Herman J. Mankiewicz (Gary Oldman) as he races to finish the screenplay of Citizen Kane.
