They had me at Michael Fassbender and David Fincher. That’s all I needed for “The Killer” to shoot up my ‘most anticipated’ list. Netflix has released the first teaser trailer for this upcoming action thriller which is based on Alexis Nolent’s French graphic novel series of the same name. This first glance looks scintillating and exactly what I was hoping for after first hearing of the film several years ago.
“The Killer” sees Fassbender in the titular role as an assassin who finds himself the centerpiece of a massive international manhunt. The teaser is very much that – a tease which is all I wanted. It relays the film’s dark and violent tone as well as Fincher’s penchant for creating tense and gritty atmosphere. And it’s great seeing Fassbender on screen. He’s hasn’t been as present as he was a few years ago. Hopefully this is the first of many new projects from the immensely talented actor.
“The Killer” releases in select theaters this October before premiering on Netflix on November 10th. Check out trailer below and let me know if you’ll be seeing it or taking a pass.

Long awaited but worth it. Fincher movies always have the best teasers. Dig the vibe, super excited to see Fassbender in a Fincher noir. If it’s playing nearing me I’m definitely going. Otherwise, this is a minute one watch for me on Netflix.
I’m with you on every point you made. This has the potential to be really special.
Ooh yep, I’m in!
Most definitely!
I honestly think that the David character in Alien: Covenant left a bad taste in my and maybe others’ mouths. Lying low for a bit was probably a good decision for Fassbender, whom I also love. That said, why the HELL is he neutralizing his English accent? His sexy English voice is one that I really like about him! Yes, I will be watching this when it gets to Netflix.
I’m so glad he’s back. Such a tremendous actor. As for the accent, I’m assuming it may be story related? We shall see. Can’t wait.
He’s Irish/German and has an Irish accent not English
Even better. Thanks for the correction and info.
Fuck yeah I’m going to see this. Once I can get Netflix and watch Mank, I will watch this as well. It looks cool while I love the music that is playing as I know it’s the NIN.
Mank was really good and deserved more attention. Really want to rewatch it.
Pass

I’m saving October for Hot Potato: The Story of The Wiggles 💛💜❤️💙
