All the big directors are leaving theaters for Netflix. No studio interference. They let you make whatever you want. No time restrictions in the runtime. No studio saying “cut this, add this” etc... due to Box Office revenue etc...

No studio saying “cut this, add this” etc... due to Box Office revenue etc... don't know how true that totally can be though considering Netflix tried to force Spike Lees hand regarding wanting to use two different types of film as a way to shoot DA 5 Bloods.

I didn't realize it'd be black and white (or shot in a general Wellsian style). I think this is a first for Finchy, who's known for his use of color correction. Looks very nice.

This is a REALLY niche market film idea though. In the 80s it would have been done as a tv movie like the Scarlett O'Hara War was, and that was more mainstream than this idea. Is the screenplay battle over Citizen Kane really cinematic? lol
I was hoping this was about a man who gets turned into a tank.

You can ask the same question about the founding of facebook. In Fincher we trust.

Just because he could make the creation of a phone book interesting doesn't mean it's a good idea for a movie.

you make no sense at all... Plot: a movie about the founding of the social media platform Facebook.
How exciting.
Plot: a fictionalized account of the behind the scenes conflicts on the writing of the screenplay for Citizen Kane.
Even in the annals of traditional film geekdom, it's a low priority kind of story. Not something screaming to be told. Even Ray Bradbury didn't do a straight narrative of his conflicts with John Huston when writing Moby Dick. He added a banshee to it.

well thats your opinion, not at all everyones so yeah. I am confident if you asked most film audiences how much they wanted a film about the writing of Citizen Kane, hahaha never mind. I bet it has the theme that Orson Welles was a jerk and didn't deserve all the accolades he got--that the writer should have had them. Something like that will be the gist of it.

There are other directors who can make Batman fighting Superman banal. It's all relative to their talent.

Yeah but in the downsized and limited universe of corporate film, it means less artistic variety. Just because Fincher can spend $$ to make a phone book movie interesting, does not mean it is the best use of the medium. They spend $$ promoting it when dozens of films could be made at the same time. It's cultural illiteracy, just because it doesn't have a superhero doesn't mean it is not a dumbing down of culture.
It's just the type of cynical project you can imagine a disinterested studio executive would greenlight.
"Hey, how about a movie on John Huston writing the Maltese Falcon?"
"Who's the bad guy?"
"Jack Warner."
"Uh no no-we don't like that. Can you come up with a project where the bad guy is someone who might remind people of Trump?"
