David Fincher and Netflix Team Up For a Documentary Series VOIR Which Celebrates Cinema
David Fincher has teamed up with Netflix for a new documentary series titled Voir, which is a series of visual essays celebrating cinema. Yesterday, Netflix teased that a new David Fincher project was coming, and fans were hoping that it would be a third season of Mindhunter. Unfortunately, that’s not the case.
One of the writers on the series is Drew McWeeny, who explained that the series would include ten 30-minute essays about “something that intrigues us or upsets us or that has to do with our connection to the movies.” He also said that it’s “not like any other show about movies that you’ve seen.”
As someone who loves watching movies and the art of cinema, this is a series that I’m definitely curious about, as it seems like something that I’d enjoy. What do you think about this new documentary series that’s been announced?
Fincher is the award-winning filmmaker behind “Fight Club,” “Zodiac,” “The Social Network” and Madonna’s “Vogue” music video. He recently signed a four-year film deal with Netflix, having previously worked with the streamer on “House of Cards” and “Mindhunter.” As previously announced, Fincher is directing the Netflix movie “The Killer,” an assassin drama that’s said to star Michael Fassbender.
Some high-profile directors have been outspoken against Netflix and its nontraditional methods for theatrical distribution, but Fincher says he appreciates the freedom he’s been given.
“I’ve never been happier working at a place than I am at Netflix,” Fincher told Variety in a cover story about “Mank.” “It’s a nice thing that movies have a place to exist where you don’t necessarily have to shove them into spandex summer or affliction winter.”
