A collective sigh of disappointment hit the internet this morning as a previously teased David Fincher and Netflix announcement was revealed… and it wasn’t a third season of “Mindhunter”.
Instead, the streaming giant revealed that Fincher is producing a new docuseries described as a “collection of visual essays for the love of cinema”.
Titled “Voir,” the work will premiere at AFI Fest next month and will arrive shortly after on Netflix. Veteran online writer Drew McWeeny is involved and said in a statement:
“I can tell you that this is a series of stand-alone video essays about movies. We’re not trying to sell you anything, and we’re not interviewing anyone about what Marvel movies they’re doing.
We’re each tackling a totally different idea, something that intrigues us or upsets us or that has to do with our connection to the movies.
Each one runs between 10 and 30 minutes, and they were produced with the full support and involvement of Fincher and David Prior, who you may know as the director of ‘The Empty Man.'”
Netflix and Fincher previously teamed on drama series”House of Cards” and “Mindhunter,” the animated anthology series “Love, Death and Robots” and the movie “Mank”.
Fincher is next set to helm the assassin thriller “The Killer” starring both Michael Fassbender and Tilda Swinton and penned by Andrew Kevin Walker (“Se7en”).
From executive producer David Fincher…
