00:00 David Fincher walked the red carpet for the world premiere of his psychological action
00:04 thriller at the 80th Venice International Film Festival on Sunday. Three-time Oscar
00:09 nominee Fincher directs the movie based on a French graphic novel series of the same
00:14 name. The killer is the story of an assassin who, after a fateful near-miss, battles his
00:20 employers and himself on an international manhunt. Michael Fassbender is worryingly
00:26 convincing as an assassin. Fincher expressed concern about the ongoing Hollywood strike.
00:32 I'm very sad. You know, obviously I sit in the middle of both parties. I can see I just
00:40 got off. I mean, this movie was made during the pandemic and I never want to make a movie
00:47 through a visor again with goggles or but having said that, you know, I'm not going
00:53 to make a movie with goggles or but having said that, we just got done with three years
00:58 of having to sort of set our brushes down and walk away. Also screening on the fifth
01:05 day of the festival, the dystopian romance The Beast by French film director Berton
01:10 Bonnello. It stars Lea Seydoux and George McKay and has had positive reviews. It's a
01:16 film about the shock of the new, the realisation that technology is on the point of abolishing
01:21 humanity without our consent. The festival at the Venice Lido runs through to September
01:27 9th.
