David Fincher revealed that he had met Warner Bros. to talk about producing a Harry Potter movie, however, director Se7en and the studio would have had conflicting visions for the project.
“I was asked to come in and talk to them about how I would do Harry Potter,” Fincher told Variety. “I remember saying, ‘I just don’t want to do the clean Hollywood version of it. I want to do something that looks a lot more like Withnail and I, and I want it to be kind of creepy.'”
It was not precisely what Warner Bros. had in mind. Fincher added: “Say: ‘Tom Brown’s school days through Oliver'”. “
Fincher is more productive known for films such as Panic Room, The Social Network, and The Zodiac, so a franchise circle of relatives would have been an unforeseen addition to his filmography. However, there is no stranger to bringing novels to the big screen, with adaptations of Fight Club, Gone Girl and the woman with the dragon tattoo in her credit.
His new film was The Killer, released in 2023 and with Michael Fassbender as Assassin. As for its next project, there have been rumors that will lead an English adaptation of the Netflix squid game of the A Succes series. “I also read news about David Fincher to take a spin-off of a squid game, and it is nothing that was officially shared with me, so it is difficult to comment,” said the author recently about the Hwang Dong-Hyuk program.
“But having said that, as a big fan of David Fincher, you know, I hugely respect a lot of his work. If he actually were to do the spin-off of Squid Game, I personally, as a fan, I am very excited to see what happens. You know, I can’t wait to see what he has in store.”
