Why Brad Pitt Passed On Reuniting With David Fincher For The Killer Explained By Director

The Killer director David Fincher explains why Brad Pitt passed on reuniting with the filmmaker for the movie, and why Michael Fassbender was chosen.

Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The Killer director David Fincher explained why he didn't reunite with Brad Pitt for his new Netflix film, while also revealing why Michael Fassbender was chosen for the lead role. The film follows a jaded assassin who goes on a worldwide journey following a botched mission. Its dark premise aligns with other films from Fincher, including Pitt-led movies like Se7en and Fight Club.

I’d originally been thinking of Brad back in 2008. But his response had been, "Eh, a little too nihilistic for me." OK, so, who? We needed someone who would embrace that aspect of the character. Then a dozen or so years later, when Andy and I were in the middle of hashing it out, I thought of Michael Fassbender. "I’d love to send this to you to read, I don’t know what your life is like now, I know you’re racing…" And a few hours later, he called back and told me he was in.

Why Michael Fassbender Was The Perfect Choice For The Killer Pitt is no stranger to playing major roles in darker films, with the ending of Fincher's Se7en providing him with one of the gloomiest finales throughout his seasoned acting career. His decision to turn down The Killer underscores just how dark and often hopeless the movie can be. Because of the Killer's own unflinching, unfeeling personality, the lead role required an actor who could embody those traits convincingly.
