This action-packed thriller, based on the French graphic novel of the same name from 1998, ultimately starred Michael Fassbender in the lead role. However, the director admitted that he initially discussed the role with Brad Pitt.
“I originally planned to offer the role to Brad Pitt back in 2008. However, his response to the offer was, ‘Eh, this is too nihilistic for me.’ We needed someone who could embrace that aspect of the character. Ten years later, when Andy and I were discussing it, I thought of Michael Fassbender,” said David Fincher in an interview with “Rolling Stone.”
David Fincher, in addition to the mentioned films, has also directed movies such as “Alien 3,” “The Game,” “Panic Room,” “Zodiac,” “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo,” and others.
