David Fincher -- c/d?

very confused at the casting of 62-year-old gary oldman to play someone who was in their 30s and early 40s during the majority of the story, especially when you also have to make him look like shit.

beyond that, what everyone else said--it's a bad script.

have you seen photos of the real mank

he looked like he was 80 when he was 30
oldman was a good choice!

if anything oldman looks too young lol

i feel like if this movie were internally consistent mank would have written his hitpiece script about louis b mayer

a bad pun ignored develops into a long, slurring ad hom attack, digging up stuff from the past. Mank is an ilxor.
