Netflix's "Mindhunter" (Season 2) - Blu-ray Forum

Oscar Rothman · 12-22-2015, 05:34 PM

HBO has to be kicking itself right now. The prestigious cable network had not one but two potential series in the works with master filmmaker David Fincher, both of which they let slip out of their hands when they refused to meet Fincher’s budgetary needs. Now, following the breakdown of those two projects, the director is going back to where he made his television debut: Netflix.

Per Deadline, Fincher and Oscar-winner Charlize Theron are setting up a TV series adaptation of the bestselling John Douglas and Mark Olshaker book Mind Hunter: Inside the FBI’s Serial Crime Unit. The duo have actually been developing the property for quite some time, but now as Fincher is left with an open schedule, they’re finally setting it up with Netflix to get this thing going

The non-fiction book goes behind-the-scenes of some of former special agent John Douglas’ highest-profile cases from his time pursuing serial killers and rapists, using his profiling techniques to catch the perpetrators. Douglas served as the inspiration for Jack Crawford in Thomas Harris’ The Silence of the Lambs and the character of Will Graham in Harris’ Red Dragon, as well as the popular CBS procedural Criminal Minds.

As with Fincher’s other Netflix series, House of Cards, the filmmaker has enlisted another playwright to pen the script: Sunny Afternoon’s Brit Joe Penhall. He is expected to direct but it’s unclear how extensive his involvement might be beyond the potential pilot. For the scrapped HBO drama series Utopia, he planned to follow in friend Steven Soderbergh’s footsteps and helm every episode of that show’s first season, so it’s possible he may still be eager to attempt that kind of feat with Mind Hunter.

Read a few episodes of this last year and I've got to say it was pretty dry stuff. It's a notch or two further down the pure procedural path of ZODIAC, though the characters are less interesting. Lots of recreations of interviews with famous serial killers but no real action, not even the murders themselves - only what the profilers would have seen and done. Interesting in its way but not a show with mass-appeal; and profiling has been done to death post-SILENCE OF THE LAMBS.

That was a while ago so it may well have all changed since then, of course. Interesting that Scott Buck's back on it as show-runner because he was the one on it initially but "left" many years ago.

Don't worry, Fincher will take it great places. Reading a script can give you only so much of an impression of something when he is involved.

Yes, maybe so. But the truth is, I haven't loved anything he's done since FIGHT CLUB. And he's only directing the pilot anyway.

I have never been so hyped about a movie by movie trailer before.

"Mind Hunter" is actually a netflix/tv series. The good news, Netflix has approved a second season.

Looks interesting. Might give it a try.
