Fincher needs to pull a Soderbergh and direct every episode.

So that's what Trent Reznor is working on...

This sounds perfect.
He was going to do that on Utopia, which was probably a factor in why he needed so much money for it that HBO eventually balked. Fincher's method of shooting dozens and dozens of takes of everything doesn't come cheaply. Time is money.
House of Card's season 1 second half/season 2 first half is really damn close to that, imo.

But The Expanse is pretty damn good.

Killjoys too. Sy-Fy aren't doing so bad right now...

David Fincher is more than enough for me to become interested in this series.

Nooooooo I was hoping for Charlize
I don't like this chick at all. But oh well if Fincher hired her then she might be good in here
He better direct some episodes.

Finally Anna Torv gets a new gig. It does sound very Fringe-like though.

Yup. All about it
I was afraid that the bump meant bad news. These movie director TV series have a habit of fading away. I hope Fincher takes this one seriously because it is really well suited to his talents and it sounds fantastic. After the massive success of Making a Murder, Netflix needs to make this happen and they need to keep Fincher on-board. If they could get him to direct each episode like True Detective, that would be brilliant. In any case, I am really looking forward to this and a female lead is great news.
Fucking this. If SyFy does make something good then they cancel after one season to fund more intentionally shit films. Hate how they treated Caprica. Grrr. Give me sci if with Daredevil budget and class.... Oh boy.

Anna Torv in a David Fincher tv show? Sign me the fuck up.
She was incredible in Fringe.
Theron is back on a feature film upswing, so that probably wasn't in the cards. There was a better chance of her committing to a series back when this was put into development with HBO back in 2010.
She went and did a few Australian projects since Fringe. Couple movies, a miniseries, another TV thing. She also did that HBO pilot Open that didn't get picked up.

I was really hoping he would do the entire series.

I mean, Expanse, Killjoys, Dark Matter, and The Magicians are solid shows that Syfy is currently producing. They're trying to get back into that swing and their first efforts are pretty good.
Yeah, looks like something for next year.
Wow, this show sounds fantastic. Holt McCallany did a podcast today with Rutten and Ranallo and talked a bit about Mindhunter. He said Fincher wants 5 seasons and the storyline begins in the late 1970s and takes place across 20 years. Seems filming starts this May and wraps at the very end of the year for a 2017 premiere.

Screw you, Fincher! Where's The Girl Who Played with Fire?!
It's dead.

Syfy these days seem to give everything two seasons.
Also..there's no way Expanse doesn't have a lot bigger budget than Daredevil.
Anna Torv? Fuck me that's great. I can't wait to see her again. I loved the hell out of Fringe.
I doubt Fincher will direct all the episodes. The show would never get done otherwise. He's one of the most demanding directors around and meticulous as fuck. I just hope he doesn't leave the series hanging like he did with House of Cards.

+1000. Holt McCallany actually talks about Anna and said her role is "a very good part" in his podcast interview. Sounds like she's got quite a bit of material to work with here.
