Know the story behind 'Citizen Kane' in David Fincher's 'Mank'

 

Check out the trailer for Mank, a film directed by one of cinema's most dazzling visual stylists David Fincher. 

The film re-evaluates 1930s Hollywood through the eyes of scathing social critic and alcoholic screenwriter Herman J. Mankiewicz as he races to finish the screenplay of Citizen Kane for Orson Welles. For the uninitiated, Citizen Kane is regarded as one of the greatest films in history which won an Academy Award for Best Writing (Original Screenplay) by Herman J. Mankiewicz and Welles.

Mank stars Academy Award Winner Gary Oldman, Amanda Seyfried, Lily Collins, Arliss Howard, Tom Pelphrey, Sam Troughton, Ferdinand Kingsley, Tuppence Middleton, Tom Burke, and Charles Dance. Mank drops on Netflix on Dec. 4.
