Here’s everything we know about Mank, a new Netflix film set in 1930s Hollywood…

What is Mank about?

Mank tells the story of screenwriter Herman J. Mankiewicz attempting to finish the script for Orson Welles’ Citizen Kane in 1930s Hollywood. A drinker and gambler who regularly pursues affairs with women, Mankiewicz’s personal life has as much high drama as the movie world he works in.

Directed by David Fincher (Gone Girl, Darkest Hour), the movie is shot in black-and-white. Speaking about how important this decision was in making the film, Producer Eric Roth told Indie Wire: “It’s an incredible piece. He did a black-and-white ’30s movie. It looks like a ’30s movie and feels like one.”
