David Fincher recently revealed that he was considered for the Harry Potter franchise. In an interview with Variety, the Seven director said that he was asked for his take on the Harry Potter films and how he would approach it.<\/p>\n

\u201cI remember saying, \u2018I just don\u2019t want to do the clean Hollywood version of it. I want to do something that looks a lot more like \u2018Withnail and I,\u2019 and I want it to be kind of creepy.\u201d said Fincher. However, on the contrary, Warner Bros. had something more traditional in mind for their series of adaptations of author J.K. Rowling\u2019s best-selling young adult books about the eponymous wizard, as per the report of Variety.<\/p>\n

David Fincher is reportedly working on an American adaptation of Netflix\u2019s popular Korean series Squid Game, as well as a miniseries prequel to Chinatown that he co-wrote with the film\u2019s late screenwriter, Robert Towne.<\/p>\n

Discussing what draws him to new projects, he reflected on what appealed to him about past ones, several of which (Dragon Tattoo, Gone Girl) were based on material that had a pre-existing popularity. Looking back at his superhit film The Social Network, Fincher said, \u201cIt\u2019s just a script that you couldn\u2019t put down.\u201d<\/p>\n

He also shared his love for the film Zodiac. \u201c[The Zodiac killer] was a boogeyman when I was a 7-year-old, and I was kind of going through the process the main character was going through. I felt kindred to that. Benjamin Button, I loved the idea of a romance with that kind of body count. There\u2019s different things about every movie.\u201d said Fincher as quoted by Variety.<\/p>\n
