David Fincher to adapt The Killer, Michael Fassbender in talks to play the lead role

The filmmaker has teamed up with screenwriter Andrew Kevin Walker with whom he previously worked on his critically-acclaimed 1997 movie Seven.

Actor Michael Fassbender is in negotiations to take on the lead role in the movie.

If finalised, he will star as a cold-blooded assassin who begins to have psychological crisis in a world with no moral compass.

Cean Chaffin, Fincher’s longtime producing partner, will back the project.
