In anticipation of his new film, The Killer, coming to Netflix on November 10, I tip-toed through the tulips of my favorite director’s filmography and came away thinking that if David Fincher ever decided to fully wade into the waters of the horror genre?
We’d all be in deep shit. In the best of ways.
Here are the most messed up and depraved moments of David Fincher’s career… so far.
Hugging Ed Kemper – “Mindhunter” Season 1, Episode 10 (2017)
David Fincher has an amazing way of taking a simple moment and making it more intense than drinking Mountain Dew while snowboarding over a volcano. He made a movie about Facebook and it’s one of my all-time favorites for Christ’s sake.
In this scene, we have a simple conversation between two men in a hospital room that still somehow leaves you looking for Ray Finkle and a new pair of shorts.

Jana Monroe, former FBI agent and author of the upcoming memoir Hearts of Darkness: Serial Killers, The Behavioral Science Unit and My Life as a Woman in the FBI has signed with Rain.
Monroe was the inspiration and coach behind Jodie Foster’s Oscar-winning role as Clarice Starling in The Silence of the Lambs. Throughout her career, she has consulted on more that 850 homicide cases, including serial killers Ted Bundy, Jeffrey Dahmer, and Ed Kemper and was the first and, at the time, only female agent in the FBI’s Behavioral Sciences Unit at Quantico. She later became the first assistant director of the FBI’s Cyber Division.

David Tennant took on one of his darkest roles to date when he played Dennis Nilsen – the notorious “Muswell Hill Murderer” who killed at least 12 young boys and men in North London from 1978 to 1983 – in ITV’s Des.
Tennant was the latest in a long line of actors to dramatise the lives of some of the world’s most prolific murderers – and it’s easy to see why such a part would be appealing. Playing a serial killer allows an actor to show their range and move away from being typecast. For those who’ve gone before them, such roles have been known to make a career, winning Oscars, Golden Globes and Baftas for those who take them on.
However, portraying serial killers obviously comes with its own set of challenges. These are people audiences know well, so do they mimic them word for word or do their own interpretation,...

We’ve been seeing a steady stream of casting news for the thriller Hope, the new film from Korean director Na Hong-Jin (The Wailing). First, it was announced that Michael Fassbender (Prometheus) and Alicia Vikander (Tomb Raider), who happen to be married to each other, had signed on to star in the film. Then Hoyeon, who made her screen debut in the hit Netflix series Squid Game, joined the cast, and soon after Taylor Russell of Escape Room and Bones and All was added to the mix. Now Deadline reports that Cameron Britton, best known for playing Ed Kemper in the Netflix series Mindhunter and Hazel on The Umbrella Academy (also from Netflix), has signed on to play a role in the film. Details on his character are being kept under wraps… in fact, the only character detail we do know is that Hoyeon will be playing a policewoman.

Among the dozens of chilling lines delivered by Ed Kemper (Cameron Britton) in “Mindhunter,” one of the most instructive for understanding David Fincher’s filmography is Kemper’s simple definition of the serial killer: “people who hunt other people for a vocation.”

When you have a show like "Mindhunter," it seems only natural that filming would often be an intense and emotionally draining experience. I mean, the show's whole premise is about getting into the heads of famous serial killers, for god's sake. The on-screen interactions that FBI Agents Bill Tench (Holt McCallany) and Holden Ford (Jonathan Groff) have with serial killers like the Son of Sam and Ed Kemper are often difficult to even just watch, so one can only imagine what it must be like to fully embody those characters and act through those scenes on set.

Last month, Danny Kiranos had enough of being stuck at home. The lack of movement during the pandemic over the last year was weighing on the singer-songwriter, who performs under the moniker Amigo the Devil.
“I got cabin fever so I packed a bag, put some stuff in the car and I’ve literally been driving,” Kiranos says. “I started going north, I didn’t have much of a plan.”
He headed out from his home base in Austin, Texas, drove through Colorado, Wyoming, and Montana, making a pit stop at Yellowstone along the way.

Gather round, Mindhunter fans, because author John Douglas is releasing a brand-new book with writer and filmmaker Mark Olshaker based on Douglas's career spent interviewing violent offenders for the FBI. One of the first criminal profilers and a true pioneer in the behavioral-science method of law enforcement, Douglas has interviewed murderers like Charles Manson, Ed Kemper, and David Berkowitz. His latest book, A Killer's Shadow, details the complicated case of serial killer and bank robber Joseph Paul Franklin, a white supremacist who is suspected of murdering more than 20 people in the 1970s and '80s.
A high-priority case for the FBI, Franklin targeted Black and Jewish citizens as well as interracial couples during his violent spree. He roamed around the country and often shot his victims with a long-range rifle, and confessed to wounding civil rights leader Vernon Jordan and shooting well-known magazine publisher Larry Flynt. His transient tendencies made...

This article contains spoilers for The Boys season 2.
Most male monsters in fiction are made by women. Or, at least, it’s women who tend to get the disproportionate share of the blame when their creations turn out to be significantly less than civilized. The most famous examples of murderer-moulding mothers are probably Norma Bates, Cersei Lannister, Olivia Soprano and, of course, Mrs. McAllister (momma raised a real little trap-setting psycho there). In real life, too, serial killers like Ed Kemper, Ed Gein, Ted Bundy and Dennis Nilsen were all brutalized or disappointed by their mothers to such an extent that to some people the link between their formative maternal experiences and their misdeeds seems as tight and as strong as a steel cable.
This isn’t the case with Amazon’s The Boys, where it’s bad or inadequate fathers who provide male characters with the bulk of their nefarious neuroses and murderous motivations.

No matter how long the coronavirus-induced quarantine regulations will last, we’ll never run out of things to watch. Should you have already completed your personal watch list though, fear not, as internationally acclaimed horror and thriller writer Stephen King has you covered. And the best part is, all his picks are available on Netflix.
Mostly, King’s collection includes some predictably gory and suspenseful entries. His first, for instance, is the 2019 zombie apocalypse web drama Black Summer. Set in the same universe as the ambitious Syfy show Z Nation, it follows a team of ordinary people as they embark on a quest to transport the single survivor of a zombie virus plague from New York to California. King had some very lofty things to mention about the show in his recent tweet, and watching it during an actual pandemic might amp up the scare factor, too.

This level of curiosity is natural and encouraged by the respective storytelling mediums and this new episode of My Hero Academia successfully taps into that inquisitive passion. There’s been a lot of doom and gloom in this season of My Hero Academia and while the second half of this year has been considerably more upbeat, “Japanese Hero Billboard Chart” creates a playful energy that’s a lot of fun and the right reward for the end of this season.

After season 1 of “Mindhunter” spent most of its time outside work — that is, in scenes that aren’t focused on the FBI’s study of serial killers — with Holden Ford (Jonathan Groff), season 2 goes a different way. This time around, the Netflix series focuses very little on Holden’s personal life, instead spending a lot more time with the other two main members of his team, Dr. Wendy Carr (Anna Torv) and Bill Tench (Holt McCallany)
For Bill, his personal story revolves around an incident with his son, Brian (Zachary Scott Ross), which threatens to tear the Tench family to pieces. Early in the season, the corpse of a toddler is found in a house that is being sold by Bill’s wife Nancy (Stacey Roca), who has started working as a realtor.

(Some spoilers ahead for season 2 of Netflix’s “Mindhunter”)
The first season of “Mindhunter” on Netflix included a bunch of strange scenes about a guy who didn’t seem to have anything to do with the main plot. And that’s true — these scenes were only thematically linked to the main story, because that guy was Dennis Rader, aka the Btk Killer.
Season 2 changed the game a bit, however. In the second episode, Bill Tench (Holt McCallany) of the FBI’s Behavioral Science Unit flies to Kansas to look into the Btk case — which has hit a lull as the serial killer has been dormant for a while — and in the rest of the season they call back to what they know about Btk as they investigate the Atlanta Child Murders.
The highlight of that Kansas visit was Bill’s early morning chat with the only known survivor of a Btk attack,...

While on the phone with Mahoney, Hurley warned that his cellphone battery was low; when she asked for his exact location, someone in the background yelled, “99 Nashua Street,” before the line went dead.

[Editor’s Note: The following review contains spoilers for “Mindhunter” Season 2, including the ending.]
While fully utilizing David Fincher’s icy aesthetic and featuring just enough creepy prison visits to satiate expectations, “Mindhunter” makes a lot of savvy changes in Season 2. Most noticeable (and necessary) is a protagonist switch, as Holt McCallany’s endearing buzzcut of a cop, Bill Tench, takes center stage over the single-minded know-it-all Holden Ford, played with a curiosity-invoking detachment by Jonathon Groff. That early shift sets up more to come, as the research-based behavioral analysis seen in Season 1 gets pushed into early field testing in Season 2. The Btk Killer (Sonny Valicenti) looms over the series yet again — like a big bad in training who, instead of lifting weights or recruiting an army, practices autoerotic asphyxiation in a doll mask — but these nine episodes examine how public scrutiny and systemic political issues can tarnish noble intentions.

A new season of Netflix's Mindhunter dropped Friday, and among the infamous characters profiled is Charles Manson.
Before the cult leader, played by Damon Herriman (who also played Manson in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood) is even onscreen, his small stature is mentioned.
"Manson is really small, like really small. Try not to stare," says Ed Kemper, played by Cameron Britton.
And it is true Manson was short, but he was not as short as was reported, which apparently was a point of contention with him.

And it is true Manson was short, but he was not as short as was reported, which apparently was a point of contention with him.
Letting his guard down while the camera was ...

1. “Glow” Season 3 (available August 9)
Why Should I Watch? The first two seasons of “Glow” were among the best reviewed of their given years, and there’s no reason to suspect Season 3 won’t keep the streak going. Starring the dynamite duo of Alison Brie and Betty Gilpin, “Glow” is a vivid, exciting, perceptive, funny, enlivening, well-acted, and beautifully captured comedy about a group of women wrestlers in the ’80s who band together to put out a compelling TV program built around their unique talents and personalities. “Glow” thrives by mimicking that same ambition, and Season 3 sees them relocating to Las Vegas, where they’ll host live events at one of the casinos. Expect more neon than ever, along with new series regular Geena Davis.

If you barely got Ed Kemper out of your mind after the terrifying first season of Netflix's Mindhunter, you'll want to brace yourself for more chilling criminal investigations. In August, the twisty series is returning for a second season, this time tackling the tragic Atlanta Child Murders, during which at least 29 black children were kidnapped and murdered between 1979 and 1981. Officials unofficially claimed that then-23-year-old music producer Wayne Williams was likely responsible for the murders, but this conclusion has been widely contested. Keep reading to unpack the tragic case and its status today as the series tackles it four decades later.
How the Case Connects to the Series
In his book Mind Hunter: Inside the FBI's Elite Serial Crime Unit, former FBI profiler John E. Douglas, the inspiration for series protagonist Holden, wrote that "forensic and behavioral evidence points conclusively to Wayne Williams as the killer of eleven young men in Atlanta.

There aren’t enough content warnings in the world for the story of Ed Kemper and Herbert Mullin, two serial killers who simultaneously stalked Santa Cruz in 1972 and 1973. They’re the subject of our latest “Shoot This Now” podcast, available on Apple or Spotify or right here:
On every episode of “Shoot This Now,” we talk about stories we’d like to see made into films. Kemper, a 6’9” figure with a high Iq, has been onscreen before: Cameron Britton’s portrayal of him is a highlight of Netflix’s “Mindhunter.” As we explain on the podcast, the story of his and Mullin’s overlapping murder sprees remind us of “Zodiac” meets “Donnie Darko” — times two.
Kemper posed as a wanna-be cop and Good Samaritan to lure hitchhikers into his car and do horrific things. Mullin believed his murders were human sacrifices to prevent earthquakes. Their paths eventually crossed.

You might think Cameron Britton is at risk of being typecast now that he’s playing yet another serial killer on Netflix, but the hired assassin he plays on “The Umbrella Academy” couldn’t be more different from his chilling turn as real-life psychopath Ed Kemper on “Mindhunter.” If anything, he and his on-screen partner Mary J. Blige bring a sense of levity and absurdity to the superhero drama. They’re among the most perfectly matched mismatched partners on TV.
“Umbrella Academy” tells the story of six dysfunctional adopted siblings with superpowers — seven, if you count the one who’s a ghost. They were trained all their lives to save the world, but they’ve all been scarred in one way or another by their father Reginald (Colm Feore) and his downright abusive parenting and training style.

David Fincher and Joe Penhall’s Netflix original series “Mindhunter” is returning sometime this year, and yet that’s all the streaming giant has confirmed for Season 2. Netflix is being extra cautious when it comes to the new season and has not revealed any official details. What fans do know about “Mindhunter” Season 2 has come strictly from sources close to production (see the Season 2 director’s roster), or teases made by Fincher during interviews. “Mindhunter” Season 2 is being so secretive that recurring cast member Cameron Britton can’t even confirm or deny his involvement in the series moving forward.
Speaking to RadioTimes while promoting his role in Netflix’s “The Umbrella Academy,” Britton remained cryptic when pushed to answer whether or not his “Mindhunter” serial killer and breakout character Ed Kemper will return at some point in the new episodes. “Netflix pulls those memories out of me,” Britton answered. “I...

This may come as a surprise, but there’s a new show coming up about a group of people with special powers who have to save the world from destruction. While it may be a familiar premise, this newest look at the upcoming Netflix adaptation of “The Umbrella Academy” seems like it might be swapping in some brooding moodiness for a fight against evil that’s a little funnier.
The show, based on the graphic novel series of the same name by Gerard Way and Gabriel Bá, follows a group of ragtag superheroes all joined by a bizarre common link: They were all born spontaneously on the same day nearly 30 years ago. Now, they’re charged with averting a global apocalypse in the span of eight days.

Netflix’s drama “Mindhunter,” from creator Joe Penhall, takes viewers through an account of a massive paradigm shift in criminal psychology: the creation of the phrase “serial killer,” which revolutionized how the FBI hunt and capture these criminals. To do that, two federal agents travel across the country to profile the biggest and baddest killers of the 20th century, including the infamous serial murderer Ed Kemper, played here with chilling, understated intensity by Cameron Britton. Kemper is tall yet soft-spoken, an unpredictable force of energy squinting owl-eyed through thick glasses. Britton, who is now nominated for a 2018 Emmy Award for Outstanding Guest Actor in a Drama Series, spoke to Backstage about working with executive producer David Fincher, what it takes to embody a famous person, and what it’s like to be nominated for playing one of the scariest killers in modern history.

You can't always pinpoint exactly the moment when a show makes its big qualitative leap, but with Netflix's Mindhunter, it's easy. Holden Ford (Jonathan Groff), an FBI agent experiencing frustration at his colleagues' antiquated approach to murder investigation, goes to prison to visit a notorious killer and comes face-to-face with Ed Kemper (Cameron Britton).
Towering in stature, soft-spoken, viewing the world inquisitively through thick glasses, Kemper is intellectually vicious, yet unfailingly polite. By the end of one 10-minute conversation, we understand completely why Holden has been pulled into Kemper's gravity and how this giant has instantly transformed ...

Cameron Britton realizes “you don’t get characters often that are that in-depth, especially as a guest star,” so he relished the opportunity to play serial killer Ed Kemper in the Netflix series “Mindhunter,” for which he’s nominated for an Emmy for Best Drama Guest Actor. But that doesn’t mean it was easy to get into the mind of a psychopath — or to get out of it. Watch our exclusive video interview with Britton above.
At first Britton didn’t realize Kemper was a real person. “The first thing I saw was him talking about being a regular guy most of his life,” he explains. “Then he says, ‘But at the same time I was living a vile, depraved, entirely parallel other life filled with mayhem and death.'” Then Britton “went down a rabbit hole” of research.

According to hundreds of Gold Derby users currently predicting the Creative Arts Emmys, Cameron Britton (“Mindhunter”) is the front-runner to win Best Drama Guest Actor for his role as real-life serial killer Ed Kemper. But on paper that might seem unlikely. “Mindhunter” got no other nominations, so can he really take down actors from Best Drama Series contenders like “This is Us” (Gerald McRaney and Ron Cephas Jones), “The Crown” (Matthew Goode) and “Westworld” (Jimmi Simpson)? To win under those circumstances is somewhat rare, but not unprecedented.
The Emmys introduced guest-acting categories in 1986, and since then eight people have won on their shows’ only nomination. It happened three times in Best Comedy Guest Actor: Cleavon Little, Tim Conway and Peter Scolari.
It happened three times in Best Drama Guest Actress: Viveca Landfors, Amanda Plummer and Cloris Leachman.

Cameron Britton talks about becoming Ed Kemper – I was late to the party on Netflix’s series Mindhunter, which chronicles the early days of the FBI's profiler division, but it was hands-down one of the best shows of last year. Part of the reason it’s so compelling is thanks to Cameron Britton's portrayal of co-ed killer Ed Kemper. If you’ve ever seen an interview with the real Kemper, then you know that Britton nails the guy's way of speaking, his look and his mannerisms in a really eerie way.

Filmmaker David Fincher is known as a meticulous stylist, which requires strong collaborations with the creative artists working behind the scenes. So to promote his latest effort, the Netflix psychological thriller “Mindhunter,” he joined costume designer Jennifer Starzyk, production designer Steve Arnold and cinematographer Erik Messerschmidt at a recent Fysee event for Emmy voters. We talked to Starzyk, Arnold and Messerschmidt on the red carpet for the event. Scroll down and click on their names below to watch their complete interviews.

And Fincher’s collaboration with production designer Steve Arnold (“House of Cards”) and gaffer-turned cinematographer Erik Messerschmidt (“Mad Men”) was crucial to the authentic ’70s look and dynamic blocking of the interrogation scenes, particularly those involving Ed Kemper (Cameron Britton), who captivates and mentors Holden.
