Netflix has three new Oscar contenders coming our way next month, in the form of David Fincher’s Mank, George Clooney’s The Midnight Sky, and Chadwick Boseman’s final role – as a blues musician in Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom. Check out everything new to Netflix below.
Mank
More infoNow playing in limited release in select North Island cinemas, Mank chronicles the creation of Orson Welles’ masterpiece Citizen Kane. Alcoholic screenwriter Herman J. Mankiewicz (Gary Oldman) is the subject of David Fincher’s old school Hollywood tale, filmed in black and white to emulate the era. Mank details Mankiewicz’s writing process and the experiences he brought to his screenplay—including his history with William Randolph Hearst (the blueprint for Charles Foster Kane). And, not to mention, Mank’s contentious relationship with Orson Welles (Tom Burke)… Amanda Seyfried (First Reformed), Lily Collins (Emily in Paris) and Charles Dance (Game of Thrones) co-star.
