In his latest Vanity Fair interview, THE KILLER star Michael Fassbender breaks down his career, from his first big-screen role in BAND OF BROTHERS to his latest project, starring in Taika Waititi’s NEXT GOAL WINS. Along the way, the Irish-German actor has starred in some of the biggest films of recent times, including HUNGER, 12 YEARS A SLAVE and X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST.
Michael Fassbender’s brooding portrayal of THE KILLER is now on Netflix. Based on Alexis Nolent and Luc Jacamon’s graphic novel of the same name, The Killer follows its unnamed assassin as a botched job propels him into a vendetta that breaks his one rule: never make it personal. Michael Fassbender stars as the titular character, bringing the chilling brutality he so often possesses on screen to its most emotionally detached rendering yet. His assassin is a killing machine, a man whose patience, precision, and physical fitness have made him perfect for his job.
Straight from it’s World Premiere at Venice Film Festival, THE KILLER is earning highly positive reviews. David Fincher’s horribly addictive samurai procedural, adapted by Andrew Kevin Walker from the graphic novel by Alexis Nolent, stars Michael Fassbender as the un-named titular hitman: an ascetic who in the movie’s sensationally low-key opening sequence tells us about dealing with the job’s biggest challenge: boredom. THE KILLER will be released in October in US and UK cinemas and is released on 10 November on Netflix.

Netflix teased: “Solitary, cold, methodical, and unencumbered by scruples or regrets, a killer waits in the shadows, watching for his next target.
