The Killer: 3 lines the maker said so ×1 the host's read ×2

  1. lineage (adaptation): The Killer (graphic novel) ⇒ The Killer (the maker said so: interviews (Fincher 'gave some interviewers')). Fincher told interviewers he was adapting a French graphic novel about an assassin that he had always liked.
    “he gave some interviewers, like, we're working on this Chinatown thing, and then he was like, I'm also playing with adapting this French graphic novel about the assassin that I've always liked.”

Fun items about it

  1. fun, about The Killer (graphic novel): The comic's killer is described as the most Parisian looking man in history, a French cliche; the film makes him an American from nowhere.
    “This is the frenchest motherfucker of all time.”
