David Fincher might revive ‘Mindhunter' as a Netflix trilogy, reveals actor Holt McCallany
'I had a meeting with David Fincher in his office a few months ago, and he said to me that there is a chance that it may come back as three two-hour movies, but I think it's just a chance,' McCallany said in an interview with CBR. 'I know there are writers that are working, but you know, David has to be happy with scripts,' added the star.
Stating that he felt fortunate and privileged for being a part of Mindhunter, McCallany added that 'the sun, the moon and the stars would all have to align' for the project to materialise. 'So I think that in terms of dates and logistics, it could all be worked out, but it has to do, you know, with David really having the time and the inclination and being happy, you know, with the material. And, you know, that's a big question mark,' he said.
Mindhunter, based on the book Mindhunter: Inside the FBI's Elite Serial Crime Unit, premiered on Netflix in 2017. Set in the 1970s, it followed a special F.B.I. team helmed by agents Bill Tench (McCallany) and Holden Ford (Jonathan Groff) that investigates the minds of serial killers. The second season of the show, which debuted in August 2019, contained hints about a plotline for a possible third season with the cliffhanger of the show featuring the BTK killer.
However, the show wasn't renewed for a third season, with Fincher revealing that the show was a 'costly endeavour' for him and that it was too expensive for the viewership it had. In an interview with Vulture, Fincher said, 'I honestly don't think we're going to be able to do it for less than I did season two. And on some level, you have to be realistic about dollars have to equal eyeballs.' The director further said that the show was a 'lot for me' as he spent six to seven months a year for over three years in Pittsburgh in order to work on the series.
Despite Fincher's statements, fans of the show have been requesting Netflix and the filmmaker to revive the series, and McCallany's statement might just be ray of hope they were looking for.
Notably, McCallany and Fincher are set to reunite for the filmmaker's upcoming Netflix feature, The Adventures of Cliff Booth. The film, written by Quentin Tarantino, expands on the world of one of his most memorable characters from Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.

Bobby Deol recalls friendship with SRK, says Aryan is all set to conquer the world
Shah Rukh Khan's son Aryan Khan's directorial debut, 'The Bads of Bollywood', was unveiled at a grand event on August 20. The Netflix series features an impressive ensemble cast, including Bobby Deol. Playing the role of Ajay Talwar, the actor also reflected on his over three-decade-long friendship with SRK, which continues to remain the launch of Aryan Khan's much-awaited directorial debut, Bobby Deol opened up about being a part of the project. He not only praised Aryan's vision and conviction but also reminisced about watching him grow up as Shah Rukh Khan's 20th of August will always remain special for me. I still remember when Shah Rukh bhai once said, 'Hamare bachche hai, and they want to join the industry'. Today, seeing Aryan take that step feels surreal. I have seen him as a little boy, and then years later, when I heard him speak, there was something magical about him, as if he was ready to conquer the world. And today, here we are, presenting his work, 'The Bads of Bollywood', Deol said. Further, the actor recalled the time when he was offered the role in the series and what made him say yes. 'I clearly remember getting a call from Red Chillies. They said, 'Aryan is doing this show, would you like to be a part of it?' I instantly said yes without a second thought. But Aryan still wanted to narrate it to me himself. I went to the office, sat there for almost seven hours, and listened to the entire script. The conviction with which he narrated it left me amazed. That made me so happy because, as parents, we always wish for our children to be talented and successful. At the same time, we live in fear because we know the struggles we went through to reach where we are,' he the end of his speech, Deol then shared how Aryan's conviction and eye for detail elevated the project, making it an experience unlike any other for the cast.'I feel so lucky to be a part of this show. It's not special because it's Aryan's or Shah Rukh bhai's project, but because it truly is massive. Every actor has performed brilliantly, but it's the director who brings out the soul of the story. To translate what's written on paper into real emotions on screen is not easy, and Aryan has done it beautifully. From the youngest to the most mature characters, he has drawn out the best from everyone. Yes, he pushed us a lot, made us do many takes, and I kept thinking initially that he would go easy on us (laughs),' he preview shows Bobby Deol entering the series as the biggest superstar ever - Ajay Talvar, while Salman Khan makes a special appearance at a bulls**t party, and Ranveer Singh exclaiming "very hard" at the end. Johar, who's good friends with the SRK family, seems to be playing himself - a Bollywood director pissed with people and life in preview also appears to take a dig at celebrities who gain more fame after serving jail time in controversial cases. Sahher Bambba, Manoj Pahwa, Gautami Kapoor, Mona Singh and Rajat Bedi, among others, play important roles.A teaser and trailer for the show are yet to be out. 'The Bads of Bollywood' will premiere on Netflix on September 18.- EndsIN THIS STORY#Shah Rukh Khan
