David Fincher And Charlize Theron At Work On New HBO Show

So take the word that he and Charlize Theron are  developing Mind Hunter, an HBO series based on the John Douglas and Mark Olshaker book Mind Hunter: Inside the FBI’s Elite Serial Crime Unit, with a basic ‘wait and see’ attitude. 

Remember that Fincher is also working as producer on an adaptation of the UK mini-series House of Cards. That one is a partnership with his The Curious Case of Benjamin Button screenwriter Eric Roth.

This, by the way, has nothing to do with the 2004 Renny Harlin movie Mindhunters. Despite the title, that was based on a Wayne Kramer spec script called Unsub. Kramer was reportedly less than pleased with the name change to Mindhunters, because of the existing book. Too bad about the lack of relation, as I was hoping to see a cameo appearance from frozen Christian Slater.
