In an exciting addition to the 2023 New York Film Festival lineup, David Fincher’s highly anticipated noir thriller, The Killer, will be featured in the festival’s spotlight selection.

The Killer initially competed in Venice and is set to make its streaming debut on Netflix on November 10.

Ceán Chaffin serves as a producer on the project.
