Summary
(Hey, he's a master of chiaroscuro.)In 2007, in the wake of completing work on Fincher's true-crime mystery Zodiac, Gyllenhaal alluded to difficulties that arose on set, telling The New York Times that the Mank director "paints with people" and adding, "It's tough to be a color." Now, in a new interview with the Times, Fincher has opened up about what exactly went down, describing it as an “extremely simple” situation."Jake was in the unenviable position of being very young and having a lot of people vie for his attention, while working for someone who does not allow you to take a day off," the filmmaker explained.
