Lily Collins Joins The Cast Of David Fincher’s Mank
Lily Collins has landed a new role! The young actress is set to join the cast of David Fincher’s new film Mank.
This new film, “Herman Mankiewicz, a reporter and critic in the 1920s, was recruited by Paramount to come to Hollywood and work in the movie business. Mankiewicz worked on numerous now-classic films such as The Wizard of Oz (1939), Pride of the Yankees (1942) and Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (1953), but it was 1941’s Citizen Kane that caused a controversy which would dog him until his death. Both Mankiewicz and Welles worked on the script, but Mankiewicz accused the filmmaker of trying to push him out of the limelight, even saying Welles offered to pay him off in exchange for sole credit.”
Lily will be playing “…Rita Alexander, Mankiewicz’s secretary”. Production is set to start on the film next year.
