David Fincher's hitman movie, The Killer, has more than just a star-studded cast. The BBC's very own Fiona Bruce makes a surprisingly delightful cameo in the upcoming Netflix film. Michael Fassbender, known for his role in X-Men: Days of Future Past, stars as the unnamed assassin tasked with navigating his way through a global manhunt.
The Killer is a dark yet humorous thriller, as Fassbender's hitman confronts his own morality and explains his methods to the audience. He visits Paris, New York, and the Dominican Republic, and encounters a variety of characters, including Charles Parnell and Tilda Swinton.
Unexpectedly, viewers hear the familiar voice of Fiona Bruce as she introduces an episode of Antiques Roadshow during a tense cat-and-mouse game in a waterfront home in Florida. British audiences will recognize Bruce from her various hosting jobs, including Question Time and Sunday night's favorite, Antiques Roadshow.
The presence of Bruce in this scene is an intentional choice by filmmaker David Fincher, who also included an unexpected musical element in The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. During that film, a fierce altercation between Daniel Craig's journalist Mikael Blomkvist and Stellan Skarsgård's CEO Martin Vanger is accompanied by Enya's soothing yet jaunty Orinoco Flow.
The Killer will make its world premiere at the 2023 BFI London Film Festival alongside Bradley Cooper's headline-grabbing Leonard Bernstein biopic Maestro, Sofia Coppola's Priscilla, Poor Things with Emma Stone and Mark Ruffalo, and Martin Scorsese's latest film with Leonardo DiCaprio, Killers of the Flower Moon. Also playing at the festival is the world premiere of the hotly anticipated Aardman sequel Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget, 23 years after the original.
The Killer will be available in limited cinemas on October 27 before streaming on Netflix from November 10. Who knows what other unexpected surprises are in store?
