Netflix ha diffuso alcune immagini a colori (messe a confronto con il bianco e nero originale) di Mank, film di David Fincher con Gary Oldman che racconta la storia di Herman J. Mankiewicz, grande sceneggiatore che lavorò a Hollywood dalla fine degli anni Venti. Alcolizzato e spesso in rotta con i produttori, Mankiewicz un giorno venne chiamato da Orson Welles per realizzare il copione di quello che sarebbe poi diventato uno dei film più importanti della storia del cinema: Quarto potere (1941).

 

Now presenting MANK, for the first time in Glorious Color!

Making a film in black & white means every choice must be meticulously examined in color first. In these behind-the-scenes color shots, you can see how Fincher’s department heads created striking moments for the screen. pic.twitter.com/oNqtbzUkXo

“Rather than using color to paint and distinguish, it’s the lack of it that became the challenge because we had to find other ways - different fabrics, textures and tones - to tell each character’s story.

“We tested hundreds of foundations & lipsticks to go from color to black & white...what you thought was working in the makeup trailer may not be working on the set. We narrowed 300 lipsticks down to an eight color palette of different shades." —Gigi Williams, Makeup Head of Dept pic.twitter.com/s3lGHpzYfj
