Fincher does not precisely move fast. As Jonathan Groff remarked,
“David was particular with us about every single word and every single turn of the scene; he was critically specific about the purpose.” He goes more specific by saying,” On the days of shooting, we would go in the room, sit down, and talk about how leaning forward could change the dynamic of a conversation.”
Mindhunter is extensive, so even if it does come back, we’re in for a very long wait. Thus, we have to wait more!
