Two FBI agents plumb the psyches of psychopaths in the new trailer for David FinchersNetflix series, Mindhunter. The show premieres October 13th.
The series is based on John Douglas book Mind Hunter: Inside FBIs Elite Serial Crime Unit. He chronicles his time as a criminal profiler in the FBIs Investigative Support Unit. Set in the Seventies, Finchers Mindhunter stars Jonathan Groff and Holt McCallany as two agents developing new techniques that will allow them to pursue serial killers and rapists.
The Mindhunter trailer highlights Finchers stark aesthetic, recalling films like Zodiac and Se7en.Groff and McCallanys characters encounter brutal murderers, psychologists and FBI brass with little interest in exploring the minds of killers. How do we get ahead of crazy if we dont know how crazy thinks? McCallanys character counters.
Along with Fincher, the 10-episode first season of Mindhunter will featureAmy director Asif Kapadia and Amityville Horror reboot director Andrew Douglas.
