David Fincher In Talks to Direct Gone Girl
Tue, January 22, 2013 
Variety reports David Fincher is in talks to direct Gone Girl for 20th Century Fox. Quite the bidding war went down last year for the Gillian Flynn novel.
The simple plot synopsis is a woman disappears on the day of her fifth wedding anniversary and the husband is the prime suspect. That's all she wrote. But knowing the genre, and the fact Fincher is attracted to it, there's presumably more underneath the surface.
It's not a stretch truthfully for Fincher. He's covered this ground before. As much as we're only interested in 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea due to his involvement (Admit it), that presented a challenge. Could Finch use his filmmaking methodology we've come to know for masterworks like Fight Club, Seven or The Social Network for the popcorn crowds?
I'm not complaining. I love that his heart remains with grown-up geared projects and, yeah, because it's Fincher.
