Shot entirely in black and white, the movie stars Gary Oldman as screenwriter Herman J. Mankiewicz. We meet Mankiewicz in 1940, where flush film studio RKO has hired rising star Orson Welles under a contract that gives him full creative control of his movies.
For the movie, Fincher brought together Daniel Craig and Rooney Mara, with Craig playing journalist Mikael Blomkvist and Mara as Lisbeth Salander, the damaged, eccentric, but brilliant hacker with an eye for spotting criminality. The movie, which stars Mark Ruffalo, Jake Gyllenhaal and Robert Downey Jr, follows the still unsolved case of the infamous Zodiac Killer, a serial murderer who terrorized the San Francisco Bay Area during the late 1960s and early 1970s.
Fincher gets Palahniuk's love of squalor and taste for the random bang on here and the movie remains a cult classic. Fincher's follow-up to Alien 3 shocked everyone by its power, thrills and unflinching nature, and it's still a powerhouse thriller when you sit down to take it in now. Gruesome, superbly-plotted and with an ending that will flaw you, Se7en is one of the great thrillers of the last 30 years. It's almost as good as...Another note-perfect adaptation of a big-selling book, Fincher took Gillian Flynn's bestseller to the big screen in 2014.
Pike is in the form of her life here as Amy, but Fincher handles the material brilliantly and delivers an incredible thriller. In the build-up to the release of The Social Network, a movie which saw Fincher team up withabout the founding of Facebook, the talk was all about how the only thing more boring than Facebook itself was the prospect of a movie about it. How wrong they were.
