'Gone Girl' featured on cover of Entertainment Weekly
There are some familiar faces on the cover of the new issue of Entertainment Weekly.
Ben Affleck and Rosamund Pike, as their "Gone Girl" characters Nick and Amy Dunne, grace the magazine's 2014 preview issue. Behind the camera for the photo shoot? None other than "Gone Girl" director David Fincher himself.
The magazine reports that when it approached Twentieth Century Fox, the studio behind "Gone Girl," about doing an in-depth feature on the film, Fincher offered to shoot the cover himself. What publication wouldn't accept?
There aren't a lot of details accompanying the release of the cover photo -- you'll have to pick up the new issue Jan. 10 for those -- but there are a couple of interesting nuggets:
* If you've read the book, don't think you'll know all the twists that are coming. Fincher says the lesson he learned from bringing Stieg Larsson's hit novel "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo" to the screen in 2011 was that "we may have been too beholden to the source material."
* "Gone Girl" author Gillian Flynn, who adapted her novel for the screen, said this: "There was something thrilling about taking this piece of work that I'd spent about two years painstakingly putting together with all its eight million LEGO pieces and take a hammer to it and bash it apart and reassemble it into a movie." (Flynn used to write for Entertainment Weekly.)
