Reviewers take note of Cape Girardeau

(Southeast Missourian)

With the weekend's theatrical release of David Fincher's "Gone Girl," Cape Girardeau is getting its share of press.

Many reviewers at least mention Cape as the filming location, while some discuss how the scenery fits in with the production design.

Read on to say what's being said about Cape in relation to "Gone Girl." (SPOILERS)

"[Cape's] dramatic setting on the banks of the Mississippi, was central to it being "cast" in the role."

"Other stars such as Tyler Perry, who plays Nick's lawyer, Tanner Bolt and Neil Patrick Harris, who plays Amy's high-school boyfriend also came to Cape Girardeau for the filming of the movie."

"... locations suitably nondescript ..."

"The cinematography by Jeff Cronenweth captures the area's ambience."

"... Cape Girardeau standing in the fictional river town named North Carthage ... gives it a little extra for Missourians."

"... it's fun to be on the lookout for Missouri locales."

Video review: No Cape mention, but lots of local footage.

There are a few other articles that aren't exactly reviews, but still discuss Cape:

"... A lovely river town in southeast Missouri ..."

" ...Those Mississippi River towns. They are just very hard to replicate."

"Amy Dunne went missing, but sites from the thriller are easily found"
