David Fincher Photographs 'Gone Girl' Cover for Entertainment Weekly

 

Entertainment Weekly has debuted their 2014 Preview cover and it features cinema's newest Batman, Ben Affleck, snuggling up to his dead wife's body (Rosamund Pike) for David Fincher's adaptation of the Gillian Flynn best-selling novel, Gone Girl.

Yeah, sure it's a bit weird, but it's David Fincher who photographed the still exclusively for the publication.  That man's name alone gets me in the theater, and this creepy looking image seems to give a sense of the tone the great director is going for.

For those unfamiliar, Gone Girl tells the story of Nick Dunne (Affleck) whose wife (Rosamund Pike) goes missing on their fifth wedding anniversary, only to have all eyes point towards him as the killer.

I am yet to read the book but will likely stay away until I see the film to not spoil any plot twists.

Gillian Flynn also wrote the screenplay which is pretty rare for today's modern moviemaking when an author pens the script for their own feature-film adaptation.

Gone Girl opens October 3rd so expect a trailer and poster to be released fairly soon.
