First Image Of Ben Affleck In David Fincher's Gone Girl
In the midst of the Argo/Batman hoopla, one easily forgets Ben Affleck is also fronting another Big Deal movie, but the above is a nice little reminder in the form of the first official image released from David Fincher's next, an adaptation of Gillian Flynn's massive bestseller Gone Girl (via The Playlist).
Of course, the real star of this story is the Girl herself, Rosamund Pike, but the first image of Affleck gives us a nice concise summary of events: On their fifth wedding anniversary, one half of a seemingly perfect couple disappears, and while he plays the grieving and worried husband in front of the cameras, like so many ripped-from-the-headlines stories, soon becomes the main suspect in her disappearance. There's so much more to it, but suffice to say it's dark and twisted and perfectly suited for Fincher's sensibilities.
Gone Girl will be released on October 3, 2014.
