Short description

With his wife's disappearance having become the focus of an intense media circus, a man sees the spotlight turned on him when it's suspected that he may not be innocent.

What's left behind the scenes

  • Ben Affleck put his own film on hold to work with David Fincher. Affleck said, 'He is the only director I know who can do anyone's job better than the people actually doing it.' Once on set, Affleck slightly altered the camera settings, betting a crew member that Fincher wouldn't notice. But as soon as filming began, Fincher immediately asked why the image looked a bit dim.
  • Although the events of the film take place in North Carthage, Missouri, filming took place in Cape Girardeau, Missouri. Casting for extras was held at the Rose Theatre at Southeast Missouri State University, which is also located in Cape Girardeau.
  • In one episode of the film, Nick compares Amy to Elizabeth Bennet – the main character of Jane Austen's novel 'Pride and Prejudice'. Rosamund Pike, who played the role of Amy, also played Elizabeth's sister – Jane Bennet in a 2005 production.
  • Gillian Flynn, the author of the original novel, wrote several script ending variations to maintain the interest of readers and viewers, and to avoid spoilers.
  • While preparing for filming, Ben Affleck tracked down and spoke with several men who had been accused and convicted of murdering their wives. Specifically, Affleck spoke with Scott Peterson, who was awaiting execution in a California prison.
  • Ben Affleck's birthday coincides with the birthday of his character Nick – August 15th.
  • Reese Witherspoon, Charlize Theron, Natalie Portman, Emily Blunt, Rooney Mara, Olivia Wilde, Abby Cornish and Julianna Hough were considered for the role of Amy Dunne.
