Production
Gone Girl is directed by David Fincher. It is a film adaptation of the 2012 novel of same name by Gillian Flynn, who also wrote the adapted screenplay. One of the film's producers, Leslie Dixon, read the manuscript of the novel in 2011 and brought to the attention of Reese Witherspoon in December of that year. Witherspoon saw potential in producing Gone Girl as a film, and she and Dixon collaborated with Bruna Papandrea to develop it. They worked with Flynn's film agent Shari Smiley to meet with film studios in early 2012.[2]
On September 11, the crew began filming establishing shots, which do not require actors.[3] Principal photography then began on September 15 in Cape Girardeau, Missouri, with shooting expected to last about five weeks.[4][5] Some scenes will also be filmed in Los Angeles.[5]
On January 21, 2014, Trent Reznor announced that he and Atticus Ross would once again work with Fincher to provide the score.[6] This will mark the third collaboration between them, following The Social Network and The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.
Marketing
On December 27, 2013, Fox released an official still from the film.[7] Later on January 8, 2014, Entertainment Weekly posted a EW cover which featured the film.[8] On April 14, an official first trailer and a teaser poster for the film was released,[9] followed by another trailer on July 7, 2014.[10]
