After
Charlize Theron, Natalie Portman and Emily Blunt were, due to various reasons
ruled out of the female lead role in David Fincher’s adaptation of Gillian
Flynn’s novel Gone Girl, actress Rosamund Pike was chosen for the role, joining
actor Ben Affleck in the film.
Also
in the news regarding Gone Girl is that actors Neil Patrick Harris and Tyler
Perry are joining the cast. As what comic relief? And Tyler Perry just
destroyed a great character with Alex Cross and is stuck in that Madea thing.
Fincher
is a great director so lets trust his judgment.
Gone
Girl Book Synopsis Via Amazon
Marriage
can be a real killer.
One
of the most critically acclaimed suspense writers of our time, New York Times
bestseller Gillian Flynn takes that statement to its darkest place in this
unputdownable masterpiece about a marriage gone terribly, terribly wrong. TheChicago
Tribune proclaimed that her work “draws you in and keeps you reading with the
force of a pure but nasty addiction.” Gone Girl’s toxic mix of sharp-edged wit
and deliciously chilling prose creates a nerve-fraying thriller that confounds
you at every turn.
On a
warm summer morning in North Carthage, Missouri, it is Nick and Amy Dunne’s
fifth wedding anniversary. Presents are being wrapped and reservations are
being made when Nick’s clever and beautiful wife disappears from their rented
McMansion on the Mississippi River. Husband-of-the-Year Nick isn’t doing
himself any favors with cringe-worthy daydreams about the slope and shape of
his wife’s head, but passages from Amy’s diary reveal the alpha-girl
perfectionist could have put anyone dangerously on edge. Under mounting
pressure from the police and the media—as well as Amy’s fiercely doting
parents—the town golden boy parades an endless series of lies, deceits, and
inappropriate behavior. Nick is oddly evasive, and he’s definitely bitter—but
is he really a killer?
As
the cops close in, every couple in town is soon wondering how well they know
the one that they love. With his twin sister, Margo, at his side, Nick stands
by his innocence. Trouble is, if Nick didn’t do it, where is that beautiful
wife? And what was in that silvery gift box hidden in the back of her bedroom
closet?
With her razor-sharp
writing and trademark psychological insight, Gillian Flynn delivers a
fast-paced, devilishly dark, and ingeniously plotted thriller that confirms her
status as one of the hottest writers around.
