A Man Believed To Be David Fincher

+++ UPDATED AGAIN: 2013/10/05 ...with even more set photos! +++

...is being seen doing a lot of crazy things in and around Cape Girardeau. I, too, believe this man to be director David Fincher on the set of his new film "Gone Girl", and here, my friends, courtesy of the one and only Robert Paulson, is a few new set photos of all of that. — Thank you, Bob, you're just awesome!

  3. Very nice find Robert. Thanks!

    Daryl, that was a great read, thanks for the link.

    Simon, thanks for the share. Great presentation. It's pretty amazing how simple that workflow is... but at the same time it's so freaking powerful.

    That was a great daily fix of Fincher news, thanks guys :)

  4. I think people at RedUser forums confirmed that Gone Girl is being shot on RED Dragon ;)

    1. RED probably created the Dragon just for Fincher so he can use it on "Gone Girl" haha.

  5. Hej Hej mikez; It was actually myself that put the pics on there to try and get confirmation . Figured they'd be the folks that'd know. I'd say I'm 80% sure he's gone with Dragon. Soderbergh rhapsodised about the camera, so can't imagine why DF wouldn't succumb to it's wonders. And it's always cool to see Fincher behind a kick-ass camera rig!

    1. Hehe. It's a small world :) I'm glad you posted that question over there. Now we can be 80% sure ;)

      Dragon gives them even more space to tweak the final image. More room for image stabilization, framing etc. I think, going with the Dragon should be a no-brainer ;)

  6. Wow, the online newspaper that posted the images really have the art of ambiguity down to a tee, potentially.

    And to get you in the mood ~ the tech specs are up for GG:

    Red Epic [Dragon] 6K 2:1 as a capture means & format, with a 2.40:1 frame guide. Recording at REDCODE 5:1.
    Lensing with Leica Summilux-C Primes. Which is a change from the Master Primes that Fincher & Cronenweth used on their previous 2 Red adventures.

  12. Seriously ROFL:

    "I was talking to a lovely, lovely woman with 14 grandchildren and she told me that ‘Se7en” was one of her favorite films."

    That's a totally awesome grandma. LOL
