The first full trailer for Gone Girl has finally dropped—not that it shows much, besides Ben Affleck looking maybe-slimy-maybe-misunderstood as Nick Dunne and lots of conflict between characters you'll maybe remember from the book. Throw in a cover of "She" by the Psychedelic Furs' Richard Butler and boom, you've got…

Entertainment Weekly has an early glimpse at the hotly anticipated Gone Girl, which is scheduled to hit theaters October 3. They even got director David Fincher himself to shoot the cover for the week. And the result is... really something!

Last week there was a news item from The Hollywood Reporter regarding the possibility that David Fincher's next film might be Gone Girl. But wasn't he supposed to be working on The Girl Who Played With Fire?

Once upon a time, Cameron Diaz turned 40 and started making depressing and obvious statements to Access Hollywood like "Look, the alternative to getting older is [being dead]." Diaz has since found herself in what the tabloids are calling "a bit of a mid-life crisis" since her split from Alex Rodriguez and a fling with P.…

The fairly explicit posters for The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo are just the tip of the iceberg: Daniel Craig says the film is "as adult as you can possibly make it." Director David Fincher showed him an early cut of the flick, and James Bond freaked:"Fincher, he's not holding back. They've given him free rein. He showed…

The edgy, quickfire red band trailer (or viral marketing, or whatever) was just the beginning: Here's the dark and menacing Canadian poster for David Fincher's version of The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, featuring a mile-long stretch of Rooney Mara's torso. The actress, who usually looks more mild-mannered, is…
David Fincher's version of The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo doesn't hit theaters until December, but the red band trailer has been "leaked" (read: recorded on a cameraphone, possibly by a theater employee?) early. NB: This is the red band trailer, meaning that it's not necessarily SFW, due to a millisecond of boob.

A white guy invented Facebook. But in Mark Zuckerberg's real-life world, women did more than give blowjobs, and black people said more than "Is this guy bothering you?" So why does The Social Network so badly want to pretend otherwise?
