Did You Know?

Personal Quote:

[on the character of Amy Dunne in Gone Girl (2014)] In my head I saw her as Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy. I had these images of before and after - of Carolyn as an 18-year-old and as a 20-year-old, the notion of someone self-made. She crafted herself, she re-invented herself, and invented that persona. That's where I began. See more »

Trivia:

Met his partner, Ceán Chaffin, in the early '90s when she produced a Japanese Coca-Cola ad he was directing. See more »

Trademark:

Almost all of his camera compositions are static or highly controlled camera movement and he rarely uses a handheld camera. Interestingly his films often include a single handheld scene, or in The Social Network (2010) and Gone Girl (2014) exactly one handheld shot. See more »
