I think David Fincher has an extremely original and different artistic approach in working. I think it's absolute professional way of working and also concentrating on the quality of the working method with actors... good on you David....! ;-)

This is helping me with my short film

I love Fincher, one of my personal favs :)

I can't thank you enough for curating this work. So important. Your blog is outstanding. Keep it coming.

"I think Forrest would have a hard time playing someone evil"...CUT TO Forrest Whitaker winning an oscar for playing an evil character in Last King of Scotland

Thank You David for all Your great work.

this is amazing, I love fincher. THNX

LOVE these videos. Keep them coming please!

Thank you Ryan. Thank you so much.

On the contrary Mr. Fincher, you're either making a slice of life OR a slice of cake.

lots of good stuff to consider for film directors at any stage of their career.

LOVE this Guys

When you mentioned about not making enough movies when compared with 'Hitchcock' & 'Spielberg'. If you have a large enough budget and a larger team with an extra Unit working in parallel where you can have another director who can think the same way like this director and take instructions in working with another Unit in parallel. Then you maybe able to complete a lot more movies. I guess a lot of time it boils down to amount of funding and cash availability for the films.

So, just like everything else in life, allow TWICE the time you think you will need, because shit always takes longer and the unexpected happens.

Thank you ...

Fincher can come off a bit smug, but it comes with the territory.

Awesome sharing

What is the name of the storyboarding program he is taking about

I once had an idea for a movie that was like a dark, gritty, brutal, atmospheric, and intensely suspenseful Crime-Drama/Murder-Mystery thriller that I could see Fincher directing! The plot centered around two female protagonists, one being a hard-edged and unorthodox rogue narcotics officer going outside her assigned case to infiltrate a drug kingpin's organization in order to find a missing girl and avenge her late son's murder. The other is a straight-laced and brilliant FBI agent assigned to assemble and lead an elite team of special agents to track down a cunning yet highly-intelligent serial killer. The two young women's lives eventually collide and they both discover that their investigations strangely but coherently connect together. They then join forces to solve a twisted puzzle of crime and mayhem which leads them to uncover some shocking truths such as a corrupt mayor with ties to the Greek mafia and the possibility that an agent of the bureau may be associated with the serial killer.

Great stuff...but Forest couldn't play evil? Hahaha. The only part of the commentary where I think he wrongly predicted Idi Amin.

Fincher is the best.

Yeah he got Forrest wrong. Most good actors and actresses have a lot more range and versatility than 99% of people believe.

Real nigga right here

Ah, but imagine K Stew in a new Fincher film. Fincher could work it like he did with Justin Timberlake.

I don't think Fincher was prophesizing Stewart's abilities of taking the world cinema by storm by having the same boring look on her face and starring in romantic vampire romance films. Seems like he had a "thespian" in mind, not unlike Jodie Foster lets say.

@merocket- I AM pretentious. Mmkay, thanks.

Coloradan FTW

I love Fincher, one of my personal favs :)
