Mark Salisbury: David Fincher, let's start at the end, as Button does, and talk about The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. It's kind of a departure for you, in that it's a love story, but with an unhappy ending. David Fincher: Yes, everybody dies. MS: This project has been around for a long ...

David Fincher Says 'Alien 3' "Director's Cut" Version Is Not His
:: The Playlist :: —
So David Fincher is a self-proclaimed, "asshole," we've agreed and moved on, cool. But there happens to be more from that Guardian article. For all the revisionists and Fincher obsessives that insist, "Hey, 'Alien 3' is actually pretty good," even the director thinks you're dead wrong. "No one hated it more than me; to this day, no one hates it more than me," he said noting that his struggles and labors on the film were an uphill climb adding to his detest for the project (and plus it's the first film he ...

/Film —
... Spider-Man down to four directors: Barry Sonnenfeld, Michael Bay, Chris Columbus and David Fincher. Michael Bay passed on the project saying the script needed work (talk about funny) and it was later reported that Fincher passed because “it wasn’t his thing”. I’ve always wondered how Fincher’s name got in the mix, and what Fincher’s vision for Spider-Man would have been. Recently Fincher sat down to answer questions for The Guardian, and the filmmaker was asked about the project. ...

Cinema Blend News —
David Fincher Not Sorry About Turning Down Spider-Man David Fincher is a great guy to see an interview with, since he doesn't apologize for anything.
