David Fincher Biography

David Fincher directed Fight Club a screen adaptation of Chuck Palahniuk's 1996 novel about an insomniac office worker who opens up a club devoted exclusively to bare knuckle fighting for men. Featuring Edward Norton Helena Bonham Carter and Seven collaborator Brad Pitt the film was an early disappointment at the box-office and received mixed reviews. Fight Club was panned by several critics and alienated audiences leading to its box office failure in the United States. However many critics and audiences later changed their opinions and the film appeared on many best of the year lists and soon developed a cult following.
In 2002 Fincher followed up with the thriller Panic Room. The film earned over $92 million at the U.S. box office. The story follows a single mother (Jodie Foster) and her daughter (Kristen Stewart) as they hide in a safe room of their new house away from criminals (Forest Whitaker Dwight Yoakam and Fight Club collaborator Jared Leto) bent on finding a missing fortune. Fincher acknowledged Panic Room as a more mainstream thriller describing the film on the DVD's audio commentary as [basically] a date movie and a really good B movie about two people trapped in a closet.
Five years after Panic Room Fincher returned on March 2 2007 with Zodiac an adaptation of Robert Graysmith's books about the hunt for the Zodiac Killer that starred Jake Gyllenhaal Mark Ruffalo Robert Downey Jr. Anthony Edwards and Brian Cox. The first of Fincher's films to be shot digitally the majority of the film was recorded on a Thompson Viper Film Stream Camera. However high-speed film cameras were used for the Blue Rock Springs and Presidio Heights murder scenes for the slow-motion shots.
