Gone Girl: Carrie Coon Clarifies a Misconception About David Fincher
Carrie Coon already had a Tony Award nomination to her name when she stepped on the set of Gone Girl, but switching mediums and jumping into your first feature film can still involve quite the learning curve. And on top of that, Coon was taking that plunge with a David Fincher film.
Coon plays Margo Dunn in the movie, the sister of Ben Affleck’s character, Nick. Based on the acclaimed Gillian Flynn novel, the film digs into what happens when Nick’s wife, Amy (Rosamund Pike), suddenly goes missing. Pike went on to score an Academy Award nomination for her work, and Gone Girl also scooped up a whole bunch of other nods and accolades that awards season.
Not only is Fincher known for doing many, many takes on his sets, but when Jake Gyllenhaal looked back on the making of Zodiac with The New York Times, he said that Fincher “paints with people,” and added, “It’s tough to be a color.” So what’s it like for a first-timer stepping on a set like that? Coon detailed the experience in this clip from her episode of Collider Ladies Night!
