There’s being meticulous, and then there’s David Fincher.
36 BTS Facts And Easter Eggs In David Fincher’s Movies That’ll Urge You To Start A Marathon
Director David Fincher is an icon when it comes to psychological thrillers (in my humble opinion), but you may know that he’s also defined by his purposeful visual storytelling and meticulous attention to detail.
As one of my favourite directors to date, I love reading about the intricacies of Fincher’s filmmaking and behind the scenes facts that make the movies so much more enjoyable, so I wanted to share with you some of my favourite revelations!
A lot of David Fincher film spoilers ahead: You’ve been warned!
1. One of the sets in Se7en was based on a real crime scene.
3. Meat Loaf wore elevated shoes to play Bob in Fight Club.
4. Robert Downey Jr. asked for the straw trick to be included in Zodiac.
5. The John Doe notebooks in Se7en were real props created especially for the film.
6. There’s an interesting nod to the Swedish The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo in Fincher’s reboot.
7. The “diabetic” reveal in Panic Room was subtly hinted at throughout the film.
8. Gone Girl production was shut down for four days because Ben Affleck refused to wear a NY Yankees baseball cap.
9. The rain in Se7en was due to Fincher’s contingency plan.
10. It took 12 hours to film the Fight Club sex scene.
11. The first scene of The Social Network took 99 takes.
12. Marla Singer’s phone number in Fight Club was the same one in Christopher Nolan’s Memento.
13. In Se7en, Mills’ gun was firing Mexican blanks (which was not a choice of Fincher’s).
14. There’s a restaurant in The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo which had previously been used for a Daniel Craig film.
15. Fincher asked for Michael Douglas’s input as to whether or not Deborah Kara Unger should get the role in The Game.
16. Fincher relented having to do this scene in Panic Room.
18. All of the blood in Zodiac was added digitally.
19. There’s a Tyler Durden easter egg in The Social Network.
20. Fincher sent stern selfies to Rosamund Pike when filming Gone Girl.
21. The helicopter POV scenes in Se7en are all looking down at doubles
22. Edward Norton really did punch Brad Pitt in Fight Club.
25. There’s a nod to Fight Club in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
26. There’s a lot of Sony product placement in Panic Room
27. Fincher altered the opening credits of The Game because of the teaser the marketing department put out.
29. Meg’s fear of small spaces is hinted at early on in Panic Room.
30. There’s a Starbucks cup in every Fight Club scene.
31. Fincher had to fight to keep spoilers out of the Gone Girl trailer.
33. Fincher wasn’t allowed to film on the Harvard campus for The Social Network.
34. The production team flew Oak trees into Lake Berryessa for Zodiac.
35. In Zodiac, San Francisco was created using CGI.
36. Brad Pitt and Edward Norton really learned how to make soap for Fight Club.
I think we can all agree that Fincher’s easter eggs and behind-the-scenes details make his films even more worthy, but which Fincher film is your favourite?!
