One of the most interesting aspects of Gone Girl is that Gillian Flynn wrote the screenplay herself, allowing the film adaptation to preserve many of the novel’s central psychological ideas. The movie was also notable for casting Ben Affleck as Nick, a role that deliberately plays with the idea of how a person’s public image can affect how strangers interpret their behavior. Rosamund Pike’s performance as Amy earned her an Academy Award nomination for Best Actress. IMDb also records a fun behind-the-scenes story involving Affleck changing a camera lens setting by an almost imperceptible amount as a bet that Fincher would not notice—Fincher noticed.

The story has a particularly interesting connection to classic mystery and crime-fiction traditions. Rather than presenting the disappearance as a straightforward detective mystery, Flynn structures Gone Girl around unreliable perspectives and deliberately misleading information, making the audience repeatedly reconsider what it thinks it knows.
