What sil said, allthough 1 thing I disagree with. I'm actually a fan of the film zodiac, a very thought out film for sure. watching behind the scenes footage of the zodiac. If fincher was like that during the filming of alien 3, which due to cast members talking about it, we know he was. I think crazy is acceptable word use.
A perfectionist doesent just waltz off set yelling at people and blaming stuff on actors which he has a habit of.
Also correct this was his 1st film, yet blame is allways on the producers, the script, rewrites, never on fincher.
I call it the crew cut cause they got original cast members to come and do the audio again. They all agreed to come back and work on the film a second time. Not easy to assemble that many cast members for a film that was 10 years old.
So I call it the crew cut.
All the while fincher refused to have anything to do with the film.
Also they had a massive amount of footage, like the script had them film like 6 solid hours of footage that they had to go through and edit the shit out of it, which is why the theatrical cut of the film is so jumpy.
They added like 30 minutes of NEVER BEFORE SEEN footage and had original cast members back to dub those scenes.
P.S. I did not mean crazy in a negative way. When I get into the cage people call me crazy as well.

You know for somone defending fincher you really have no f**king clue what an asshole he is. And in any part of the real world he would have gotten his teeth knocked down his throat. Some hollywood officials have coddled him like a baby and he shits all over them with how he presents himself.
I'll say it right now.
David fincher is a crazy, ass-hat director that has only made 3 decent movies. And even in those films he has treated his cast and crew like shit.
He Is has an inflated ego and hasent done shit worth all the bullshit he gives his crews.
Go ahead and google david fincher "asshole" I was just curious if my crazy comment was valid and you are right, it was not.
He is an asshole.
