“Gone Girl,” the movie: Gillian Flynn’s thriller novel had us so riveted and when we finished reading the (frustrating) last chapter, we resisted the urge to scream and set out to buy her other books instead. This year, Flynn fans will get the chance to see it on the big screen. We can’t say we were surprised that a movie studio picked up “Gone Girl”—we knew the first time we read it that it would make a great film. And the sneak peek tweeted by 20th Century Fox showing Ben Affleck as Nick Dunne and a photo of his missing wife Amy (played by Rosamund Pike) just fueled our excitement. We like the casting choices and we have high hopes for the movie, especially since Flynn wrote the screenplay, too. Hurry up, our popcorn is ready.
