THE GAME (1997) | David Fincher, Part 4

After the success of SE7EN, David Fincher returned to a film that he'd started developing before deciding to prioritize the serial killer film that would put him on the map. That film was THE GAME, a twist-filled thriller that's often overlooked and underappreciated during discussions of the director's filmography, but one that still features all of the skill, cynicism, and wit that have become staples of Fincher's work. In this episode, we'll discuss the creation of THE GAME, from script to shoot to screen and everything in-between, as we continue our deep dive into the films and career of David Fincher.
