With the release of the movie just over a week away, you can now stream the entire soundtrack for Gone Girl on NPR’s website, which you can listen to here. David Fincher has now completed the hat-trick with composers Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, having worked with them on both The Social Network and The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.
I’ve enjoyed their collaborations previously, and listened to a couple of tracks from the soundtrack (“What Have We Done To Each Other?” and “Empty Places”), and they are pretty much what we have come to expect from a Reznor and Ross collaboration. They are slow, moody tracks with heavy use of synthesizers. I am not saying that is a bad thing, but I was hoping for at least a little variation on what they do. It might be I listened to the two wrong tracks, and every other one is vastly different… give it a listen and you tell me in the comments below.
For those still in the dark, the film is Fincher’s adaptation of Gillian Flynn’s worldwide bestseller about Nick Dunne (Ben Affleck) and his wife (Rosamund Pike), who goes missing on their fifth wedding anniversary. When the disappearance becomes a media circus, Nick’s innocence is brought into question. The film also stars Neil Patrick Harris, Tyler Perry, Carrie Coon, Kim Dickens, Patrick Fugit, and Casey Wilson.
Reviews for the film have been mostly positive up until this point, and I am greatly looking forward to seeing it next week. It is difficult to not get excited for a new David Fincher movie, even if Tyler Perry is in it.
