"People will say, 'There are a million ways to shoot a scene', but I don't think so. I think there're two, maybe. And the other one is wrong." — David Fincher

David Fincher has a reputation for being an exacting, meticulous director, one who sees an entire film in his head and who will do whatever it takes to get that vision onscreen.

While that way of working has helped him to produce a filmography filled with modern classic — everything from the cult classics THE GAME and FIGHT CLUB to award winning prestige films like THE SOCIAL NETWORK and ZODIAC — it also has a tendency to cause friction between him and anyone who isn't fully on board with his vision.

In this new series, David Fincher: Rules of the Game, we'll be exploring the first decade and a half of Fincher's career, beginning with his oft-maligned debut film, ALIEN 3 through his serial killer classic ZODIAC.
