David Fincher unmade movies
An article that lists 15 of them and most sound pretty interesting. IMO Ness sounds like the most interesting one. Would make a gloriously disgusting thriller.
shareI still wish he did Mission: Impossible III.
shareI liked it but that would have been a waste of his talents.
shareHe kind of wasted so much of his time. It took him years to get it made and then dropped out.
shareI thought that was Joe Carnahan? Fincher just didn't have a movie come out between 2002-2007.
shareCarnahan was attached at one point.
Here what Cruise said about Fincher:
“We didn’t move forward because they just… like any movie… you know, he’s so talented, and it would’ve just been very different. […] [There are] a lot of people, and I’ve worked with a lot of writers and different directors on it, that never really grasp what works about the franchise. […] So, that’s where we went… it just wasn’t something that was— I don’t know what it would’ve been, it wasn’t kind of embracing what Mission is, and wanting to embrace it in a way that you gotta… You know, how to use the theme music, and how to entertain that kind of, that audience with them, in a way that… you know, and I admire [the directors once attached to Mission: Impossible movies], I’d love to work with them on other things, but you just go, this is something that is, having lived with it, and understanding that communication with the audience, that I wanna deliver on those expectations for an audience… so I don’t know what those films would have been like, really.”
