David Fincher is a Cinematic God

I love David Fincher. He's clearly one of my biggest influences in everything I do with a camera. Hell, how I look at the world.

I've loved every film he's ever made, ranging from Se7en, to Benjamin Button, to the recent Social Network. His shots are always perfectly composed, the color palette he uses is also so drab yet powerful, and his films are always dark.

If I ever make a film - I'm sure I'll get criticized for copying his style, but who cares, it works and I love it.

So this is his new film, it's a remake of a swedish film based on a  trilogy of books. I saw the original and read the books and can say that each is wonderful - but I have full confidence that Fincher's will surpass the originals. Yes, I'm one of those who doesn't usually think remakes are better than the source material, but this genre of film is what Fincher essentially created.

It also doesn't hurt that he has a wonderful cast, Daniel Craig being the most noticeable, along with newcomer (who apparently steals the show and is already being considered an Oscar favorite), Rooney Mara.

Is it going to be a dark, disturbing thriller? Absolutely.

And I think that's why I'm so excited about it.
