Everything’s not okay: David Fincher
In the March Esquire, Brian Mockenhaupt visits “deliberate”-speaking and calmly circumspect David Fincher in anticipation of Zodiac. “I don’t want to make a film that serial killers masturbate to… For me, the scariest thing about a serial killer is that there’s somebody who lives next door to you, 
running power tools late into the night, and you don’t know he has a refrigerator full of penises… Entertainment has to come hand in hand with a little bit of medicine… Some people go to the movies to be reminded that everything’s okay. I don’t make those kinds of movies. That, to me, is a lie. Everything’s not okay.” [More on newsstands and in mailboxes now; Fincher also wryly admits to admiring Robert Ryang's Shining trailer, venturing the effect if they'd scored Fight Club's coming attractions with Peter Gabriel's "Solsbury Hill."]
