Fincher



“Now, my friend Tarsem [Singh] did me an incredible solid and we cut him loose— Brad was gonna be in a bunch of different places over the Christmas holidays. So we sort of sent him an Araflex and he flew to all these places. Originally, we were gonna go to ten other locations. So in I think in four days, he shot us all the material we could ever want on, what I call, ‘The Razor’s Edge’ montage. If you gotta get somebody to do second unit, you might as well get somebody who can shoot better than any DP or director that I know of. We would watch it and go, ‘My God, it’s so beautiful’.” - David Fincher, Benjamin Button commentary
