Back to the Future Part II (1989): 1 line

  1. craft (craft) · through Alien: Covenant (2017), which they acted in: Back to the Future Part II ⇒ Alien: Covenant (the host's read). The double-Fassbender effect is an old trick established by Zemeckis in Back to the Future II.

Blue Velvet (1986): 1 line

  1. unmapped (quoted line) · through The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2011), which they acted in: Blue Velvet ⇒ The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (the host's read). The fuck-you-you-fucking-fuck shirt is believed to originate from Dennis Hopper's line in Blue Velvet.

Prometheus (2012): 1 line, within their own work

  1. lineage (lineage) · through Alien: Covenant (2017), which they acted in: Prometheus ⇒ Alien: Covenant (the host's read). Covenant is half the Prometheus sequel Scott wanted and half a concession to a more normal Alien movie.
    “this is half, like Ridley Scott doing the Prometheus sequel he wanted to do and half”

Stieg Larsson: 1 line

  1. lineage (adaptation) · through The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2011), which they acted in: Stieg Larsson ⇒ The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (the host's read). The film is Zaillian's abridged adaptation of Larsson's novel, which loses nothing major.
    “I think this is an excellent piece of adaptation that does not really, like, skip anything major.”

Sven Nykvist: 1 line

  1. craft (visual reference) · through The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2011), which they acted in: Sven Nykvist ⇒ The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (the maker said so). Someone on the shoot (Fincher, or the DP by the garbled name) wanted a Sven Nykvist look: warm fires, cold rooms.
    “I wanted to do a whole Sven Nikfist thing”

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (Swedish, 2009) (2009): 1 line, within their own work

  1. lineage (remake) · through The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2011), which they acted in: The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (Swedish, 2009) ⇒ The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (the host's read). The Fincher film is the American remake of the Swedish original; its director says he was not worried.
    “Everyone who loves film will go see the original.”

The Martian (2015): 1 line

  1. industry (industry) · through Alien: Covenant (2017), which they acted in: The Martian ⇒ Alien: Covenant (the host's read). The Martian's success gave Scott leverage to make an odder Alien film.
    “I forgot that the previous film to this is the Martian”

The Social Network (2010): 1 line

  1. people (casting led to) · through The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2011), which they acted in: The Social Network ⇒ The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (the host's read). Pascal saw the dailies from The Social Network and picked Rooney Mara for Lisbeth Salander.
    “Pascal basically sees the dailies from this movie and is like, Rooney Morris, Elizabeth Salander.”

Gone Girl (2014): 1 line

  1. people (casting approach) · through The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2011), which they acted in: The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo ⇒ Gone Girl (the host's read). The speaker thinks Fincher's exhaustive casting search on Dragon Tattoo informed how he cast Amy with someone new to the audience.
    “that exhaustive casting search, which I do think informs the way he approaches Amy going into this movie as well”

The Killer (2023): 1 line

  1. people (casting origin) · through Prometheus (2012), which they acted in: Prometheus ⇒ The Killer (the maker said so: the Q and A at the screening). Fincher said at the Q&A that seeing Prometheus made him note Fassbender as a good sociopath for later.
    “I go to see Prometheus and I go, hmm, sociopath.”
