In each instance, Fincher is able to get great performances out of Pitt, and that translates across his entire filmography.
Pitt and Fincher first worked together in Se7en, then again on Fight Club, and most recently in 2008 with The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.
Alien 3 is a divisive film and Fincher has made his displeasure with that film known.
Hopefully, Fincher and the studio can collaborate in a friendly way to craft not only a great second film, but also the future of this hopeful franchise.
