Fincher on Brad in Premiere ā August, 1999
āBrad can say anything, and no matter what it is, you go, āYeah, thereās some truth to that,āā Fincher says. āItās not a power trip; itās more like, āThis is how I see it-but hey, you do what you like.ā Which is a great way of getting people to do what you want.ā Fincher laughs.
ālisten, after what we paid him, I can tell you he doesnāt need a hit,ā Fincher says. (Pittās asking price is $20 million.) āThe great thing about Brad is, he will never arrive. He will do stuff that people maybe will not like; he will do things that people think fit him like a glove.
But heās never going to be one of these guys where you know exactly what youāre going to get. Heās never going to say, āWhat do they want to see me in?āā
