David Fincher: Directors
built 631 days ago
David Fincher's feature film career began with the third film of the Alien franchise entitled Alien 3 (1992). The first two films of the series, Alien (1979) and Aliens (1986), are widely considered classics in the sci-fi genera and when Fincher began Alien 3, there was intense pressure to deliver a product equal to the previous two installments. But even before Fincher became involved with Alien 3 the movie was already troubled. Two different directors had already come and gone and ten different scripts were all written and rejected for the film before Fincher had signed on as director.

Fincher's feature debut was Alien³ (1992), which was then the most expensive picture ever made by a first time director. Unfortunately the film was not a pleasant experience for Fincher, having had a difficult time with the people at 20th Century Fox,who built sets without a finished script and made production a nightmare. While it received an Oscar nomination for special effects, the film was not well received by critics or movie goers. Depressed and disillusioned, Fincher retreated back into the world of commercial and music video directing, earning a Grammy for the Rolling Stones' "Love Is Strong" (1994). He was often referred in the years immediately after Alien³ as being in "movie jail" due to the film's terrible reception. On the 9-disc Alien Quadrilogy box-set released in 2003, Fincher was the one director from the entire franchise who declined to participate in the box-set, even to record a commentary track.
