The Game (1997) followed two years later and was a much-hyped return for Fincher. Audiences had forgotten about Alien 3 and thought of The Game as his sophomore effort (the same way most audiences missed Hard Eight and believed Boogie Nights to be the debut film of P.T. Anderson). While not the box office success that Se7en was and (for some) a disappointing mild thriller compared to his previous film, The Game has the same atmosphere of dread and personal darkness. A modern Christmas Carol, with Michael Douglas as a wealthy Scrooge plagued by a entourage of danger that causes him to rediscover his humanity, the overtly moralistic, trick ending turned off some. While the plot frequently defies logic in favor of blatant surrealism (the TV scene is a perfect example), the film, which is as sad and suspenseful as you'd expect, is Fincher working at the top of his craft.

The year 2007 in American movies began with a triumph ~ David Fincher’s Zodiac. It is something new in cinema, a haunting meditation on the pursuit of verifiable truth across the passage of time. Fincher and his collaborators conducted their own investigation into the case of the legendary Zodiac killer, who terrorized Northern California from the late 1960s through the mid-’70s. The result is a film like no other, that focuses on the search rather than the conclusion, the exhausting process of assembling facts and piecing them together throughout months and years, with multiple obstacles, disappointments and discouragements along the way.

Raised in Marin County, Mr. Fincher was only 7 when the area was seized with fear in 1969. “I remember coming home and saying the highway patrol had been following our school buses for a couple weeks now,” he recalled in December in an interview in New Orleans, where he was editing “Zodiac” while filming “Benjamin Button.” “And my dad, who worked from home, and who was very dry, not one to soft-pedal things, turned slowly in his chair and said: ‘Oh yeah. There’s a serial killer who has killed four or five people, who calls himself Zodiac, who’s threatened to take a high-powered rifle and shoot out the tires of a school bus, and then shoot the children as they come off the bus.’ ”
