According to Variety, a bulk of the story follows the serial killer. The production is currently looking for a known, but not well known, leading lady. How badly do I want to suggest Frances McDormand despite her being super well known? Very badly. Do you have any suggestions?

Sure, David Fincher is currently working on the much talked about Facebook origin story The Social Network. But he’s also working on several other things.

As if your day wasn’t awesome enough, Fred Durst is directing another movie. Feel free to celebrate.
