Inviting top-notch staff and cast...that's where the nightmare begins.



Because it was a closed-door drama with few characters, great care was taken in casting. Nicole Kidman, who is both popular and talented, plays the main character, Meg. Hayden Panettiere, who played Calista Flockhart's daughter in `` Ally My Love '', will play the role of Sarah.


Forest Whitaker plays Barnum, one of the robbers. In the original script by David Koepp, he was written as an intimidating white man, but Fincher decided that ``a kind-hearted black worker facing financial hardship would be more realistic,'' and Chino's Academy Award for Best Actor has been selected.


Dwight Yoakam plays the role of Raoul, who has a ferocious personality. He is a musician who has won two Grammy Awards as a country singer, but he has also appeared in many movies using his unique appearance. In `` Sling Blade '' (1996), directed by Billy Bob Thornton, he played the role of a rough man with overwhelming presence, and was chosen by David Fincher.


Jared Leto, who would go on to win the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his role in Dallas Buyers Club (13), plays Junior, the mastermind behind the plan. The role remained difficult until the end, and at the advice of his agent, he decided to audition Jared Leto, but he showed up wearing a rapper-like outfit and gold teeth, much to Fincher's disgust.


However, for her second audition, she changed her hairstyle to a thin braid after fully understanding the role. He managed to get the role of a junior. This is Fincher's second collaboration after `` Fight Club .''


The director of photography is Darius Khondji, a famous cameraman who has supported the works of masters such as Jean-Pierre Jeunet and Roman Polanski. Howard Shore, who won the Academy Award for Best Original Score for ` `The Lord of the Rings '', was invited to compose the music. It seemed like the filming was going smoothly with the help of top-notch staff and cast, but this is when the nightmare begins. David Fincher finds himself in a series of unexpected troubles.
