David Fincher's long-awaited thriller “Gone Girl” unveils new clip

A new clip from director David Fincher's highly anticipated thriller Gone Girl has hit the Internet, showing the flirty but ominous introduction between the two characters, The Hollywood Reporter said.

The witty exchange begins with Ben Affleck's Nick asking Amy (Rosamund Pike) about herself. Her humorous response is presumably the first time in a long time that a party conversation has involved the word "scrimshaw."

The film is an adaptation of the best-selling novel by Gillian Flynn, who also wrote the screenplay. Neil Patrick Harris and Tyler Perry co-star.

Twentieth Century Fox releases the film Oct. 3.
