The first trailer for the Gillian Flynn adopted novel, Gone Girl has premiered online.
The film stars Ben Affleck as Nick Dunne whose life flips up-side-down, following the disappearance of his wife Amy [Rosamund Pike] on their fifth wedding anniversary.
The film is directed by David Fincher and will be produced by Reese Witherspoon alongside Bruna Papandrea and Leslie Dixon.
The film version will deviate from the alternating chapters of the book – Nick and Amy takes turns narrating in the first person – and also feature a reworked ending.
Ben was so shocked by it,” Flynn said of the revised third act. “He would say, ‘This is a whole new third act! She literally threw that third act out and started from scratch’.
“There was something thrilling about taking this piece of work that I’d spent about two years painstakingly putting together with all its 8,000,000 LEGO pieces and take a hammer to it and bash it apart and reassemble it into a movie.”
Neil Patrick Harris features in the supporting cast as Desi Collings, Amy’s ex-boyfriend, while Tyler Perry will play Tanner Bolt, the lawyer looking to clear Nick of Amy’s murder.
Kim Dickens, Patrick Fugit and Emily Ratajkowski are also among the ensemble.
Gone Girl will be released in cinemas on October 3.
