The trailer for Gone Girl was released this week starring Ben Affleck as the movie's main character, Nick Dunne.

The movie's film director David Fincher is best known for directing the movies The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, The Social Network, and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. He was also nominated for Best Director at the Academy Awards in both 2008 and 2010.

Fincher was also rumored to be directing an upcoming Steve Jobs biopic that he most recently passed on due to financial dispute and lack of control on the film's marketing, according to the HuffingtonPost.

Gone Girl is an adaptation Gillian Flynn's New York Times Best Seller by the same name. The novel became the number one New York Times Hardcover Fiction Bestseller for eight weeks and was also on the National Public Radio's hardcover fiction bestseller list for 26 weeks.

Both the movie and book center around the rocky marriage of Amy and Nick Dunne as they struggle to bounce back after Nick loses his job as a journalist. On the fifth anniversary of their wedding, Amy goes missing and the plot thickens once Dunne becomes the main suspect of his wife's difference.

In the eerie trailer, there isn't much dialogue. Richard Butler's cover of the famous Charles Aznavour song "She" is used to illustrate the thriller's trailer.

Rolling Stone reports that Nine Inch Nails frontman Trent Reznor and longtime collaborator Atticus Ross are behind Gone Girl's score. The duo has musically collaborated with Fincher in the past on films such as The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, for which they picked up a Golden Globe nod, and The Social Network, which earned the pair an Oscar for Best Original Score. So having them on the Gone Girl soundtrack seems like a natural move.

The trailer features cameos from actors Romsamund Pike, who plays Amy, and Tyler Perry, who plays Tanner Bolt. At the end of the trailer, we hear Affleck say, "I did not kill my wife. I am not a murderer."  Is he telling the truth? Find out when the movie comes out on Oct. 3. Click here to see the trailer.
