"I read Gillian Flynn&amp;#39;s can&amp;#39;t-put-it-down thriller Gone Girl in what seemed like seconds (and then gobbled up Sharp Objects and Dark Places soon after), so I&amp;#39;ve been following the casting announcements for the big-screen adaptation like they&amp;#39;re the NFL draft picks.\nWe were amped to find out that Ben Affleck is set to play Nick Dunne, the husband&amp;#8212;though I will admit I think he might be a little too old for the part, but he&amp;#39;ll still play it brilliantly. And now, according to Variety, movie execs are thisclose to signing on Rosamund Pike as the titular Gone Girl: his wife, Amy Dunne.\nPinterestFacebook*Interesting! Rosamund was so sweet as Jane in Pride and Prejudice that I have a hard time picturing her as the charming-yet-cunning Amy, but I&amp;#39;m open to seeing how she does. Plus, with David Fincher directing and Reese Witherspoon producing, this is set to be as big a hit as the novel. *\nAlso, reports are saying Neil Patrick Harris would play Amy&amp;#39;s ex, Desi. Kind of amazing, IMO.\nWhat do you think of this casting? Who did you picture playing Amy?\nPhoto: Getty Images"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
