David Fincher's films have improved as he's got older, progressing from his awkward, premature introduction to movie directing in Alien 3 (following in the footsteps of Ridley Scott and James Cameron must be as hard a task as there is) to the increasingly confident Se7en, Fight Club, Zodiac, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and The Social Network. Fincher cut his teeth on music videos, working with some of the biggest names in the business, such as Madonna ("Express Yourself," "Vogue"), many of Paula Abdul's biggest hits, Aerosmith ("Janie's Got a Gun") and the Rolling Stones ("Love Is Strong"). With The Social Network, Fincher's one of the favorites to win an Best Director Oscar, and he will see the year out by releasing the first of the Hollywood remakes of the Millennium Trilogy, starting with The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.
