This week on the Frame Work program, a discussion of David Fincher’s 2002 Hitchcock pastiche Panic Room, starring the great Jodie Foster, the great Forest Whitaker and the Jared Leto. And joining us once again, the world’s foremost Panic Room expert, Joon Kim. We’ll be chatting about the appeal of this material to such a stacked cast, the unmade Nicole Kidman version, who the film’s real protagonist is, and also a bit on Fincher’s perspective on wealth, as it appears to be a major theme in more than a few of these movies.
Finch Club will be taking a brief breather before we proceed into the back half of Fincher’s resume, but we’ve still got something else for you. Next week will begin a deep dive into the Peter Jackson Lord of the Rings adaptation, which we had a blast talking about.
