Fincher comments on why he cast Pike in Gone Girl:

Rosamund was someone that I had seen in four or five different movies over 10 years, and I never got a bead on her. I never got a sense of who she was. And I pride myself on being able to watch actors and sort of know instinctively what their utility belt is, and I don’t have that with Rosamund. I didn’t know what she was building off of. There was an opacity there and it was interesting.

rosamund-pike-relationship-woodsPike begins a relationship with Woods while studying at Oxford. She has not previously dated often:

I don’t sleep around … I’m not saying they’re the only people I’ve been out with. But I take love quite seriously. I’m talking about the life-changing ones, the ones who somehow get inside you, who actually alter your chemical make-up, where you get butterflies and feel like your stomach’s turning over – a whole physical world which you’re not in control of at all. And I think one is lucky when one gets to feel this. Some people I don’t think ever do.
