Gone Girl is a 2014 USA thriller by David Fincher.
Starring Ben Affleck, Rosamund Pike and Neil Patrick Harris.
Indian film censors at the CBFC have demanded cuts before the film can be theatrically released in India. A
senior marketing official at the movie's local distributor, Fox Star Studios, explained:
The movie was submitted for censorship, and certain cuts were demanded. These suggestions have been sent to Fincher's team, and
he will be sending his cut, which we will submit again to the censors. We are aiming for an October 24 release.
The adult-rated movie, which originally included scenes of nudity, sex and graphic violence, is an acclaimed adaptation of
Gillian Flynn's bestselling account of a husband's attempts to find his missing wife.
In the US the film was rated R uncut for a scene of bloody violence, some strong sexual content/nudity, and language.
In the UK the film was rated 18
uncut for strong bloody violence and very strong language.
Fincher's last film, an adaptation of Stieg Larsson's The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo , also feel foul of Indian film censors and ended up not getting a theatrical release.

Based on Gillian Flynn's bestselling novel by the same name, Gone Girl features Ben Affleck as an out-of-work writer who becomes
the main suspect when his wife, Rosamund Pike, goes missing. Neal Patrick Harris plays her obsessive ex-lover.
The CBFC has imposed five cuts editing out scenes of frontal nudity sex and violence.
One look at the reviews and you will know
that all three of the stars have bared all. A shower scene, featuring Affleck in the nude, has become a talking-point with many online commentators, not too mention repressed film censors. A pivotal sex scene featuring Pike and Harris has also got the
cut.
A CBFC official said:
There is too much nudity in the film. Scenes show bare breasts and usage of words like pussy and cunt. How can we allow such stuff to release in India?
