David Fincher knew what he signed up for when he chose to direct the film adaption of Gillian Flynn’s best-selling novel “Gone Girl.” Granted, book-to-movie productions happen often enough in Hollywood that audiences typically don’t think twice.
FOX’s “The Mindy Project” debuted its third season last Tuesday. If anything, the premiere reassured viewers this fresh and innovative sitcom isn’t growing old anytime soon.In season two’s finale, Mindy Lahiri (Mindy Kaling) and Danny Castellano (Chris Messina) found themselves at the top of the Empire State Building in a Nora Ephron-esque conclusion.
