A peek into David Fincher's uncompromising filmmaking

A peek into David Fincher's uncompromising filmmaking process on the eve of the release of his new film, Zodiac. Jake Gyllenhaal: "David knows what he wants, and he's very clear about what he wants, and he's very, very, very smart. But sometimes we'd do a lot of takes, and he'd turn, and he would say, because he had a computer there, 'Delete the last 10 takes.' And as an actor that's very hard to hear."
