Watch Ben Affleck Get Grilled by the Cops in an Exclusive New 'Gone Girl' Clip

In these days of manufactured hype, there are few films whose arrival still qualifies as genuine events, but Gone Girl easily scales those heights.

Based upon the chart-devouring best-seller by Gillian Flynn, directed by the king of dark-toned prestige filmmaking David Fincher, starring Ben Affleck straight off his Argo-driven career resurrection, Gone Girl arrives dripping with expectation.

The gripping thriller plot tells the story of two failed New York City magazine writers (played by Affleck and British actress Rosamund Pike) who are forced to relocate to the midwest.  On their fifth anniversary wedding anniversary, Affleck’s character discovers his wife has disappeared. As the search commences, soon enough, the world begins to wonder if he did, in fact, kill his wife.

In this scene, which you can see exclusively on Yahoo Movies, Affleck’s character, Nick Dunne, is brought in for questioning by two police officers (played by Kim Dickens and Almost Famous alum Patrick Fugit) trying to size him up: Is he just a hapless husband in over his head? Or a killer trying to throw everyone off the trail? Find out when Gone Girl opens Oct. 3
