How David Fincher Helped Shape Weapons
Briefly

Jordan Peele parted ways with his long-time managers following the loss of a film auction. David Fincher contributed to Weapons through feedback and insights during pre and post-production, being credited despite not being directly involved. Director Zach Cregger expressed gratitude, stating Fincher offered constructive thoughts that enhanced his understanding of the editing process. Fincher encouraged a mindset of continuous improvement, emphasizing that there are always additional options or edits available to achieve the desired outcome in filmmaking.
He watched the movie and had a lot of really constructive thoughts and gave me a ton of ideas. He helped me learn more about the editing process and how to think about it in a new way that wasn't available to me when I was making Barbarian.
Dave's attitude is, 'It can always be better, and there are a lot of tools that you have at your disposal that you might not be thinking about.'
