On the screen, he's a bald, 6'2'' Corey Stoll. On the page, an incarcerated Ben is described as short with long hair, acne on his mouth and glasses. So what's different about the stories? Here are a few changes from the page to the screen: Both stories end with (don't read the end of this sentence if you don't want to know the ending) Ben's freedom from prison, and the discovery that the murders were committed by Diondra and the "Angel of Debt." Though our reviews of the movie and book are distinct, the story in both forms of Dark Places is very similar, with the same plot twists and some identical dialogue: Libby Day survives the murder of her mother and sisters, testifies that her brother did the crime and revisits the events 25 years later, after being paid by members of the Kill Club (a group that obsesses over murder cases) to do so. We were wrong: David Fincher's film adaptation was dark and fantastic.įlynn's Dark Places, on the other hand, turned out to be a much better read than it was a cinematic experience from director Gilles Paquet-Brenner (despite its talented cast that includes Charlize Theron, Christina Hendricks, Nicholas Hoult, Chloe Grace Moretz and Corey Stoll). We loved the Gillian Flynn book Gone Girl, and worried that it wouldn't translate on the big screen. Spoiler alert! The following contains spoilers for the book and movie Dark Places.
