Producer\/ Director\/ Actor Tyler Perry<\/strong>, whose last non-directed film was the thriller Alex Cross<\/strong>, is being considered for a supporting role in David Fincher<\/strong>‘s mystery thriller ‘Gone Girl<\/strong>.’<\/p>\n

According to THR, Perry is being eyed for a role along with Neil Patrick Harris<\/strong>. Rosamund Pike<\/strong> has been offered and is expected to accept the starring role opposite Ben Affleck<\/strong> in the 20th Century Fox film.<\/p>\n

Pike will play a wife who goes missing on her fifth wedding anniversary, as her husband (Affleck) becomes the prime suspect. Much of the story is told in flashbacks.<\/p>\n

Author Gillian Flynn<\/strong> adapted the screenplay from her novel, which became one of the biggest sellers of 2012. Reese Witherspoon<\/strong>, who optioned the book last summer, is producing alongside Bruna Papandrea<\/strong> and Leslie Dixon<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The film is set to go into production in September.<\/p>\n

Perry’s first non-lead, non-directed, non-produced film was as Admiral Barnett in J. J. Abrams<\/strong>‘ 2009 Star Trek<\/strong>. When speaking to Blackfilm.com then<\/a> about appearing in someone else’s film, he stated, “He (Abrams) was the first. It didn\u2019t make sense to do a movie that I can do myself. I don\u2019t want you to call me and ask me to do a film about a black family. I can do that myself. I don\u2019t want to be in your movie doing that. Now, if you want me to do \u2018Mission: Impossible\u2019, or \u2018Star Trek\u2019 or \u2018Wolverine\u2019, which I was called for but I couldn\u2019t do because I was doing \u2018The Family That Preys\u2019, but those sort of films, yes, I can do that.” <\/strong><\/p>\n
