But trying to list some famous accused murderers, Affleck seemed to blank, saying, “Like Amanda, uh, Stacey? Amanda Knox . . . What’s his name who killed his wife? Scott Peterson?” before continuing, “A part of our culture has kind of become addicted to that.” Meanwhile, Emily Ratajkowski, the “Blurred Lines” model who debuts in the film, was in an accident on the way there when her driver backed into another vehicle. “We had a little blip, we were a few minutes later than we hoped, but we survived,” she said. “No whiplash as far as I know.” Share this: * Facebook * Twitter * Google * WhatsApp * Email * Copy * Filed under ben affleck , blurred lines , david fincher , emily ratajkowski , gone girl , new york film festival Share this article: Share this: * Facebook * Twitter * Google * WhatsApp * Email * Copy * Read Next We hear...
