Ben Affleck says “Gone Girl,” about a man accused of killing his wife after she goes missing, could be a dark satire on cable news.

“This particular satire, I guess, is about the cable media, the way it wants to find sensationalism and use that for sanctimony and it kind of creates a story if it’s not there and how every American could kind of reel off the names of the last 10 killers that were famous,” he told reporters Friday at the New York Film Festival premiere of the 20th Century Fox release directed by David Fincher.

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.”
