The scene where Brandon hears his sister sing in the restaurant was shot in real time. James Badge Dale and Michael Fassbender had never heard Carey Mulligan sing before so their reactions were real. The scene was shot at 3 a.m in the morning with cameras focused on all 3 performers at the same time. X.

in 2008 i went camping in the oregon mountains with three actors, one cinematographer, and one helping hand. we made this film. it is now online in its entirety to watch for free.
Fincher’s commentary track on the new Chinatown blu ray is pretty great.
