There's been a LOT of chatter about Ben Affleck's casting as Batman in recent months - but the caped crusader isn't the only contentious role that the star is taking on.

The 41-year-old star is playing Nick Dunne in the forthcoming movie adaptation of Gillian Flynn's hugely successful novel Gone Girl.

[related]And fans of the book have today been given their second look at the big-screen version - which is directed by David Fincher of Fight Club and The Social Network fame.

The new promo sees Affleck's character caught in a media maelstrom after the disappearance of his wife, played by Rosamund Pike, with the finger of suspicion pointing at him.

However there are hints that all may not be as it seems, with voiceover contributions from Pike's character suggesting something more complex is happening.

Neil Patrick Harris also makes an appearance in the trailer, as a volunteer who instantly arouses suspicion.

The movie is set for release on 3 October.
