Missouri: Cape Giradeau

Gone Girl, David Fincher’s adaptation of the novel about a marriage turned seriously sour, is set in the made-up Missouri town of North Carthage. Many scenes were filmed around Cape Giradeau, the town which actually provided the original inspiration for the novel. The Common Pleas Courthouse features a fair bit as the site of a disastrous press conference and a candlelight vigil, while the house where husband Nick (Ben Affleck) makes a gruesome discovery is on Keystone Drive near the Cape Woods Observation Area.
