The chilling first photo of the married couple from Gone Girl  has been released, thanks to Entertainment Weekly.

Gone Girl features Ben Affleck as Nick Dunne and Rosamund Pike as Amy Dunne. In the David Fincher (Gone Girl director) shot photo posted on Jan. 8, Affleck is seen cozying next to Pike's dead body. Pike is lying down face up on a metal morgue bed while Affleck has his leg cradled around her and his face pressed up against hers.

In the film, Nick and Amy move from New York City to the midwest. On their fifth wedding anniversary, Amy goes missing. With the media hounding Nick, his dirty secrets and weird behavior start to unravel and his perfect marriage doesn't seem so flawless anymore, leaving people to question if he killed his wife.

The dark and novel characters are a common place for Fincher, who also directed Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. "I don't know what 'likable' is. I know people who are doting parents, who give to charity, drive Priuses, all those things, who are insufferable a- -holes," he says. "I like people who get s - - - done," the director said when speaking about his characters.

The movie is based off the best selling book by Gillian Flynn, who seemingly has an inclination to parlay her books into screenplays. "There was something thrilling about taking this piece of work that I'd spent about two years painstakingly putting together with all its eight million LEGO pieces and take a hammer to it and bash it apart and reassemble it into a movie," she says.

Gone Girl is set to release in theaters October 3, 2014. Stay tuned for further Gone Girl news.
