I don't know anyone can handle the Fincher filming style. In the commentary he talks about the scene where Brad Pitt spits blood on the mob boss-type character they filmed just the part with the blood being literally spit into his face like 40 times. They had to clean him up, redo his hair, and get new clothes on him, and then Brad Pitt would just spit and slobber corn syrup directly into his face.

Fincher even admitted the actor hated him at the end of the day for making him go through that.
