Line 192:
Columbia Pictures marketed ''Panic Room'' as being produced by the same director who produced ''[[Seven (1995 film)|Seven]]'' and ''[[Fight Club]]''. Fincher disagreed with the approach because he believed that ''Panic Room'' did not match the tone of his previous two films and that it would not appeal to the same audiences. He believed ''Panic Room'' would appeal more to audiences who saw ''[[Kiss the Girls (1997 film)|Kiss the Girls]]'' (1997) and ''[[The Bone Collector]]'' (1999). He also disagreed with the studio's marketing materials for ''Panic Room'', which advertised it as "the most terrifying movie ever made". Fincher also argued with the studio about the poster design, which he believed reflected the film's themes, and the studio relented in publishing Fincher's poster.<ref name="swallow171" />
