The Bond girl will play the lead female opposite Ben Affleck in the anticipated movie, with reports circulating earlier this month that the Argo star is first in line for the male lead.
Fincher has reportedly lined up an all-star cast with How I Met Your Mother's Neil Patrick Harris and Tyler Perry also in line for supporting roles.
The Hollywood Reporter reveal that Rosamund, who recently starred opposite Tom Cruise in Jack Reacher, has been offered and is expected to accept the starring role in the thriller.
Pike will play the role of Amy, a wife who goes missing on her fifth wedding anniversary, with her husband (Affleck) soon becoming the prime suspect.
