Washington, Feb 21 : David Fincher has signed on to direct horror romance 'Black Hole'.

Fincher will be directing from a script penned by Roger Avary and Neil Gaiman.

On board as producers are Kevin Messick and Plan B Entertainment, reports the Hollywood Reporter.

Fincher has just finished helming the Brad Pitt starrer "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" for Paramount.
