Curious Case of Benjamin ButtonOf all the movies that I had hoped would show up at TIFF, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button was at the top of the list. Unfortunately it is not due out until December 25th and that feels like it is far off as my anticipation for Fincher’s newest movie just grows and grows.

We just received notice from Paramount that there is a new trailer out and as it is officially only available over at Apple I’m going to point you in the direction and tell you to run not walk (if that is even possible on the interweb) and go check it out.

Here is a bit more information about it also:

Cast: Brad Pitt, Cate Blanchett, Taraji P. Henson, Julia Ormond, Jason Flemyng, Elias Koteas and Tilda Swinton

Synopsis: “I was born under unusual circumstances.” And so begins “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button,” adapted from the 1920s story by F. Scott Fitzgerald about a man who is born in his eighties and ages backwards: a man, like any of us, who is unable to stop time. We follow his story, set in New Orleans from the end of World War I in 1918, into the 21st century, following his journey that is as unusual as any man’s life can be. Directed by David Fincher and starring Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett with Taraji P. Henson, Tilda Swinton, Jason Flemyng, Elias Koteas and Julia Ormond, “Benjamin Button,” is a grand tale of a not-so-ordinary man and the people and places he discovers along the way, the loves he finds, the joys of life and the sadness of death, and what lasts beyond time.

  1. I’ve been looking forward to this movie for a long time. Probably my most anticipated film of 2008 along with TDK and Choke. Fincher always does great work. I can’t wait to see what he does with this.

  3. I’m curious of the movie will be deemed ‘too technical’ for Oscar (as in all that make-up, special effects work). I’m pulling for Fincher, he is probably the best balance of technical/depth working in the US today.

    Half the the ‘negative’ reviews that CHOKE is getting being due to there is no way in hell Clark could come close to Fight Club’s visual and thematic balancing-act.

  4. I’ve been pinning to see this trailer since Friday and I’m happy that it doesn’t disappoint. I’m particularly digging the classic Hollywood feel.

  6. This one’s quickly moving up the list to be one of my most anticipated films for 2008.

  7. Looks like “young” Benjamin is full on CGI creation.
    This flick looks very strange.
