Friday Morning Videos: Meet BENJAMIN BUTTON

1 comment May 23rd, 2008

David Fincher has made some of the most visually striking, thematically imaginative movies of the last 20 years, and his latest looks like a fitting follow-up to 2007’s brilliant ZODIAC — though it’s also completely different.

Based on a story by F. Scott Fitzgerald, THE CURIOUS CASE OF BENJAMIN BUTTON focuses on a guy who ages in reverse, following him from his beginnings around World War I to his end in the present. It stars Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett, and here’s the trailer. It’s in Spanish, but don’t worry — the visuals tell the story.

It’s due just before Christmas, and personally, I can’t wait.

UPDATE: Sorry, folks, but it looks like this video has been removed from You Tube. When a more permanent version (maybe even one in English) surfaces, I’ll link to it.
