Friday Morning Videos: Meet BENJAMIN BUTTON
May 23rd, 2008 at 10:26am Will Pfeifer
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.

What? did everyone else start their holiday vacation already? I’m practically the only person commenting this week! lol
As for Benjamin Button, I’m very… well, curious (no pun intended…well, maybe a little). It seems really bizarre, but if there’s anyone I trust, it’s David Fincher, especially when teamed up with Brad Pitt. Together they have made two of my top favorite films of all time: Fight Club and Seven.
