TRAILER PARK: The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
From David Fincher, the director of Fight Club, Seven, and Zodiac, comes an epic fantasy/romance based on a short story by F. Scott Fitzgerald? Yes, you heard it right. This November, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button starring Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett will grace cinemas. The Fitzgerald story about a backwards-aging man has been adapted by Eric Roth who penned the screenplay for Forrest Gump. Production has been wrapped for a while now, but rumor has it that post-production has been extremely tough because Pitt’s face needs to be aged and affixed to his character’s numerous age changes.
I don’t normally read screenplays before I see a film, but I’ve read the first draft for this and it was fantastic. I can’t wait to see what Fincher has in store this November. This may just be the best film of 2008.
Check out the trailer in beautiful HD over at Quicktime!

Same here, Colleen. BTW, I’ll be watching My Winnipeg this weekend.

I think this is one of the most beautiful/intriguing trailers I’ve seen in quite some time. Reminds me a bit of Big Fish for some reason…
But what really got to me is that they were able too hook me with 1 line of dialog and then a series of images that perfectly captured the story and concept of the movie (or so I assume).
I could be wrong, but I heard it was shot digitally, which might cause me to go see it in a new digital theater near Oklahoma City…

Most excellent. If there’s one person I trust with CGI it’s David Fincher after Zodiac.

I’m in such blackout mode on this one that I don’t even know what I’m commenting on. I’m typing this blindfolded. Where am I?

Ryan, they have a digital screen at AMC Southroads, so you might not have to drive all the way to OKC for this.

Excellent, I didn’t know that! Do they specifically put digitally shot films in it?

Yes, they do. They even do digital 3D as well. I saw Beowulf, as well as Speed Racer and a few others. So if Benjamin Button is going to be delivered in digital to theaters, AMC will likely get it.
