Either way, Fincher is a damn fine director. I'll be there at opening.

I just hope it's got more talk in it, and not just some really arty flick which is just Music and Visuals.
It actually reminds me a lot of the 1st trailer for Assasination of Jesse James. I wanna see it in HD.

Holy shit, I had no idea Fincher was directing this. I'm shocked that we're getting a Fincher film just one year after the previous.
And, as others have said, Fincher+Pitt+Blanchett=Sold.

Anyway, about "Benjamin Buttons," it's David Fincher directing an F. Scott Fitzgerald story. I think we'll be OK.

I don't think Brad Pitt will take a role where he doesn't speak for the whole movie. I wouldn't be surprised to see a montage similar to the trailer of some age ranges they want to speed through.

Trailer is now available in High Def:

Looks.. stunning. Still think a few shots give off a perfume commercial vibe, but it looks very solid.

21 months, nearly 2 years, but yeah I agree - that's fast for him.

I actually hope the film can live up to that trailer. It's probably the magical theme, what is the name of this tune that I know I've heard a many time? The trailer really presents it as an artsy flick. And I do hope it can be magical film. This seems like a film you take time to present. I can only wonder the length of this thing. 2 hours something I'd assume.
