The Curious Case of the Benjamin Button
Youtube Trailer imdb synopsis: Tells the story of Benjamin Button, a man who starts aging backwards with bizarre consequences. Directed by David Fincher Starring: Brad Pitt Cate Blanchett Tilda Swinton Release Date: December 19th, 2008 +++ Trailer got me excited. This one looks great. |
Agreed this looks fantastic. Best picture contender methinks.
|
Yeah I really liked the look of it. Didn't know it was Fincher, that makes it even better.
|
I'll be there opening week.
|
let's hope this one gets some oscar attention. i hated seeing ZODIAC not nominated for a single thing.

Heard about the movie some time ago (anything Fincher does, gets my attention) but today at Indy was the first time I've seen the trailer.
Looks amazing and I like it's release date. |

A lot of factors, including studio politics, go into how heavily a movie is promoted by the studios for Oscar consideration. Paramount released both "Zodiac" and "There Will Be Blood." Usually studios don't compete against themselves for the major awards. Although the release of "Zodiac" early in the year may have been a factor, I suspect the bigger factor was that Paramount put all its promotional effort behind "There Will Be Blood." |
I'll be first in line! Can't wait. Saw the great trailer before Indy 4 and it got the whole theater talking.
|
Saw the trailer before Indiana Jones on Thursday. Looks very intriguing.

I am looking forward to this as well.

Was happy to see this trailer tonight, since I'd heard it was attached to Indiana Jones but Regal here often leaves off previews seen elsewhere. I love the lack of a synopsis via voiceover, simply letting the film speak for itself (for now, at least). And those visuals! Absolutely breathtaking.
These two minutes more than made up for the terrible mess that was Indy IV. :) |
Count me in. An extremely intriguing teaser, and anything Fincher usually guarantees my interest. Maybe they'll finally give him his dues for getting fucked over on the raw deal Zodiac got.

Fincher + Pitt = SOLD

imdb.com has the budget listed as $150m.
Not sure what that will end up being (imdb on pre-release movies isn't exactly accurate), but that seems oddly high for a movie adaptation of a F. Scott Fitzgerald story. I'm stoked to see it. |
guess I'm the only one who thought the teaser looked pretty lame. However, I have been waiting for about 2 years for this movie, and Fincher rules...so who knows...
|
Is the one in theaters the same as this one? This one comes off a tad like a perfume commercial more than anything.

Yup, that's what has be excited for the film. Not a Pitt fan & all & Fincher is way more miss than hit for me. IMO the two best actresses going right now in the same film. |
The trailer looks good but I will be seeing it anyway since I know one of actresses playing the younger Cate Blanchett role.
|
Who is the actress at the 1:28 mark in the trailer? She looks so familiar. I can't find her listed on IMDB. It looks like Blanchett, but I could swear it isn't.

Anyway, it looks interesting and I'm really excited about it. |
