The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (directed by David Fincher) is a movie based on F. Scott Fitzgerald's short story of the same title, about a man (Brad Pitt) who is born an old man around the age of 70 and grows younger every year until he ceases to exist. The movie also stars Cate Blanchett and Tilda Swinton, and is to come out in theaters on Christmas.
I've read the short story, and I have to say it's pretty awesome. I can't wait to see how Fincher brings it to life. =] Tell me what you guys think! Looks interesting? Boring? Click: Teaser Trailer Short story |

i'm slightly confused; in the story, his mental age is the same as his physical appearance, but in the trailer it seemed as though his mental age was consistent with his actual age, and opposite to his physical appearance (or am i wrong?).
that in itself is enough for me to want to watch it, as i love comparing books to their movie counterparts. |
