The Trailer Everyone Keeps Talking About!
Okay, I bought us a little bit of time with that title, but understand the video above won't be around that long. This is the first Spanish-language trailer for David Fincher's new flick The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, though I have a feeling it's just dubbed and not a completely different trailer from the one currently playing in front of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. I've been hearing a lot about this trailer in the past 24 hours; so has Peter from Slashfilm, as his readers have been emailing him -- claiming this trailer is the greatest thing in the history of great things.
It certainly looks odd, wild and beautiful -- almost as if David Fincher and Tim Burton had a child; this is what it would look like. The clean, crisp full English-language trailer will probably debut within the next few days online, so feel free to wait for that one or snag a taste from the one above. In case you're wondering, Benjamin Button stars Brad Pitt as a man who was born in his eighties and starts aging backwards. That's all I'll say for now; oh, and it also stars Cate Blanchett, Tilda Swinton, Elle Fanning and Julia Ormond.
Let us know what you think -- the film comes out December 19th.

5. I read the short story the film was based on, and I bet it was somewhat difficult to make a whole movie based on 50 page book.
But the film does look like it's going to be very good

6. Fincher has such a particular chiaroscuro about his movies that you can almost identify his signature by the sheer cinematography, a true talent. Can't wait to see this.

7. Just for the record, that is the same trailer that plays in front of Indy. Looks to be interesting.

8. That's funny. I saw this trailer in front of Indy, and I kinda felt like I'd seen the movie already. One of those 'gives too much away' kind of things. I'm also a little worried that he'll end up as one of those creepy CG-lip babies you see in commercials all the time.

9. Odd..I read a novel recently that had almost the exact same premise..Max Tivoli?

10. the confessions of max tivoli was inspired by the original short story by f scott fitzgerald this film is based off of, so there's a reason for the similarities. also, i kind of wish they had just made max tivoli into a movie, but i guess this is kind of the same thing. looks incredible, by the way. the first fincher film i liked was zodiac, and this looks to be like another one that will actually be good.
