Olympic sized t.v. spot for BENJAMIN BUTTON

I can’t express how incredibly excited I am to see David Fincher’s follow-up to Zodiac, the much anticipated sci-fi/drama The Curious Case of Benjamin Button which re-teams the director with his Fight Club and Se7en star Brad Pitt.

The movie is an adaptation of a 1920’s F. Scott Fitzgerald short story where our lead Pitt starts aging backwards, which has disastrous consequences for his life, specifically his relationship with Cate Blanchett.

The movie whose colour scheme and feel looks like a blending of Cronenberg’s Eastern Promises mixed with Shyamalan’s Unbreakable but with Fincher’s ever distinct mark.

This pretty epic sized t.v. spot aired during the Olympic Games on Sunday night, sadly it ain’t the best quality but it’s actually the most footage we have seen of the movie so far. I believe it even gives us more glimpses at the film than the trailer.

Look for it on December 19th (U.S.) and 22nd January (U.K.)

  2. I’m very much looking for to this Fincher/Pitt film. After watching this for the first time, it looks like it will be another Fincher great, and I think it’s a good thing that he turns in films that are “too” long. Good stories/films can be long and keep you entertained. Ficher proves that.

  3. I know I’ll get a lot of lashin out for this, but I truly believe Fincher is a better director than Nolan. More creative and inspiring works, all the way down to the set pieces. Bring on tha Button Man man!
